 The point is that I'd like to see these effects not only in LyX itself,

I recommend using the LaTeX package isomath
(http://www.ctan.org/pkg/isomath):

Insert \usepackage{isomath} in DocumentSettingsLaTeX Preamble,
then you can use the macros:

 1) Italic
 $ a - \omega$ $   % italic is the default in math-mode
 2) Bold
 $ \mathbf{a} - \mathbf{\omega}} $ % upright bold
 3) Italic+Bold
 $ \mathbfit{a} - \mathbfit{\omega}}
 
or use semantic markup:
 
 The following commands set the argument in an ISO-conforming math alphabet:

\vectorsym, \matrixsym  bold italic for Greek and Latin letters,
bold upright for numbers


See also the full documentation at
http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/isomath/isomath.html

Optionally redefine the standard vector macro \vec:

  \renewcommand{\vec}{\vectorsym}

You can also make this a math-macro, to have a matching look in LyX.

Whenever your ref disappear, the first suspicion is that biber/biber cannot
find the bib file. The second is  that bibtex/biber themselves have
disappeared (i.e. lyx cannot find them).
Have you checked their log (DocumentLaTeX Log, then Bibtex from the
drop down menu)?  What does it say?

Problem with LaTeX import and svjour3

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Hi!

I seem to be unable to import a \documentclass{svjour3} LaTeX document into 
LyX. The tex2lyx command tells me that:


Cannot read layout file `'.
Error reading `'
(Check `svjour3')
Check your installation and try Options/Reconfigure...
Error: Could not read layout file for textclass svjour3.

However, I am able to compile the LaTeX document using pdflatex without 
problems, and I have used Option - Reconfigure in LyX several times. In 
addition, when starting a new LyX document, I can without any problems select 
the article (Springer svjour3/global) document class within the LyX document 
options. Exporting such a LyX document results in a LaTeX files using 
\documentclass{svjour3}. This LaTeX files cannot be imported back into LyX due 
to the error mentioned above...


What am I missing? :-)

I'm using 2.0.5 on Debian Sid, but also had the same problem with 2.0.3 on the 
same OS.


Best regards
