I am sure that this topic was discussed very often in the list. The problem is in my opinion *very* annoying and IMHO not necessary. Is it possible to put any of the good hints you can find after a great search on a really *central* place?
You can find nothing in Tipps and Tricks IMHO. I wonder why this really disgusting prob still exists. I tried to use LyX 1.3.2 from SuSE 9.0, after I found that LyX 1.3.3 has greatest troubles saving files when you have a table in it. It destroys the *whole* file (I could reproduce it as often as I wanted). Now I am back to LyX 1.3.2, installed latex-xft-fonts-0.1.1.tar.gz in $HOME/.fonts and ran fc-cache -fv. It succeeded, but no mathematical symbol is displayed. Lyx is such a great program. I cannot understand why distributors like SuSE do not take any care of it.
