    Hi, I'm running testing. I am having trouble with creating PDFs with
    embedded fonts. (I'm generating them from LyX and LaTeX sources.) The
    process worked before an apt-upgrade I did a week ago.

    I'm still investigating; I think it's an issue with ghostscript, or
    perhaps dvips or ps2pdf. In the meantime, has anyone else had this
    problem? If so please post about it - the extra data points will help.
    Thanks.

    PS: When I start the LyX editor, I get the following error messages.
    Clues! Based on them, can anyone suggest what may be good for me to
    look at?

    | jashenki% lyx ia-lulu-print.lyx
    | xset: bad font path element (#70), possible causes are:
    | Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
    | Directory missing fonts.dir
    | Incorrect font server address or syntax
    | Unable to add font path.
