What's "it"?  X server or lyx?  It is conceivable that X server dumps
core in attempt to render type1 fonts, if your machine does not have a
hardware FPU.  FPE does not implement all the 68881/2 instructions,
nor does it implement very well even some of the ones implemented.
And rendering type1 probably is floating-point bound operation...

I have hopes to completely rewrite FPE in one of those days, but it
hasn't happened for the time being.
