Hello,
I am using Lyx 1.3.6 on a fresh Debian testing install.
My favorite screen fonts are Helvetica, and I have them because I can see them
in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi and in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi.
These directories appear in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
<!-- Font directory list -->
<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir> <dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>
<dir>~/.fonts</dir>
I have run fc-cache -f and restarted X and everything I could think of.
But Lyx does not seem to see them. Neither does Konsole for that matter.
The above places should, I think, make your X programs capable of using the
fonts on the screen, but I think the font needs to be somewhere under
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/ for TeX to find it.
What is making you think Lyx does not see them?
I don't know about Konsole, but one thing to understand about LyX (1.3.X
anyway) is that setting Helvetica sets the san-serif font only, not the
"normal" font, you have to make your text san-serif for Helvetica to take over.
Just something that bit me.
Please help. Arial hurts my eyes.
