LyX and font caching

[Michael Dean Pugh]

I hope someone can explain the problem I am having, because I am stumped.  I am creating a few new fonts with various mathematics symbols.  As a result, I periodically compile documents which use them so that I can see what the new fonts look like in context.  Some of these documents are written in LyX, others in straight LaTeX.  These fonts are .otf and in both cases, I am using XeLaTeX/XeTeX for compilation.  Here's the strange part.  Today, I noticed that the changes I had recently made to the font were not showing up in the LyX compilation.  But they are showing up in the LaTeX compilation.  What is weirder is that changes to the document itself do show up in LyX—it is the font that is not changing.  So I thought, well, something is getting cached somewhere.  It gets even weirder.  I deleted one of the fonts.  My LaTeX compilation now gives errors because it cannot find the font, but LyX still compiles—albeit displaying the document using the old version of the font.  What is getting cached, by what, and where?  I'm mystified.

Thank you,
Mike Pugh
