Jens I have looked at the conversion script fig2pdftex.py I am not sure what the problem is, but the script seems to rely on a sufficient new version of fig2dev. You may try the command fig2dev -h This yields a few pages of help text. It should mention support for pdftex_t. If it doesn't, then your fig2dev migh be too old. Or there may be a bug so this doesn't work with windows. Do windows users use xfig much? Helge Hafting

Re: xfig drawing in LyX 2.1.0 does not work
FIG conversion to EPS and PDF uses different software. One of them might be set up wrongly. First, try Tools-Reconfigure, and restart lyx. If that did not help, Tools-Preferences, select File Handling You will find a list of converters between various file formats. You should find FIG-EPS (which works for you) and FIG-PDFTEX which doesn't. Check that the software mentioned is installed, and is available in the PATH. In my case, the converter is python -tt $$s/scripts/fig2pdftex.py $$i $$o So python must exist in the path somewhere. (Try typing python on the command line. If it fails with unknown command, then you know why it doesn't work for LyX.) Install the software. If it is installed, either fix the PATH setting, or give the full path to the converter instead of just the filename. (I.e. C:\programs\something\python ) I checked all settings in Tools-Preferences-File Handling in a native Win7 LyX installation (version 2.1.2) but I could not find any mistake.

xfig drawing in LyX 2.1.0 does not work
Hello everyone, after upgrading to LyX 2.1.0 on Win7 I realized that I cannot produce PDF output if an xfig drawing is included in the LyX document. (BUT the preview of the xfig drawing works. Strangely enough, PS output DOES work.) In a fedora-vbox I do not experience this problem. Thanks for help in advance. Kind regards Jens
