Then you'll see that 1. This wiki is deprecated. Use http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/FAQ/Qt instead. 2. These fonts are deprecated. Use latex-xft-fonts instead. That aside, you should ascertain what method your system uses to display fonts. If ldd reports something including: $ ldd qt-lyx libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0x0000020000a12000) then you are using fontconfig and the 'fc-cache -fv' method described in the wiki should work. Otherwise, you are using the old 'xset' way. FWIW, the xforms version of lyx uses xset. > several times.

If xforms is working fine then $ xset -q will report a font path that includes the directory containing these latex fonts. I have the feeling that moving this directory to one side and then running 'fc-cache -fv' may be enough to sort out your problems. However, this comment is based on gut feeling having read a number of similar questions and answers to this list. If it doesn't work for you then <shrug>. If it does, then you should be able to move the directory back and xforms lyx will continue to work. If you do get things working perhaps you might add the prescription to the wiki... -- Angus
