Thank you all for your speedy responses.

I suspect that Pavel has fingered it-- I don't see any LYX folder in the /usr/share/fonts folder.  The problem is on the Lyx screen-- the output looks OK.  I installed from Liviu's ppa.  It is likely, in addition, that my TexLive installation is at fault-- I installed TL from the Mint/Ubuntu repositories, rather than from the VERY CONFUSED Texlive site.  The disappointing result is that tlmgr does not work right, or not at all.

Yours,

Ehud Kaplan

I am sure I am doing something REALLY silly, but my Lyx (2.3.2, running

Instead, it shows some other symbols (O with an accent for integral,

Wrong font or wrong font encoding.

Latex works fine-- if I use ERT in Lyx
or Texworks without Lyx everything is correct, but not if I Insert an
equation into Lyx.
Is this on screen or in the output?

Where did I screw up?
Hard to tell without more info:

* if it is on screen: what is your GUI font?

* if it is in the output, give a minimal example (very samll lyx file
   that shows the problem).
Also, try to export the example to LaTeX, look for differences between
   ERT and math-inset.
