hi bennett,
preview.sty is in my latex path. the help latex configuration excerpt
appears below. also, there is a path to preview.sty in Tools > TeX
Information and my ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.4/
configure.log file says:
+checking for package preview [preview]... yes
7.10 preview
MM Found: yes
MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/preview
MM Notes: The package preview is needed by LyX to preview LaTeX
constructs; especially for math formulas when you use the option
``Instant Preview'' in Tools->Preferences->Look and feel->Graphics.
i'm not sure what you mean by whether my preferences are set
correctly? i have instant preview on and this setting is saved so
that every time i open up a new document, i can go into LyX >
Preferences... > Look and Feel > Graphics and see Instant Preview:
On. still, there is no change in the math font when i enter a formula
so instant preview isn't working.
oddly, however, nothing related to instant preview appears in the ~/
Library/Application Support/LyX-1.4/preferences file. but i'm not
sure this matters.
any other suggestions?
thanks,
-brian

i haven't been able to get instant preview working with lyx 1.4.4
on a mac intel machine. i followed the wiki suggestions for
installing latex, and friends, through fink, but instant preview
doesn't seem to work. when i turn on instant preview, the
mathematical fonts stay the same as when instant preview is off.
i'm rather happy with all of my other lyx and latex-related
settings so i'm very reluctant to mess with an almost perfectly
functioning lyx situation. however, i was wondering if anyone else
has run into this issue or has any suggestions for trouble
shooting what is missing? if there is a simple fix, then i would
be interested in tweaking my setup
my current latex and image processing programs from fink 0.8.1.
tetex 3.0
ghostscript 8.54
imagemagick 6.3.2
Are you sure preview.sty is in your LaTeX path? (Does it show up in
Help > LaTeX Configuration?)
When you test math preview, are you sure your preferences are set
correctly?
Do you open the file to be tested *after* setting the preferences
correctly?
