LyX 1.4.0-pre3 on MacOSX 10.4.3 generally works excellent. However,
there are some aspects that I believe could be improved (I have used
standard settings):
- TeX shortcuts (i.e. \alpha or \over) do not work in the formula
environment
- "New from Template..." gives a Open dialogue in the /Applications
directory. Templates are in the (hidden) LyX-package and difficult to
access from this Open-dialogue
- Window settings are not preserved between sessions
- In some cases (for example an italic N, a large Delta, but not for
example for a W) formula-symbols appear as lowered when instant
preview is used. They print fine though.
- Using the cv-template and headings in the Bibliography-section
causes extra lines to be inserted. See http://homepage.mac.com/anek/
Download/cv.pdf for an example (this may perhaps be a template/LaTex-
problem).
- When a template is not found and substituted by the default
template the text is marked by a blue underline (this may of course
be intentional)
Of these only the first two are, in my opinion, major problems. So in
conclusion: a great job, I look forward to the "official" release.
