Hi, I have just installed LyX through Cygwin on my Windows XP system. When in math mode, I can type \frac and then press SPACE I will get the fraction symbol. Also it works for the \sqrt symbol. However, all the Greek letters are not displayed. For example, when I type in \alpha, it just returns "alpha" in the box, not the symbol. I can only see the symbol after I export my document to the pdf format.
On the other hand, for the LyX under the Suse10.2 system on my work computer, all Greek terms appear immediately after I type in the corresponding latex code. Is this just a problem for the Windows version (through cygwin) ? Thanks a lot for your help, Zhi btw: I also installed texmacs through cygwin on my XP system. texamcs is able to accept latex input in its math mode, and display the equations immediately. However, as texmacs is not a latex frontend, it only "simulates" the latex functionality, and the equations it gives are not good as real latex ones...
