<div>Hi LyX users,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can anyone reproduce this? All I have in my
sample file is \usepackage{bbding} in the preamble,
and something like \Checkmark{} or \FiveStar{} in
the body of the file. These used to come out to
scale with the text, and now they are absolutely
enormous in the PDF. Doesn't seem to depend on
whether non-TeX fonts are used. I have LyX 2.3.3 on
Linux Mint; I think at least as recently as this
past May (2.3.2?), bbding worked fine.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> (I can produce a checkmark with \checkmark{}
from the amsmath package, so this isn't critical,
just kind of weird.)<br>

Do you consider the check mark and star in the attached
PDF huge or to scale? This was also done on Linux Mint
using LyX 2.3.3.<br>

The good news first: you're not hallucinating. Those really are
large icons.<br>
The bad news: when I compile your file, I get normal size icons.<br>
<br>
I cannot find any non-default settings in your document that could
account for what you are seeing. Grasping at straws, you might try
looking at the full LaTeX source (View > Code Preview Pane, then
select "LaTeX (pdflatex)" and "Complete Source" in the preview pane.
This is what I get:<br>

Do you see any differences at your end? For that matter, are you
using pdflatex? </div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>No, and yes--and I also tried a few different methods of PDF creation before giving up.

Last possibility: I'm using TeXLive 2018. What LaTeX system are you
using?<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I have TeX Live 2017/Debian, pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.18. Digging into it a bit more, I tried a simple TeX file, and ran into the same problem--so it wasn't really a LyX issue but a problem with my TeX installation. </div><div><br></div><div>For posterity, here's how I fixed it: first, I looked at the tex log file, which contained the following line:</div><div><br></div><div>LaTeX Font Info: Try loading font information for U+ding on input line 27.<br>(/home/.../texmf/tex/latex/bbding/Uding.fd<br>File: Uding.fd 1996/02/01 v1.0 BBding font definitions<br>)<br>LaTeX Font Info: Font shape `U/ding/m/n' will be<br>(Font) scaled to size 128.00003pt on input line 27.<br></div><div><br></div><div>It seems that my own texmf directory had an old and apparently problematic version of bbding, and since TeX looks there first, it didn't find the texlive-fonts-extra bbding that is installed elsewhere on my system.
