Kenward,
XeTeX requires, like PdfTeX, figures in these formats: pdf,jpeg,png. Since you
are using LyX, this conversion from eps to pdf is done for you. I suppose the
conversion is not done well enough. I would suggest you convert them yourself to
keep the vector essence.

Maybe YAML format? OTOH, the format is the same as used in unicodedata, so it could be said to be a LyX config format. If changing is really planned (before 2.0?), I'd wait with adding polyglossia-names until it's done and I know how the file should look like. Günter

I thought pdf could be a "wrapper" about an eps figure... If so, which utility is a good one?

Knowing that, does anyone have a suggestion for the transformation? I thought pdf could be a "wrapper" about an eps figure... If so, which utility is a good one? LyX itself relies upon ImageMagick's convert utility, which is as simple as: convert file.eps file.png I'm not sure how you might automate this in LyX. There must be some way to force conversion to png instead of pdf. rh

Usually .eps figures get rasterized -- I think all the way back from 1.3.x or before. I thought that was just the way LyX worked. That's why I use .pdf figures in my LyX documents -- that usually turns out very well. If you guys can figure out a way so that LyX treats .eps as a vector, that will be wonderful.
