I found the solution accidentally through Google at the following link addressing my problem. Thank you Kornel Benko for the solution. I had no way to reply to you using my system.
A workaround could be preamble: \input{dingbat.sty} in Text (ERT) \anchor The anchor abbeared in HUGE size in LyX, but I was able to reduce this size to normal by highlighting the ERT box and using Text Style Customized, and then selecting the smallest font size available: "tiny". This reduced the size of the anchor to normal size in my text. So this workaround completely fixed my problem, thanks to Kornel Benko. https://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg105363.html -- View this message in context: http://lyx.475766.n2.nabble.com/My-created-My-created-vector-graphics-symbol-inputs-to-LyX-but-does-not-export-to-PDF-XeTex-tp7580348p7580352.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
