The problem is that Lyx uses the low res PNG conversion when I generate PDF output using pdflatex instead of SVG to EPS to PDF which would produce much nicer vector output. My version of Inkscape (from FC4 extras) does not have a direct to PDF export but, some versions do have a export to PDF feature which preserves transparency. Is there a way to control the graphics conversion process? Ideally, I'd like the SVG to EPS to PDF route or SVG direct to PDF if I install a newer inkscape. Thanks, Phil I take it you created both the converter entries listed on the Wiki? What happens if you delete the SVG-PNG converter entry (leaving SVG-EPS)? Without the second entry, I *think* LyX will do a two-stage conversion (SVG-EPS-PDF), which might be more to your liking. With a newer Inkscape, you can define a converter that goes SVG-PDF directly. /Paul

I'll have to look to see if there is an easy way to install 1.4.4 on Fedora Core 4. The newest version in FC4 extras is 1.4.3. Phil Need Mail bonding? Go to the Yahoo!
