I (still) have problem with LyX 1.3.1 XForms 1.0 under Solaris (SUN computer). I myself manage to compile and use LyX 1.3.1. I have installed it in my home directory. Especially the math symbols (greek characters etc.) show correctly in equations on the screen when I remove the directory .../share/lyx/xfonts .
When my friends try to run the LyX 1.3.1 program from my home directory, math symbols (greek characters etc.) show incorrectly on the scrren in equations as other characters, e.g. P instead of a sum symbol. The result is the same with or without the .../share/lyx/xfonts directory.
One of my friends received the following error message in the shell window when he started LyX 1.3.1 for the first time (with the .../share/lyx/xfonts directory available):
.... removing xfonts/fonts.dir, which is identical to the system global version removing font links ....
Later when inserting a \sum in an equation:
Could not get font '-unknown-cmex10-medium-r-normal--19-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-fontspecific'. Using 'fixed'.
Without the .../share/lyx/xfonts directory still \sum will show as P on the screen but no error messages are printed.
What shall we do? Can anyone help us?
