You have been subscribed to a public bug:

OS: Linux Mint 17 Xfce (32bit).

How to reproduce:

    1. Install LyX with `apt-get install lyx`
    2. Insert equation, type `\cdot`

Expected behaviour: 
    See a vertically centered dot.

Observed behaviour: 
    Saw a verically centered x (the times symbol). 
    When exporting to pdf, the correct symbol is shown.

---------------------------------

The issue has been previously (2008) been reported for Ubuntu in general: 
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lyx/+bug/245337?comments=all

The cause was that the required package `latex-xft-fonts` is listed only
as "recommended". In recent versions of Ubuntu, such packages should be
installed by default.

For Linux Mint 16 the homepage [1] states explicitly, that recommended
packages are no longer installed, which presumably reintroduced this
bug.
