Hi... I have a few questions related to spacing: 1. What does one blank line correspond to in terms of pt, sp, in, cm, ex, em or any of the other options that Latex/LyX provides? (I'm guessing this mapping will be different for different default font sizes..) I looked at article.cls and some

Do you the latex-xft-fonts package installed? Yes I have. To be sure, I uninstalled and re-installed it: no change :-( I vaguely remember something like this happening a while back.. are you using Qt? Try changing the Screen Fonts (at least the top two of them) in Edit-Preferences-Look and

Hi Rich, As an aside, is there a place in some documentation where the use of each little blue box in math mode is explained? That I've not seen and it would probably help me with learning new math mode entry tasks. Sounds like you got hold of some documentation already.. in this situation,

Conversion word - latex works quite well (far better than wvClaenLaTeX) if you use Staroffice/OpenOffice.Org to convert from word to OpenOffice.org Writer format and then use writer2latex (see http://www.hj-gym.dk/~hj/writer2latex/) to convert to LaTeX. I even got formulas right. Although my

What I did, when in the right-side box, was to select the regular text mode from the text button menu on the math panel, then use ctrl-space to space the words. Selecting normal text mode from the math panel is the same as Ctrl-M while in the math mode. In either case, you don't need to do a

this doesn't looks good, when A is a kind of variable and s'hould be in italic mode. \mathaccent`~A is the better way. By trial-and-error I worked it out. I need a combination of spaces and right-arrows (or up arrows) to get back out of \textmf mode. Very slow and -- for me -- highly error
