Title:
  \cdot and \times appear the same in equations

Status in lyx package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
