Couldn't load font: -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-35-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 Using fixed... Looking in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/*/fonts.dir one finds that indeed those two font styles are not in the standard distribution. The questions that then come to mind are: 1. Why then would the authors of Lyx use them? 2. And since they do where did they get them? I'm running Lyx-stable, FreeBSD-current and XFree86 3.2. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts contains: 100dpi 75dpi PEX misc Thanks for your help, -- Brian Litzinger brian@mpress.com
