Re: Classic Thesis and LyX

Did you set up some more fonts or change things after the standard
installation of your TeX distribution (and which TeX distro do you use)?

  
It turns out I had too few fonts installed. After installing the ubuntu 
package texlive-fonts-extra, the style works perfectly.


Thanks for helping me see this, Günter.

OK, as also a title uses scaled fonts, I still believe it to be an issue
with a specific font at a certain font size.

What error do you get?

Several. In LyX, you can select a font with Document>Settings>Font...

And if you select [Default] in LyX, you can set your choice in the LaTeX
preamble.

However, also the document class could select a special font.
Maybe disabling (commenting) the  \usepackage{extsize} could already help.

Maybe you can post a "minimal example" (smallest possible LyX file that
exhibits the problem) so others can try.

It most certainly is a font issue. Could you try if this happens 

with every math formula, 
only with sub- and superscripts, 
maybe with formulae in headings or otherwise scaled?

It most certainly is a font issue. Could you try if this happens 

with every math formula, 
only with sub- and superscripts, 
maybe with formulae in headings or otherwise scaled?

Does the problem go away if you choose a different font set?

Could you be more specific about your font setup?

I don't have the time to investigate your problem in detail. But I can provide 
you a LyX thesis
template I created for my institute and that I'm using for my thesis.
You might give it a try. If so I'm interested to get some feedback.
You find it here:
