This seems to happen quite frequently, so I just repost my old message about the same thing. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 10:13:37 +0300 (EEST) From: Tuukka Toivonen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Renaud MICHEL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Math symbols disapeared On Thu, 26 Jul 2001, Renaud MICHEL wrote: > Two month ago I upgraded my Mandrake 7.2 to 8.0 but didn't used LyX til now > and I saw that I have a problem : I don't see anymore the math symbols or > greek letters. I've had similar problem myself. In my case I had to remove some fonts in /etc/XF86Config (or do "locate XF86Config" if no there). Mandrake might use font server, though, which has font paths elsewhere. See "man xfs", "man XF86Config". Find where your fonts are defined, start removing them one-by-one until LyX works again. When you have found the font (path) that causes the problem, you can try to put it just last in the font list.
