LyX and XFig: brilliant
Dear LyXers, Perhaps this would be better posted on the devel list, but I just want to give a big THANK YOU to the coders of LyX, and the feature in the latest release to allow direct insertion of XFig figures with embedded LaTeX text. Not horribly long ago, I got used to inserting the text (in XFig), using the special flag, etc. But the ability to simply shove the .fig file into LyX directly, AND have rotation and scaling work correctly is GREAT. Can you tell I'm excited? Again, thank you. LyX is one open-source project I've donated (money, if not time) to, and will happily do so in the future. Sincerely, Curtis Osterhoudt

I have a question about including xfig - pictures with math-symbols.
I tried this as described in the userguide and exported as combined
LaTeX/Postscript. I got the right output on my home computer, but here in my
office, I only see what I typed, e.g. $a_i$ and not the math-formula. What
could be the problem? xfig is version 3.2.2, lyx is 1.0.2. latex needs
\usepackage{epsfig} to run without problems, don´t ask me why (I thought xfig 3
doesn´t use epsfig). Could this be the problem?
Thanks for any answer,
Alex.

Sorry about my last post, but I found the problem:
I don´t know why, but the flag of the text was set to normal, not to
specialtext. But I started xfig with option -specialtext.
However, the problem is gone.
