LyX ⇒ Alphabet Shortcut Error

[MikeLee]

I installed the latest version of Lyx yesterday and figured out that alphabet shortcut got lots of mismatches. Take Greek letters as examples, which you can find in the attachment, commmands do not correspond with results. Does anybody know what is wrong? Thank you in advance!

However the compiled results are correct, which makes it more confusing. See the attached file.

I can't reproduce on Ubuntu. What OS is this on? This was with LyX 2.2.3? Do you feel like testing 2.3.0alpha1-1 to see if the problem is fixed there? You wouldn't want to use that for serious work, but if you want to test it would be good to know if you still see this. You could download the test version of 2.3.0alpha1-1 here:
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.3/

I install texlive and then Lyx 2.3.0alpha after unintalling Latex distribution and Lyx 2.2.3. The problem has not been resovled yet. No idea what might go wrong.

And forgot to mention that my OS is win10.

OK thanks for testing 2.3.0alpha1-1. You might want to uninstall that to make sure you don't accidentally use it for serious work.

Are you able to start LyX from the command line (I don't know how to do this on Windows). If so, can you start it as the following?

lyx -dbg fonts

Do you get any output in the terminal? If so, paste it here. If you can't start from command line, you can set the debug also in View > Messages Pane and then click the settings tab and go to "selected" and choose "fonts".

Following your instruction, I opened a new lyx file, went to Messages Pane and chose Font Handling selected. Then I wrote a Greek letters, for example, \alpha. Here are the messages appeared.

Thanks for the info. I looked at the output but can't see anything wrong. I suggest you write to lyx-users@lyx.org. Hopefully someone there will have an idea for what's wrong.
