This is one I've never seen before. I don't seem to have gotten fonts with my tetex. Here's the really simple file:

I've tried running texhash as root, and it didn't help. I'm sure I'm missing something real simple here, but I have no idea what it is. fwiw, when I run this on a two page file from lyx, with lots of itemized lists, it prints the bullets but not the text. rick --
