This is true for many standard printers, but not all. Well, maybe I should say that you can't readily detect the differences when using most printers. However, some printers have built in fonts, different pixel ratios,margins, different ways of printing dots, etc., so a file can print differently on different printers. A common side-effect of this is having to reformat a document when printers are changed. Postscript generally does a good job of overcoming this problem by defining how the page looks inside the document. So yes, LaTeX and Lyx output will be different than something like Kwrite or Word which relies on the printer to draw the page. -- The Digital Hermit Unix and Linux Solutions http://www.digitalhermit.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
