The appearance of my font in LyX looks like crumbled cookes. It is hard to make out an exclamation point.
I searched through the LyX archives, and found that your screen font is determined by the Lyxrc file. I also found that I could get font info if I ran 'lyx -dbg font'. I did this, and this is my output: lyx -dbg font Setting debug level to font Debugging `font' (Font handling) Find a free buffer. Using scalable font to get -urw-times-medium-r-normal--13-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 Font 'Roman, Medium, Upright, Normal, Language: English' matched by -urw-times-medium-r-normal--13-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 LyX: X11 color linen allocated for background LyX: X11 color grey40 allocated for bottom area LyX: X11 color black allocated for cursor LyX: X11 color black allocated for text Let me also add that other applications on my linux box look fine. For example, vim and KDE Word both appear fine. Abiword, however, looks just like LyX--it has that crumbled cookie look. How do I add a nice font to my lyxrc file to get the screen font to look readable? Thanks Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *[EMAIL PROTECTED]* ************************
