I don't know if I can (my only example is a rather large file, and I wouldn't want to post it publicly) but I have noticed is that dvips generates postscript files more than half a megabyte in size for something as simple as a>b. I have a *lot* of mathematical expressions in my text, so this is clearly the source of the bloat. > Well the first thing to try would be to set LyX's temporary directory to > something else. see Tools > Preferences > Paths. Does that help? If it turns out that half-meg preview files is normal (though it seems odd) then I'll try this. I'm using Lyx 2.4.1 on Fedora 23 with preview.sty version 11.89. john perry
