Same Problem again: I installed Lyx 1.3.7 yesterday, everything worked fine, after restarting the computer I get the same problem with Lyx 1.3.7. I did not deinstall Lyx 1.3.6, hopefully this will help..
Did you use LyX 1.4.x in between the session where 1.3.7 worked and the session where it did not?
I never had font problems with 1.3.7 (nor 1.4.1, as I recall) until I installed 1.4.2. Since then, I periodically experience episodes where the math fonts go bonkers. Using the Windows font applet to delete the eight fonts in the BaKoMa4LyX zip archive, then reinstalling them, cures the problem (until the next time it recurs). I keep a copy of the BaKoMa4LyX zip file on my desktop for just this purpose.
I've tried deleting the ...\fonts subdirectory that LyX installs, but the occasional episode of font Alzheimer's still occurs. Curiously enough, I've done a binary comparison of the font files I'm deleting and the ones I'm installing, and they're identical. So it is not a case of the fonts files becoming corrupted on the hard drive. Apparently something happens in Windows's memory (something that I believe survives restarts), and reinstalling the font unravels whatever the unwanted change was.
Hope this helps. I look forward to the day that someone figures out what is going on here.
