Re: Using new fonts

I'd like to try some different fonts with LyX, but if I add them to the fonts directory (from my other Windows fonts directory), LyX doesn't know they are there. The reason is that the output from LyX looks bad. I mean there is something wrong with the way the font looks in the DVI or ps file.

Re: Background patterns in Table cells?

Is there any way in LyX to 'color' a table cell's background with a grey pattern? I didn't find anything to this effect in the menu, documentation and wiki. Perhaps a good soul would be kind enough to indicate the appropriate LaTex command to use (if that's what's needed)? http://wiki.lyx.org/L

Contiguous definitions in AMS article

2006-12-07 Thread Adrian Robson
I want two successive numbered definitions (using the definition environment) in an AMS article. Lyx, however, insists on consolidating them into a single definition. If I force some standard text between the two, then everything works fine, but this is an awkward workaround. Does anyone know
