Bug Description
Please sync lyx 1.6.7-1 (universe) from Debian testing (main)
The current version of LyX available in the Ubuntu repositories (1.6.5)
is currently obsolete. The current version (1.6.7), available from the Debian
testing branch fixes a number of bugs in addition to resolving all known
conflicts with Qt 4.6 and 4.7.
Syncing with the Debian testing version may resolve Launchpad bugs:
#378136, which appears to be due to painting and font handling errors
in Qt/LyX. All known causes of these issues were repaired in LyX 1.6.6.
#573182, which also appears to be related to Qt 4.6 and LyX incompatibilities.
After building LyX 1.6.7 in a clean 10.04 environment, I was not able to reproduce
this bug.
#588969, request for updated version.
_______
Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
The latex-xft-fonts source package can be removed and the binary
package built from LyX. This is currently how it is being handled by
Debian. This means that the package may then be synced rather
than merged.

The actual explanation for dropping Ubuntu delta can be fount on: /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ latex-xft- fonts/+ bug/618547
https:/
Trying to summarize: the standalone latex-xft-fonts, which is now in universe, should be removed (as was done in Debian), and let it be built from lyx (as is done in Debian)
This sync will also fix LP #588969
Rob: please check if the new upstream fixes any other bugs in: https:/ /bugs.edge. launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +source/ lyx/
