LyX 2.4.1

[John O'Gorman]

As long term user of LyX (since its beginning) I love it.

BUT

Since installing 2.4.0 then 2.4.1 I have had a problem it took me 3 days 
to solve:

an early user on my system could not see any of the characters in a LyX 
file.

The LyX could create a usable PDF file and print that OK.

Other users had no similar problem.

The solution turned out as  follows:

1. Go to the user's home directory

2. There is a directory there called .config

3. Remove .config/LyX/lyx.conf ( by renaming it)

4. Reinvokde LyX

5. Lyx 2.4.1 now works!


Can nayone explain what might have happened and why.

I can't find anything in the help files that explain it.
