Hello,
I have been using the unofficial Windows port installed in
a Cygwin environment for a while.
Now I have downloaded and installed LyX 1.3.6 for Windows.
The installation of all needed components went smoothly
and OK (as far as I can tell).
But the result was disappointing in that mathematical symbols
and greek letters etc. no longer display as anything recognizable.
E.g. the symbol for a greek alfa is a trademark sign, a sum sign
is a capital P. When converted to dvi format the result is fine.
What am I missing? Please respond directly, I'm not subscribed to
the list.

You probably just need to install the BaKoMa fonts. See
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX136#installer_limitations (scroll down a
bit to the paragraph on fonts). Download the fonts, unzip them into a
temporary directory, then run the fonts applet from the Windows control
panel and tell it to install all the fonts it finds in the temporary
directory.
