Good morning,

I have been using /usr/pkgsrc/editors/lyx-qt for a while now (lyx-1.3.1, qt 
frontend).  But, after installing KDE 3.1.1 (two days ago), the math symbols 
no longer gets displayed in my papers!  Instead, I get text versions for the 
symbols.  It was working just fine without KDE or KDE3.1; only began to have 
this problem after installing KDE 3.1.1.  Any idea about this?  LyX website 
recommends installing latex-ttf fonts but I don't recall having this problem 
with KDE 3.1 or without KDE installed at all.  So it seems, it is not a 
problem with qt nor qt-frontend; but, somehow, KDE3.1.1 must have modified 
something.  Unless there's a solution, I may need to resort to deinstalling 
KDE3.1.1 and use qt-frontend lyx under other window manager.  

Other than this, KDE3.1.1 with XFree86 4.3 doesn't seem to allow you to 
disable font aliasing.  When I disable font aliasing, I get very ugly 
letters!  I've never had this problem with KDE3.1 or KDE3.1.1 with XFree86 
4.2.
  
Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
