This sounds as if there are problems with font caching. What is the
ouput of
ls -l /var/cache/fonts
# ls -l /var/cache/fonts/
total 16

Let's make this a bit simpler by removing the extra layer due to lyx.
Could you please process the following file with latex and view the
resulting dvi file with xdvi:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
test
\end{document}
I am able to view the dvi produced with xdvi without error. Is there a way
to use latex to test these font errors produced by Lyx?
