[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#597676: [lyx] Export to PDF requires texlive-fonts-extra package

[Brendon Higgins]

Package: lyx
Version: 1.6.7-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Hi. I noticed that you cannot export to PDF file from the File->Export menu 
unless texlive-fonts-extra is installed. Otherwise, there is no PDF output 
option listed. You don't need to be writing any special document; a new 
default article behaves the same. To get the File->Export->PDF (*) options you 
have to install texlive-fonts-extra, and then tell LyX it exists by doing a 
Tools->Reconfigure.

What's a bit weird is that you can still generate the preview PDF by clicking 
the View PDF toolbar button. This seems to work regardless of whether or not 
texlive-fonts-extra is installed. (Seems a bit suspicious to me, as if LyX 
doesn't really need texlive-fonts-extra to export to PDF, but insists on it 
anyway.)

Peace,
Brendon
