>Description:
The latest LyX available from RedHat's is 1.5, so I built the 1.6 from pkgsrc.

It comes up quickly and nicely (without any warnings), but all fonts -- both in the menus and inside a document -- look very very wrong.

The picture here:

http://aldan.algebra.com/~mi/tmp/lyx-broken.png

should illustrate, what I mean... I tried blowing up the old ~/.lyx as well as copying one from my home FreeBSD system (where I use 1.6 as well). Nothing helped... Perhaps, this is a Qt4 misconfiguration -- not sure, what other app to try...

Please, advise. Thanks!

 Please try moving your ~/.config/LyX/ directory and restarting lyx.

 This had no effect. Yours,

 Also maybe see if /usr/pkg/qt4/bin/qtconfig has any option to help with 
 this.

 qtconfig4 comes up, but lists no font-substitutions, as expected.

 I know, it works, because I can change the style of lyx under the 
 "Appearance" tab of qtconfig.

 But I don't know, what to do about fonts. I don't need any 
 font-substitutions. Changing the default font does not seem to have any 
 effect on LyX.

 Please, advise. Thanks,

 I am not sure about this. I guess it is using wrong fontconfig or can't 
 find the fonts on Red Hat. Maybe use strace or other debugging to find 
 out if it can't find fonts or the fontconfig files.
