Similar discussion went on in mid of december and a patch was applied but in my case the problem is not solved.
Do you have Redhat 8.0 ?
No, SuSE 8.0 and SuSE 8.1.
No, it was not clear to me whether this is really required or not. Now I installed these fonts with the kde fontinstall-tool (the way fonts are usually added to a SuSE system) and things improved: Greek characters are displayed correctly now, others (math symbols) remain as blue boxes (e.g. \leq).Did you install the latex ttf fonts (as described in the NEWS file) ?
I deleted the ~/.lyx directory to ensure that lyx config is restarted. The output:
checking for TeX fonts
checking [for cmex10]... no
checking [for cmmi10]... no
...
Starting other X-applications like OpenOffice show that these fonts are available (selectable from the font list). I tested the cmr10 font and got correct output for "normal" characters (e.g. abcd...) but wrong output for the symbols "<" and ">" (output is a flipped "!" and "?").
Inspecting the lyx configuration script, I found that the fonts are tested with the kpsewhich command which can't find any of my installed ttf fonts. Any idea why?
