Dear Lyx Experts,

Thanks very much in advance for your help.

I recently updated Lyx only to find out that I should have updated MacTex
first. I downloaded the latest MacTex and then found that the Preview
Button was greyed out. From the Lyx Users Archive, I found out how to
access in the Preferences, File Handling > File Formats; I selected Latex
(pdflatex) in the Format drop down box and then found that the option of
pdflatex was not available in either of the drop down boxes for 'With TeX
Fonts' and 'With non-tex Fonts'. I saved this page with the result that the
Preview button became operable, but when I click on it, all I get is a tab
in Safari with MathHTML, and not the beautiful PDF output that you usually
get opened up in Preview miraculously before your eyes, as has happened so
many times before.

Would greatly appreciate your assistance, as you do need the beautiful
Preview output to send to the publishers.

Best wishes,

David Forrester
