Hi everyone,
I have tried installing lyx-1.3.4 (qt) from the package found in
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.3.4/lyx-1.3.4-2fc1_qt.i386.rpm
in a machine with Fedora Core 3test1. Everything appears to work fine
except for fonts in math mode, which do not appear. I.e., it shows
\equiv as the word "\equiv" in ERT, and it doesn't substitute for the
real symbols.
lyx -dbg fonts says something like:
---
Looking for font family msam10 ... raw: xft
alleged fi family:
raw: xft
alleged fi family:
raw: xft
alleged fi family:
FAILED :-(
---
For all fonts one can find in /usr/share/lyx/xfonts
I have tried adding these fonts both to ~/.fonts (so fontconfig and
hence qt can find them), and to the xfs search path - to no avail.
The problem with ~/.fonts is that the generated .fonts.cache-1 file
looks something like this:
---
"/home/garetxe/.fonts/eufm10.pfb" 0 1095280537
"Euler:style=Regular:slant=0:weight=100:index=0:outline=True:scalable=True:charset=
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) !!#0G!{{B% !!#6I!!K?&
:lang=fj|ho|ia|ie|io|om|so|sw|ts|xh|zu:fontversion=0"
---
so eufm10.pfb is recognized as 'Euler', but lyx doesn't look for that. I
can substitute the name there for the correct(?) values but that doesn't
fix the problem completely (although it helps) and it is an ugly hack.
I haven't tried compiling myself (downloading the necessary qt-devel
packages via dialup is a PITA), but I could do it if necessary.
BTW, thanks for lyx, I have been using it for a long time (in another
distro where it worked better :-)) and loved it.
Thanks in advance,
IÃaki
