Bit of a mystery here. All was working well on my laptop as of the
last time I used LyX (yesterday or the day before). Installed pre17
today and math screen fonts were munged; \times displayed as a pound
sign, so of course I suspected Angus's handy work. :-) Ruurd's port
was also affected. Turns out the xft fonts were gone from my font
directory. Reinstalled them and all was well. Then reinstalled
1.3.6pre17, and the fonts were still there (and working correctly).
On the other hand, nothing else I've added to the laptop recently
should have gone anywhere near fonts.
So I'm just reporting this. If it doesn't happen to anyone else,
we'll assume that some other program got the munchies and ate the font
files. On the other hand, if anyone else reports it, we'll have a
pattern.
It ain't my installer. However, Uwe's does attempt to install new math
fonts I think. Have you been trying his out?

I tried his version 15 (I think), but then installed your v. 16, at
which point fonts were intact. It was after installing your v. 17 that
fonts disappeared. As an erstwhile mathematician, though, I am not
going to leap blindly into the "post hoc, ergo propter hoc" pit.
