Newbie: LyX on OS X
Hey LyX folks, I have been using LyX for years on Windows and Linux. Now I got my first Mac (running OS X 10.5.1) and one of the first things I installed on it was LyX - of course. 1) I installed TexShop 2.14 as TeX-distro. Is this the recommended LaTeX for OS X in conjunction with LyX? 2) I installed LyX 1.5.2. Works like a charm, however, there seem to be font rendering problems with the display fonts. a) Whenever I change the screen fonts in the preferences (typeface, zoom, etc.) and press Apply, the new font seems to be applied only partly. The spacing becomes strange, sometimes only every second or third word appears in the new font. I have to save the settings and restart LyX for the spacing to look right. Is this a known problem? b) In general the screen fonts look, well, ugly. There seems to go on some font smoothing that does not really work. The font-rendering is a lot better in LyX for Windows or Linux, as well as in all other OS X applications. I am using the Times, Helvetica, and Courier as screen fonts (the default). Is this a known problem? I remember reading about font rendering problems on OS X in conjunction with math typesetting, however, in my case it is just plain text. I would highly appreciate any recommendations. Maybe there is just a hidden setting somewhere in LyX or OS X? Or a recommended font and zoom level? Thanks a lot! Daniel

I have made the following in an alignat environment:
\begin{alignat}{6}
\text{maximize z } = 2 x_1 {}+{}3x_2{}+{}4x_3
\\
\text{subject to} 44 x_1 {}+{}50x_3

\llap{$x_1,x_2x_3$} \geq 0
\end{alignat}
Its possible to make the same in LyX (without typing latex code directly).
But I have a problem with the last line. I use:
\llap{$x_1,x_2x_3$}
so the result in LyX is:
\llap{\$x_{1},x_{2},x_{3}\$}
is there no way to get:
\llap{$x_1,x_2x_3$}
in an alignat block?

Re: A few other issues
Hmm, yes, I see. Well, here's a better way, perhaps, and it might even solve your problem more globally. Find the file stdclass.inc and copy it to your local LyX directory. Then change the line that says Align Block, under Style Standard, to Align Left. This may just get you exactly the result you want: Left-aligned on screen, but justified in the output. If so, and if you want to edit other layouts, then you can do the same with stdlayouts.inc and change e.g. the Quote environment. Richard Dear Richard: Wonderful! So far everything is working as you predicted. It makes the writing environment much more humane, (given whatever it is about me and some others.) I recommend giving it look to those who might think it is a matter of indifference. I have not yet tried it on the quotes via stdlayouts.inc. -Michael

No. But you can set left justification while writing and then turn it back to full justification when exporting. 2) Is there someway to force overwrite of current pdf file when using "buffer-export pdf2" without having to confirm with yes or no? I would like to only use "buffer-export pdf2" instead of "buffer-update pdf2" (so I am sure that the pdf file is always generated in the source dir), but its annoying that you have to confirm if the current pdf should be overwritten. No, not easily anyway. It could be done by defining a copier that would change the name of the exported file: Then the file LyX thought it was exporting wouldn't exist. This possibility is often requested and should probably be implemented via some sort of preference, like in Firefox: Don't warn me again.

Newbie: LyX on OS X
Hey LyX folks, I have been using LyX for years on Windows and Linux. Now I got my first Mac (running OS X 10.5.1) and one of the first things I installed on it was LyX - of course. 1) I installed TexShop 2.14 as TeX-distro. Is this the recommended LaTeX for OS X in conjunction with LyX? 2) I installed LyX 1.5.2. Works like a charm, however, there seem to be font rendering problems with the display fonts. a) Whenever I change the screen fonts in the preferences (typeface, zoom, etc.) and press "Apply", the new font seems to be applied only partly. The spacing becomes strange, sometimes only every second or third word appears in the new font. I have to save the settings and restart LyX for the spacing to look "right". Is this a known problem? b) In general the screen fonts look, well, ugly. There seems to go on some font smoothing that does not really work. The font-rendering is a lot better in LyX for Windows or Linux, as well as in all other OS X applications. I am using the Times, Helvetica, and Courier as screen fonts (the default). Is this a known problem? I remember reading about font rendering problems on OS X in conjunction with math typesetting, however, in my case it is just plain text. I would highly appreciate any recommendations. Maybe there is just a hidden setting somewhere in LyX or OS X? Or a recommended font and zoom level? Thanks a lot! Daniel

This does solve the seasickness problem beautifully, as does a microscopic screen font -- but there is the annoyance, or am I wrong?, that this has to be done for each paragraph, which promptly produces chaos. Or are you thinking of some way of turning off right justification other than through Edit-->Paragraph Settings?

using command '\llap' in alignat
I have made the following in an alignat environment:
\begin{alignat}{6}
& \text{maximize z } = & 2 x_1 & & {}+{} & & 3x_2 & & {}+{} & & 4x_3
&\\
& \text{subject to}& 44 x_1 & & & & & & {}+{} & & 50x_3
& \geq 900 \\
& & 104 x_1 & & & & & & & &
& \geq 2\\
& & x_1 & & {}+{} & & x_2 & & {}+{} & & x_3
& \geq 50 \\
& & & & & & & & & & x_3
& \geq 1000 \\
& & & & & & & & & &
\llap{$x_1,x_2x_3$} & \geq 0
\end{alignat}
Its possible to make the same in LyX (without typing latex code directly).
But I have a problem with the last line. I use:
\llap{$x_1,x_2x_3$}
so the result in LyX is:
\llap{\$x_{1},x_{2},x_{3}\$}
is there no way to get:
\llap{$x_1,x_2x_3$}
in an alignat block?
