Sorry for beeing not precise enough: "latex-xft-fonts" is a Debian package, not a LaTeX package and it provides the math fonts for the LyX GUI. > I can confirm the LyX gui behavior, IF, I start a document and insert > the \varPhi then it shows as a red varPhi.

Unexpected after the developers wrote that this is an issue of the on-screen font used. It does not work this way here on my Debian/testing system: \varPhi stays red even in a new document and with Use AMS. What system do you use? Is the blue Phi symbol upright or kursive? What happens in your case if you * first fill a math-box with with \varPhi ERT * then tick the Use AMS setting ERT * close and reopen the file, or ERT or blue symbol? * close lyx and reopen it with the file. ERT or blue symbol? Thanks Günter
