preparing math exams
Hello, I wonder what do you use to prepare math exams for primary school (e.g. 5th to 8th grade) which involves drawing lines, segments, angles, polygons, circles, drwaing functions etc.? For rational numbers etc. I suppose that LateX/LyX's math-input-language is more than enough... In the past I was using LyX to prepare books, but math was not involved, but now I might have a need for it. Sincerely, Gour -- As a lamp in a windless place does not waver, so the transcendentalist, whose mind is controlled, remains always steady in his meditation on the transcendent self.

LyX (LaTeX) vs. ConTeXt

The obvious advantage of the former is that is it quite stable, LyX has, if i see properly, several developers, while, otoh, ConTeXt is mostly one-man-show, documentation is not organized well or dispersed in several parts etc. otoh, LuaTeX is heading towards MK IV (aka ConTeXt-ng) and I wonder what is the plan with LaTeX/LyX in regards to better/simpler font handling, Unicode support etc., iow. will LyX will be able to use LuaTeX as well?

Yes, there is...try to use xelatex engine instead of latex, i.e. you can
edit your document in LyX and then export to latex and run through
xelatex (until LyX provides support for XeTeX).
See http://scripts.sil.org/.
Here -

you can find some free OTF fonts, but XeTeX can use TeX fonts too.

Win32. Here is the link -

If you're using OTF fonts, all you have to do is to put the following in

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setromanfont{someOTfontnamehere}

It is packaging that takes time, and you won't get that from just using a multi-platform lib.

This would open the door that some front-ends can be developed in higher-level languages with appropriate bindings, thereby enabling users not so competent with C(++) to work on different front-ends by following API. Moreover, it could lead to better integration of those front-ends with appropriate environments (KDE, GNOME, Mac OS X, Win32).
