Dear Mailing List,
I do not recommend writing a lyx document with a text editor, the format isn't suited for that sort of work.
since I am using windows and
the LyX available for windows (I tried both the QT and
the Xserver version) don't display or display badly
many math fonts (like sum and etc.) and I couldnt find
any solution to this in the net.
If thats the real problem and you don't mind using a _working_ lyx, consider one of these:
1. It is possible to get lyx working well on windows, people have done it.
You may have to get some more tips from experienced people.
2. Install linux along with windows, if you have the disk space. Lyx works
well on linux.
3. If you don't want linux on your pc, do you have a cdrom? These days you can
boot a linux that is preinstalled on the CD (knoppix, or various "live linux" cd's)
and use lyx from there. Such a linux will find the lyx files on your harddisk if
you're using the fat32 filesystem. If not, store the work files on a diskette,
usb-device or CF-card. This way there's no linux system files stored on the pc, great
if the employer wants to stick to windows only.
