I tried to fix it, but it seems that in this part of the code we can't really draw circles; we can only trick the user into thinking its a little circle by drawing a short line. We could draw a polygon with many sides (I guess this is how all circles are drawn on screens?). Is there a program that outputs coordinates in the format required by the code in src/mathed/MathSupport.cpp ? Another interesting issue is that the math decorations do not zoom with the font; (because)? if they did, our approximations would look pretty rough I guess. I'm actually amazed with how well most of them work. I never realized a problem before. Scott signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Or do I have to use a tex insert: $\dot \alpha$ Click on the "frame decorations" icon in the math toolbar. See the screenshot. Does that work for you? In the LyX math preview (i.e. without instant preview), the "dot" looks more like a small line. Do you agree or does it look correct to you? Scott Yes, Scott, in the instant preview it does look like a short line, but its correct in the pdf output. Wolfgang

The dot is available in the math "decorations" panel (5th position on my setup), or the math shortcut Ctrl+, Anyway, it's supported in the LyX interface--no need for ERT. Or do I have to use a tex insert: $\dot \alpha$ Wolfgang HTH, Thanks to all for the info. Yes, it works well. It is the dashed square with a hook on top which appears after selecting the math Sigma symbol and is called Rahmenverzierung in German. Cheers, Wolfgang
