hi again, there is another problem of which i do not know whether it is xfs-related or a lyx problem. since upgrading, lyx sometimes displays the "french" quotes as two "greater" signs, i.e. >> instead of the character lyx 1.1.2 used, which was correct. strange thing: sometimes it works, esp. after changing the display font for standard text, sometimes it does not. any idea? i am sorry, but i cannot really reprodzue this "bug". my setup: Xsun and Solaris xfs. thorsten Thorsten Mika mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hamm / Germany TM5173-RIPE
