I'm not sure. It might have something to do with doxygen (code documentation
system for C++), or it might be related to oxygen (which has something to do
with generating/editing XML files), or it could be neither of the above.

There's a server version of LyX (documented on the wiki) that can take
commands from a program or script (or you typing in a terminal) and execute
them using LyX. The lyxclient program is, I think, the command line/terminal
client provided with LyX. I've never used the server version, so I don't
know any more than that.

This is used if you use "Title (plain)" instead of "Title". No need to
fiddle with the preamble here.

beamer plain frame for titlepage

I find I need to add

Very old, because I read it on the internet years ago as the way to do
it.

So still use it in the Latex preamble of on some document templates.
Works for me. There may be a better way of course? I just don't know it.

I don’t have  /usr/bin/texlive/2016, so I suppose you have eventually installed 
it there too in some

Try to *rename*  /usr/bin/texlive/2016 to  /usr/bin/texlive/.
If everything still works, you may remove /usr/bin/texlive/.

Re: Font degrades when zooming OUT

[Barnet Wagman]

When you say "Check Qt4 Settings", do you mean in somewhere in LyX? Or 
qt's settings?

(assuming it has settings: I've never had to deal with qt expliclty).

It appears my version of LyX (2.2.0, 6/23/2016) is using Qt5: 'Build 
Info' shows "Qt version: 5.7.0".


Might there be an advantage to trying a Qt4 version of LyX?  My system 
currently has both Qt4 and Qt5 installed.  Qt5 is the default.


It's unlikely that there's a license issue.  Unlike Debian, Arch Linux 
isn't strict about these things.

Different toolkit. Check Qt4 Settings, maybe. There is also the issue
of some Apple patents that may or may not get in the way, depending on
the distro and how packages/deps are built. Also see if things are

Fonts are from the xorg packages (xorg-server, xorg-server-utils, xorg-apps)
and Infinality.

One issue that we have is that subpixel aliasing is disabled in LyX 
WorkArea. This is a consequence of the way we draw text on the screen.


Could it be what you are experiencing ?

Re: Font degrades when zooming OUT

[Barnet Wagman]

I'm running Arch Linux with OpenBox. Other applications don't have this 
problem and anti-aliasing appears to be working.  E.g. I can zoom in and 
out in FireFox with no font degradation.


Fonts are from the xorg packages (xorg-server, xorg-server-utils, 
xorg-apps) and Infinality 
.
