No display of math symbols with lyx 1.3.0
Hello, I am using lyx 1.3.0 on a Solaris 8 Sparc system. I moved to 1.3.0 from 1.2.1. Everything works fine, except that when I type $a \leq b$, LyX displays a . b, i.e. the \leq shows up like a dot. Similar problems happen with other symbols , e.g. \sim shows up as . The greek \alpha, \beta, \gamma also show up as weird symbols (can't type them in ascii). What could be the cause of this? Thanks very much. Kostas Oikonomou

No display of math symbols with lyx 1.3.0
Hello, I am using lyx 1.3.0 on a Solaris 8 Sparc system. I moved to 1.3.0 from 1.2.1. Everything works fine, except that when I type $a \leq b$, LyX displays "a . b", i.e. the \leq shows up like a dot. Similar problems happen with other symbols , e.g. \sim shows up as >>. The greek \alpha, \beta, \gamma also show up as weird symbols (can't type them in ascii). What could be the cause of this? Thanks very much. Kostas Oikonomou

You probably need to install the latex-ttf-fonts as found on ftp.lyx.org btw, Dekel, you said you asked the fontconfig list about the pfb fonts, but I cannot find your message in the archives. Did you do this ? regards john

They seem to be installed properly -- they show up in xfontsel, and I can choose them as my screen font in lyx -- but I am still not getting proper math symbols. Nathan

I was thrown off by the fact that a) the fonts showed up in xfontsel, etc and b) my other font directories are not listed there either (debian has some weird way of managing fonts, but it mostly works so I don't ask questions ;-) ) Anyway, adding the path for the latex-ttx fonts to XftConfig fixed the problem. Thanks, Nathan

This still leaves us with the question why you ever got wrong symbols (ie lyx/qt thought the fonts were available, when they are not) in the first place. We've had a few people have that, but I do not know why. When you don't have the fonts available, you *should* get "\alpha" in red text, not some other symbol. regards john
