This is great, Paul-- I installed the fonts as you described and now
everything is fine. Not clear why it wasn't done by default. Later I'll
try the Texlive PPA too.
Thanks a lot--

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.
At least on Mint, there is no .../lyx folder there.
The problem is on the Lyx screen-- the output looks OK. I
installed from Liviu's ppa.
Liviu's PPA has a package named fonts-lyx that will create a folder
/usr/share/fonts/truetype (if it does not already exist) and then put
a subfolder named 'lyx' under that. In /usr/share/fonts/truetype/lyx,
you should find 11 TrueType font files (.ttf extension). If that's not
there, you just need to install the fonts-lyx package from the 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.
I get TeXLive from a different PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/texlive. (He also has
LyX distributions there, but I've been sticking with Liviu's PPA and
have no regrets.)
