Crash in lyx 1.5.0rc1 (QFontEngineWin: GetTextMetrics failed ())

[Jaron Schaeffer]

Hi,

I have been using lyx 1.5.0rc1 (on Win XP) for a while to write my diploma thesis. However, a while ago I started to experience regular crashes when scrolling. I have tried to reproduce the crash by stripping down my thesis bit by bit and ended up with a very short document which I is attached (basically, it contains a paragraph of text and a simple formula). The problem seems to be related to the formula though, as without it, everything works fine. I use another computer (also Win XP + lyx 1.5.0rc1) to edit the same document, and everything works fine there. Maybe some third-party components are causing the trouble? The problem seems to be the same as described in http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg02473.html, however, I could not find a bug report and therefore decided to post this message. Please contact me for any questions.

How to crash (my) lyx:

- C:\Program Files\LyX15\bin>del preferences lyxrc.defaults
- C:\Program Files\LyX15\bin>lyxc.exe -userdir .
- [lyx reconfigures...]

- Open attached document and scroll down

Cheers
-Jaron
