-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
I've been trying to fix this (known) issue. In brief, it consists of qt (when using version 3.1 compiled with fontconfig+xft2 support) not picking up the bluesky computer modern fonts (why?). Therefore the matheditor displays weird symbols (or in lyx 3.1.x cvs, the symbols' names). The lyx INSTALL etc. recommend using the BaKoMa fonts package (aka latex-ttf-fonts.tar.gz), but it has a restrictive non-commercial, no-embedded-redistribution license. Dekel Tsur made clear the problem was that the bluesky fonts have a family name of 'Computer Modern', while lyx requests family names like cmr10, cmmi10 etc. So I decided simply to edit the bluesky fonts (using pfaedit if that's important). I added the right names, converted them to truetype to make sure fontconfig picked them up, put them in /usr/share/fonts and reran fc-cache. Now I have: [EMAIL PROTECTED] danarmak $ fc-list | grep cm cmex10:style=Medium cmsy10:style=Medium cmr10:style=Medium cmmi10:style=Medium Looks ok. But, when running lyx -dbg font, I get: <snip> Family eufm10 isAvailable ?found family Eufm10 Family cmsy10 isAvailable ?found family Cmsy10 Family cmmi10 isAvailable ?found family Cmmi10 Family cmr10 isAvailable ?found family Cmr10 Family cmex10 isAvailable ?found family Cmex10 Family msam10 isAvailable ?found family Msam10 Family msbm10 isAvailable ?found family Msbm10 Family wasy10 isAvailable ?found family Wasy10 Family symbol isAvailable ?found family Symbol <snip> Looking for font family cmr10 ... got it ! <snip> Looking for font family cmmi10 ... FAILED :-( Font 'cmm, Medium, Upright, Normal, math, Emphasis Off, Underline Off, Noun Off, Language: English' matched by Luxi Sans-11.8:<snip...> I can't for the life of me figure out why it finds cmr10 but not cmmi10. fc-list displays it correctly. So does the font list in qtconfig. I even tried substituting cmr10 for cmmi10 in qtconfig - nothing happened. Weird. Does anyone know what's behind this? What should I do to debug this further? - -- Dan Armak Gentoo Linux developer (KDE) Matan, Israel Public GPG key: http://www.gentoo.org/~danarmak/danarmak-gpg-public.key -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+d2WZUI2RQ41fiVERAqPiAJ9ptrCqz5011Gk9EjSfKVeAL+135QCfZZcH tEgYrBCUeaCoGgKNfErKa5Y= =fJrg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
