Thanks Garst, My fonts are in /usr/share/texmf
The files you listed are found (relatively) where you listed them, except for: msam10.pfb and msbm10.pfb are in bluesky/symbols not bluesky/cm However, the links in /usr/share/lyx/xfonts are correct so no need to panic. I suspect that it's an issue with the CVS tree. Looking in lyx-devel/lib/xfonts we find: [user@host xfonts]$ ls -la total 16 drwxr-xr-x 2 surge surge 4096 Oct 19 04:47 ./ drwxr-xr-x 19 surge surge 4096 Oct 24 03:22 ../ lrwxrwxrwx 1 surge surge 50 Oct 19 04:47 cmex10.pfb -> /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmex10.pfb lrwxrwxrwx 1 surge surge 50 Oct 19 04:47 cmmi10.pfb -> /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmmi10.pfb lrwxrwxrwx 1 surge surge 49 Oct 19 04:47 cmr10.pfb -> /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr10.pfb lrwxrwxrwx 1 surge surge 50 Oct 19 04:47 cmsy10.pfb -> /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmsy10.pfb lrwxrwxrwx 1 surge surge 53 Oct 19 04:47 eufm10.pfb -> /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/euler/eufm10.pfb -rw-r--r-- 1 surge surge 600 Oct 19 04:47 fonts.dir -rw-r--r-- 1 surge surge 600 Oct 19 04:47 fonts.scale lrwxrwxrwx 1 surge surge 55 Oct 19 04:47 msam10.pfb -> /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/symbols/msam10.pfb lrwxrwxrwx 1 surge surge 55 Oct 19 04:47 msbm10.pfb -> /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/symbols/msbm10.pfb lrwxrwxrwx 1 surge surge 54 Oct 19 04:47 wasy10.pfb -> /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/hoekwater/wasy/wasy10.pfb None of the links are broken. There's every font that you pasted below (same list as what LyX 1.2.1 had) and there's even one more called wasy10.pfb So now I don't know what's wrong =) It looked like easy link fixes, but now I think the CVS links are OK. Any other ideas? BTW no problems in viewing postscript, all fonts are OK there. Just in the LyX buffer view. Darren On Thu, 2002-10-24 at 11:28, Garst R.
