Hi John, > What lyx version ? What distro ? What are your font settings in your > prefs ?
Lyx 1.3.2 compiled with gcc 3.3 using Qt 3.1.2 also compiled with gcc 3.3. the source was patched with Johnathan Burchill's adaptation of your Change Tracking patch. I'm running Debian PPC on an ibook. Font settings from $HOME/.lyx/preferences: \screen_font_roman "Bitstream Charter" \screen_font_roman_foundry "Xft" \screen_font_sans "Bitstream Charter" \screen_font_sans_foundry "Xft" \screen_font_typewriter "Courier" \screen_font_typewriter_foundry "Bitstream" I tried changing the fonts to Bookman, Cent. Sch.Book. and now everything looks fine.. incompatibility with Bitstream Charter maybe? Or something to do with xft? > What is the output of fc-cache -fv ?
