Fonts for Insert -> Special Character -> Symbols

[Michael Dean Pugh]

Hello!

This is why i stressed that I am talking about the User Interface, not the document.  The documents are fine.  I want the fonts in the LyX display to be the same between computers.  More specifically, I want the same characters available for the display on all computers.

Thank you,
Mike Pugh

If you just want to view the output on a different computer, you need to embed fonts in your pdf output before sharin. A way to get around it is to print your file using the 'Cute Pdf' program with fonts embedded.

Best regards.

This is a question I have been meaning to ask for some time.  What font or fonts does LyX  use for display in the UI (not the document) when applying Insert -> Special Character -> Symbols?  I have noticed that some characters are available on my home machine that are not available on my work machine (they show up as a rectangle in the display).  I suspect is has to do with which packages and/or fonts are installed.

Thank you!
