I absolutely agree with "programmer in me". So many of the messages in the LaTeX environment are pretty unhelpfull. I can't find a .lyx file anywhere. There is a .lyx directory in my home directory that contains a number of sub-directories and other files, such as preferences, but I can't find anything with \fontscheme in it. However, I did a -- grep fontscheme ./* -- which produced nothing in my home directory but, in my working directory, produced: ./thesis5.lyx:\fontscheme default This is not a structure I recognize. Oh, maybe you meant <file name>.lyx, I was looking for some sort of hidden control file called ".lyx"? I tried less||vi||cat||grep||notepad on a lyx file and, sure enough, I got: #LyX 1.3 created this file. For more info see http://www.lyx.org/ \lyxformat 221 \textclass article \language english \inputencoding auto \fontscheme default \graphics default \paperfontsize default \papersize Default \paperpackage a4 \use_geometry 0 \use_amsmath 0 \use_natbib 0 \use_numerical_citations 0 \paperorientation portrait \secnumdepth 3 \tocdepth 3 \paragraph_separation indent \defskip medskip \quotes_language english \quotes_times 2 \papercolumns 1 \papersides 1 \paperpagestyle default \layout Standard followed by the main content. With the help of Lyx Help->Customization Section 5.4 telling me about defaults.lyx, I located defaults.lyx in my home/.lyx/templates directory but can't see how to set up the fontscheme. Well, now I tried less||vi||cat||grep||notepad on defaults.lyx and got a preamble that looks more like the preferences that I set up for my lyx file but doesn't include a /fontscheme. From Help->Customization Section 5.4, maybe I should set Document templates: in the Lyx preferences dialogue to my home/.lyx/templates directory instead of its current setting which is /usr/local/share/lyx/templates/ ?? I'm a bit confused! Thanks for your help Roger
