Hi,

I am using kernel 2.6.7-gentoo-r6.
I am working with LyX 1.3.4 and i am trying to fix a problem, not been able to see \Gamma, \Psi in my LyX preview.
I had try to do whats in the FAQ in LyX site and it didnt work.
So far what have i done:
Quote:

1. I had download latex-xft-fonts-0.1 and placed it under /root/.fonts and under /usr/share/fonts/latex-xft-fonts.
2. I had added path /usr/share/fonts/latex-xft-fonts to my XFree86-4 file.
3. I had run fc-cache -fv when i was at both directories.

At the mean time I cant see big gamma on my LyX screan, only in the pdf file.

Do i need to do something else for adding fonts in Gentoo?

Thanks

Do you use xfs (x-font-server)? Then you need to add the fontpath to the xfs-configuration file: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config

and restart xfs
Code:
/etc/init.d/xfs restart


see 'man xfs' for more information

Hi finn,

I am not a Gentoo guro, like you can see, so when i ran fc-cache -fv, i saw that the program also looking in /root/.fonts directory so i placed the files also there.

I dont run LyX as a root.
