I did a lot of experimenting last night (without success):
1. I moved all *.ttf fonts out of LyX.app, ~/Library/Fonts, and /Library/Fonts. And everything out of xfonts (*.pfb) in the LyX.app.
2. I tried shutting off these fonts with FontBook
In both cases LyX was still displaying the wrong characters. Examples are degree sign for \gamma, UK pound symbol for \times C with a slash for \cdot. I don't know where it was finding a font to display? The same pfb files do appear in the tetex tree (diddn't want to mess with that). I also have some *.dfont installed from MacDviX (CM_1.dfont, etc).
3. I ran with lyx -dbg fonts. When I started a math box it showed a bunch of text related to finding various fonts. No obvious errors. When I typed one of the faulty characters I got a message about "NOT an exact match" Is there any way to have LyX report exactly which font file it is using with the full path name?
4. I tried reinstalling LyX1.3.5.
5. I tried updmap
6. I tried "Font Cache Cleaner" a utility to force OS X to rebuild all the font caches.
I would be glad to try any specific ideas anyone has and report the results back here. Please e-mail me directly since I don't normally subscribe to the devel list.
