I have installed the free replacement for the Bakoma fonts on the
machine running LyX and on the remote RH8 box. I have the non-free
originals on the Tru64 box. If I run LyX locally on the Tru64 machine
then all is Ok. If I log into the remote machine from this Tru64 box
and run the remote LyX I get red text.
So it appears that the two sets of fonts are incompatible?
Actually, I suspect that this is not the cause of the problem. The
real cause is that the directory trees have a different structure. On
the Tru64 machine the equivalent of /home/aleem is /usr/users/aleem,
so the necessary xfonts dir is not found:
$ Adding /home/aleem/.lyx-1.3.3cvs/xfonts/ to the font path.
xset: bad font path element (#59), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
I guess that getting LyX to look for /usr/local/share/lyx/xfonts on
each machine would solve that particular nit.
