Hi.
I'm using LyX 1.3.6 and Windows and I'm having a problem with fonts and
foiltex.
I write a simple presentation and try to preview the dvi but the dvi file
doesn't show the things that I've written.
It says (when checking document properties).
Making PK font:
C:\texmf\miktex\bin\makepk.exe --verbose ecss2074 600 600 magstep(0.0) ljfour

METAFONT failed for some reason
makepk: METAFONT failed on "ecss2074".
Loading 'cmr10' instead.
'cmr10' not loadable either
What's the problem here? How can I fix it?
This is a shot in the dark, but try running the MiKTeX Options program,
and on the General tab, Format files section, click Update Now. I ran
into a problem, after updating some MiKTeX files, where the formats were
out of date, and it caused METAFONT to stop generating fonts correctly.
HTH,
