Yup done that already... if you notice the screen dump in my original email, the font is found by lyx. It's just the error msg that I can't explain.I get an error window after each font. This did not happen with version 1.3.2. Does anyone know why the error windows appear and what could be done to stop them from appearing.
Omair,
Just an idea: have you installed latex-xft-fonts as Ruurd advises at his LyX page?
