[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#375245: lyx-qt: Can't do dvi preview of FAQ

Package: lyx-qt
Version: 1.4.1-1
Severity: minor

In lyx I select Help | FAQ.  I type ^d in the resulting document.

An error dialogue comes up.  the top panel shows (transcription, I can't copy it):
Font T1/cmr/bx/n/9=ecbx0900 at 9.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not foun
Font T1/cmr/m/it/9=ectiO900 at 9.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not foun
I'm not sure about the letter O vs the digit 0 above.  The final "d"
is missing in the original.


The bottom panel shows
 \begin{abstract}
                     
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>'.
---------------------------------------------------

The message that it will ignore the specification sounds as if it
might proceed with the display, but it does not.

In itself this isn't a big deal, but it's a bit embarrassing for the
system to fail on its own help files.  It also may be a sign of some
more general problem.
