So it's not a philosophical change on the part of the programmers, it's probably an installation issue. Newer versions of LyX use Qt for the GUI, whereas older versions used xforms. People have reported various problems with getting symbols to display, and the solution in some cases is to install additional fonts (covered on the Wiki page). My impression, though, is that the font issues manifest as incorrect or missing symbols in equations, not LaTeX commands being written out verbatim. It might help if you could post a small example. Also, does this occur with all math symbols, or do some display graphically while others display as text? -- Paul
