Here is my "template_test.lyx" file, which contains displayed math with \text{}
containing letter "ø". This letter is not displayed wieh I have enabled
"instant preview". It does show up when preview in LyX is turned off. In any
way, it shows up in the generated PDF file.
Still, it annoys me that it doesn't show up when I turn on "instant preview".
Any clues? I use the latest version of Windows 10 (v 1803) 64 bit, LyX 2.3.1 64
bit, version from September 2018 (?).
Suggestions are appreciated.

You can also try whether making a copy of your problem document and opening the
copy makes a difference. As far as I remember this should force LyX to
regenerate the preview.
