Hi. I have an issue with previewing EPS files. I've seen in the list's
archives similar problems, but I think I'm missing something. I have
an EPS diagram generated by Metapost from a Dia diagram. When I
include the generated EPS image, the document is generated correctly
by latex + dvipdf or latex + dvips + ps2pdf (but not by pdflatex.) Yet
I get the typical "Unable to convert to loadable format" in the LyX
preview. What is strange is that I do have the converter from
Imagemagick and epstopdf installed. When I run these I get an error
from ghostscript (below.) Both seem to complain about cmmi10, but I
don't know what this is: a missing font? If so, why doesn't latex
complain about it? What can I do about it?

By the way, imagemagick's converter gives me this error: "convert:
Postscript delegate failed `ex1v2.eps': No such file or directory."
but the file is there...

Thanks

PS: I'm running LyX 1.5.3 on ubuntu.
