Can you tell which machines are not able to find the fonts? It may depend from the OS X version, for example. Is it that the same LyX bundle does not work consistently, or does it depend on how people compiled their code?

Look for addFontPath() at the beginning of src/frontends/qt2/qfont_loader.C. The 1.4.0cvs and 1.3.5cvs versions are the same AFAIK. I think the code has just be stolen from somewhere, probably apple documentation. I notice that it outputs a debug message when "-dbg font" has been specified, and two possible error messages. The first thing I would do is investigate messages in the case where fonts fail. JMarc
