Since I don't know any newsgroups, what would be the advantage of it to
this mailinglist, considering the content? I don't think it's a very
good idea to split up the information, because the lyx-users isn't a
high traffic list anyway ... just my thoughts.
 
Cheers, Pablo


P.S.: This is not to be meant offensive, but I'm too lazy to figure out
how newsgroups are working and I don't want use Netscape ;o)

P.S.S.: Perhaps there is a way to transform mail- to newspostings and
the other way round, perhaps this could be a solution?

Problems with printing german character

1999-01-02 Thread Pablo Lachmann

Hi,

this is the first time I'm posting on this list and I just started to use
LyX. 

My first question is related to a problem which appears when I'm using the
'ß', the equivalent to 'ss' in german language in my documents. (To see
what I mean you have to set your display to ISO 8859-1, sorry, I don't
have any idea about what this character is called in english). Lyx is
displaying it correctly, but if I wan't to see/print it as DVI or PS the
'ß' is replaced by 'SS'. Where can I change that?

As said before, I just started to use LyX/LaTeX so please bear with me.
Perhaps there are any german speaking people on this list, who can answer
my question...

Thanks,
Pablo
