I've been using this the Cygwin port of Lyx 1.3.1 with XFree86 for some time now and it has been working fairly well.
( http://wwwserv1.rz.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/lyx/ )
Recently, I wanted installed a few new components to my Cygwin system and I it updated me to XFree86 4.3. That's when the trouble began, and the Cygwin setup program no longer offers the old version 4.2. Also XFig requires the new 4.3 version.
Basically, Lyx crashes whenever it tries to display a math character such as \pi . The message it gives is
BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) id: 8388792
This could be a very simple font or setup problem, but I've tried resinatlling everything multiple times in different orders to no avail.
I've also tried turning all dbg levels from 5-10 and that's still the only message I get. Does this sound familar to anyone and/or give a hint where the problem is?
I've included the file generating by "cygcheck -s" just in case that helps.
Thanks, Henry Pfister
