The archive contains the file /etc/postinstall/lyx.sh/lyx.sh so the script lyx.sh is in the wrong location. It should have been directly in /etc/postinstall. This means that the script is not run by setup.exe. If you look at /etc/fonts/local.conf you will see that /usr/share/lyx/fonts is not listed there. Simply run by hand the script and then you should see \alpha & Co. When running setup.exe, it wanted to uninstall my unofficial package because it has the same name and your version is newer than mine ;-) I think I have to change the name of the unofficial package as both can be installed without conflict and contain different binaries. Perhaps I will split the package into lyx-common, lyx-qtwin, and lyx-xforms in order to avoid the clash. Or, better, I could make your package a prerequisite (it would play the role of lyx-common) such that I have to package only the executables, cutting down the size ;-) -- Enrico
