You could edit the .bst file, in your case it wouldn't be too difficult.
For example if you're using plain.bst make a local copy in the same
dir as your document. Name it myplain.bst. Then search for
FUNCTION {format.names}
In the next couple of lines you should find the text and (quotes
included). Just change that to et . Where you include the
bibliography style change plain to myplain.

Exporting to PDF
Hi all,
I've been trying to export some documents to PDF with partial success.
The instructions I used are in section 3.3.6 of the Extended Features
manual.
The first thing I did was to create ~/.dvipsrc and add the following lines:
p+ psfonts.cmz
p+ psfonts.amz
Then I tried changing the document's font to pslatex. When doing this,
the output looks good on Acrobat Reader, except for a couple of symbols
(for example the \mathscr{F} I use to denote the Fourier transform).
However, I would much prefer the standard font. So I decided to try
including \usepackage{ae,aecompl} in my preamble and using default for
the document's font. In this case, the output looks bad on Acrobat
Reader. In fact, including the \usepackage{ae,aecompl} doesn't seem to
make any difference.
What am I missing?
TIA,
Roberto
Inserting figures
Hello,
I am new to LyX, using LyX Version 1.1.6fix4 of fri, Jan 11 2002 and
have some questions about inserting figures. 1. Is it right, that it is
only possible to insert eps or ps - figures?
I draw my pictures with Star Offic 5.2. SO does not allow me to save the
drawings as Postscript, so I use the print-funktion: I change the
papersize to the size of my figure, draw it, and print it to a (ps-)
file. Ghostview shows the resulting file without problems, but when I
try to include this file in Lyx, I get the error:

Getting Bibtex to work with LyX (on XP)
Hello, I recently installed LyX using Cygwin on Windows XP. I was very impressed to see how well it worked. My only problem is that the Bibtex citations and bibliography don't work. I can insert the citation in the text in the normal way, i.e. LyX can *find* the .bib file no problem. The .dvi though just shows [?] for the citation and no bibliography. The funny thing is that if I export the .lyx file as .tex and compile it using the command line (i.e. using latex and bibtex) the .dvi file is perfect, i.e. it shows the citation and bibliography. Any clues anyone?? Thanks, Noel

You may want to look at lyxport (http://www-hep.colorado.edu/~fperez/lyxport/)
or if that's not enough, the more powerful (but which doesn't do ps/html
simultaneously) tex2pdf (http://developer.berlios.de/project/?group_id=57).
Specifically from the lyxport man page, the following may come in handy:
Make sure that the LaTeX preamble of your LyX file (or the part before
\begin{document} if you are using straight LaTeX files) contains:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{ae,aecompl}
This will guarantee that T1 encoded fonts come out looking good in the final
PDF.
Steffen (tex2pdf author) and I have been talking about a lyxport/tex2pdf merge
for a while, but we're both too busy for it. There's a chance someone new is
going to step up to the plate soon, though. So we may have a new tool for
automating all of this coming, which integrates the current abilities of both
lyxport and tex2pdf.

You may want to look at lyxport (http://www-hep.colorado.edu/~fperez/lyxport/)
or if that's not enough, the more powerful (but which doesn't do ps/html
simultaneously) tex2pdf (http://developer.berlios.de/project/?group_id=57).
Specifically from the lyxport man page, the following may come in handy:
Make sure that the LaTeX preamble of your LyX file (or the part before
\begin{document} if you are using straight LaTeX files) contains:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{ae,aecompl}
This will guarantee that T1 encoded fonts come out looking good in the final
PDF.
Steffen (tex2pdf author) and I have been talking about a lyxport/tex2pdf merge
for a while, but we're both too busy for it. There's a chance someone new is
going to step up to the plate soon, though. So we may have a new tool for
automating all of this coming, which integrates the current abilities of both
lyxport and tex2pdf.
Cheers,
