Hi Xu, Can you compile other documents in lyx?
Can you please post/copy the entire log so we can see the error messages? Answers: - Yes, i can compile. if i create a simple new document (file\new) and then click on the icon view pdf, then it works. - On the contrary, when I open a slightly more sophisticated document with math formulas (note that this document has been created in lyx by a friend of mine), and click on the icon view pdf, the it doesn't work. And it appears a new window with several lines of errors and the related descriptions. I will try to summarize the main errors (they are repeated for a large number of times): - Error: FONT OML/zplm/m/it/12=zplmr7m at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found - Description: [Rudin 3.5] For any two real sequences $\{a_{n}\}$, $\{b_{n}\}$, I wasn't able to read the size data for this font, so I will ignore the font specification. [Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.] You might try inserting a different font spec; e.g., type `I\font<same font id>=<substitute font name>'. - Error Math formula deleted: Insufficient symbol fonts - Description \] Sorry, but I can't typeset math unless \textfont 2 and \scriptfont 2 and \scriptscriptfont 2 have all the \fontdimen values needed in math symbol fonts. - Description ...e right is not of the form $\infty-\infty$ . \end{problem} Sorry, but I can't typeset math unless \textfont 2 and \scriptfont 2 and \scriptscriptfont 2 have all the \fontdimen values needed in math symbol fonts. Any suggestions? Let me know if you need additional information. Thanks again.

Can you compile other documents in lyx? OK, so when you remove that part, it still doesn't work. Can you please post/copy the entire log so we can see the error messages? LyX on cd-rom would not help you any differently. Xu On Wed, Dec 7, 2011 at 9:03 PM, marcoseren...@libero.it <marcoseren...@libero.it> wrote: Hi Xu, Thanks for the email! my version of lyx is 2.0. Using texniccenter i have no issue in compiling my documents to pdf with miktex... My operating system is windows...my computer is new... I tried to follow your suggestion but it still does not work...I have to say that i am not an expert in these kind of stuffs but the issue might also be related with the italian version... do you have any other suggestions? even if lyx is open source, do you know if there is a way to get lyx in cd-rom (I am willing to pay for this) ?

Did you import your tex file into LyX? On which system was your document compilable? What is your operating system and version of LyX? These are all questions that you should have answered in your original email. It looks like you have a font problem. Have you tried changing the font? Assuming the problem is where the error suggests, try changing the font there. In math mode, to change font, click on the math toolbar (usually at the bottom) on the button that looks like a 2x2 matrix of A's. Does the document compile fine if you take out that line?
