I also don't think so. It may be different (buggy?) behavior of

Yes, that may be. Bennett, can you try if changing the display
fonts makes a difference?
That's it. I don't know enough about different fonts to know how to
describe what works and what doesn't, but:
* Hoefler Text (Mac dfont file -- datafork TTF) gives me skipped
lines.
* Times New Roman (ffil file -- ttf font suitcase) works properly
* Times (Mac dfont file) gives me skipped lines *and* does not
display on the screen properly. (It comes out in a generic sans-
serif font.)
Other font files behave like Times (not displaying properly); as
far as I can tell, those that display improperly are all dfont
files, though not all dfont files display improperly.
Some dfont files work properly, some don't. Some display properly,
some don't. Some generic .ttf files work, some don't. Some fonts I
have on my system show up in LyX's list of fonts, some don't. I
can't see a pattern to it all.
Unfortunately, with current svn (18369), the problem is back for
*all* fonts -- at least every one I've tried, including those that
previously did not display the problem (like Times New Roman).
