I was lazy and typed several pages with ordinary text for variables x,
y, and z. Later, I wanted to convert those to math, and I try to
highlight the things and hit C-m. That does create the math box, but it
does not convert the existing character to the math font. The only fix
I could find was to manually retype all the letters I wanted converted.
Does Lyx work that way on your system?
I'm running Lyx-1.3.5 with qt gui on Fedora Core 4.
ps
I tried changing font to italics, but it does not look the same as
letters in math mode.
