No. BTW where do these files live once installed -- can I check if they're there or not? The font files are in Windows\fonts directory. Their names are msbm.ttf etc. regards Uwe

I had recently uninstalled the Lyx 1.3.7 'complete installer', then I installed the new LyX. Does the uninstaller sometimes delete files during reboot? Perhaps these files were replaced by the new installed, but marked for deletion by the old uninstaller? Could that be happening? BTW where do these files live once installed -- can I check if they're there or not? I'll install the extra fonts when I'm back at that machine. Thanks both of you for the help, Cheers JP

I've found then when I enter math fonts, I get strange effects like \delta showing up as a 'one half' character, and \tau showing up as an upside-down question mark. Presumably this is to do with LyX having a wrong character map for the font(s) it's using for the live rendering of the equations. If I turn on the 'instant preview' feature then the preview versions show correctly. But this makes it hard to actually write the equations. Has anyone got any suggestions for how to fix this? How can I check that LyX has its necessary maths fonts? Go to http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX136 and check the section "Math fonts". Paul
funny math fonts with lyx 1.4.1 on winxp
Hi all I've been using LyX 1.4.2 (from the win installer complete 2-01) on Windows XP. I've found then when I enter math fonts, I get strange effects like \delta showing up as a 'one half' character, and \tau showing up as an upside-down question mark. Presumably this is to do with LyX having a wrong character map for the font(s) it's using for the live rendering of the equations. If I turn on the 'instant preview' feature then the preview versions show correctly. But this makes it hard to actually write the equations. Has anyone got any suggestions for how to fix this?
