Re: tilde does not show in equations
Hello, Paul E. Johnson wrote: I use LyX 1.3.2 with the qt gui on RedHat 9. I typed a paper and in the math equations I used the tilde from the keyboard.

I was embarrassed/frustrated to learn during a presentation that the tildes did not appear in the printed output (or dvi) for that matter. The tilde does appear in output for regular text, just not in equations. Since then, I have learned that there is a work around. As far as I know, ~ is a special character in LaTeX. Lyx automaticaly substitutes ~ for the proper code that prints ~ in text mode, but not in math mode. If you want the symbol to appear in an equation you need to enter \sim or equivalently use the math panel. The problem, in my opinion, is the wrong color of the symbol. It appears black in LyX's math mode, but should appear red (since it is latex code). I've sent a feature request about this (bug #590) some time ago. Amir.

tilde does not show in equations
I use LyX 1.3.2 with the qt gui on RedHat 9. I typed a paper and in the math equations I used the tilde from the keyboard. I mean, I used the tilde you get by hitting shift and pressing the key that says ~. It is above the TAB on a US keyboard. I was embarrassed/frustrated to learn during a presentation that the tildes did not appear in the printed output (or dvi) for that matter. The tilde does appear in output for regular text, just not in equations. Since then, I have learned that there is a work around. The tilde in the Math panel does show in dvi and it does print out. It is a more curvy tilde, but clearly it is just about the same symbol. Can you say what caused this? Is it fonts? Maybe I should install TeTex 2? Are there other characters that will look fine inside lyx but won't print on paper? To me this is a significant issue because I'm not accustomed to have to check output character-by-character when a document looks right on the screen and it prints without any apparent errors. -- Paul E.

Re: tilde does not show in equations
keyboard. I mean, I used the tilde you get by hitting shift and pressing the key that says ~. It is above the TAB on a US keyboard. Curious.. how did you manage to get the tilde using the keyboard to show up above the character you wanted the tilde on? I tried but the closest I could get was to use superscript but then it is slightly shifted to the right... Can you say what caused this? Is it fonts? Maybe I should install TeTex 2? tilde in latex is the command \tilde which can be obtained using \tilde in ERT within LyX, or by using the Math panel or a shortcut - M-m-Shift- .. so I'm guessing that latex simply ignored the regular ~ .. nirmal
