Stephan, Yes! going to document settings, fonts, and then unclicking “Use non-Tex fonts…” solves the problem with displaying my diagram. Thank you. Now with that option unchecked, I cannot typeset my document using command-R. I guess I can use other ways to view my output, though. Do you know why command-R doesn’t work? Is there a way to fix that? Before my update I did not encounter this, so something must be different now!

This is odd. I don’t recall having this problem before my upgrade to Mavericks. And very odd that is crops up in one file but not another. It looks like python fails to process something… Hi Dough, note the difference in the two calls: the 2nd one has an additional switch "--latex=xelatex". This may be caused by the XeTeX/LuaTeX setting in the document settings. Perhaps you can live without it?

Here are two lyx files. The one titled displays.lyx displays my diagram. The other one does not. Doug, that's better. But I have to say: both are working on my system - a Mac with LyX-2.1.2 on OS X 10.8.6. I've noticed I have to click somewhere sometimes to trigger the display of the preview snippet. The two examples are different only regarding the \use_non_tex_fonts and the \font_roman setting in the preferences. What you can do to check for errors converting is to open the message pane and enable the graphics conversion message. There you should see the problem if one exists.

On my screen I see X\ar[r] Y Instead of X -> Y Normally, when I am editing my diagram I see my xypic code and when I place the cursor outside the editing area, the diagram converts from code to a picture. Now, I see my code, but I do not see the picture when I place the cursor outside the editing area. Does this help? Sorry, no it doesn't help. A minimal example is a complete LyX file. See here: http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample Stephan Thanks!

My xypic diagrams are not previewing in LyX. I can see the matrix with the code, but no nice WYSIWYG picture with nodes and arrows. The file compiles fine and the diagrams look good in the pdf. I have gone into preferences, look&feel, display, display graphics is checked. TexLive is telling me that the preview Latex package is installed. I reinstalled preview and xypic packages anyway and that did not help. Other equations (e.g. \beta ) display fine. I would appreciate any advice or short term workarounds. Thanks!
