LaTeX isn't really designed for double-spaced text. It's a typesetting 
language. You can force it to do it, but, well, things can go funny. If 
you really want more space, try 1.5 lines. That tends to work better.



Can you point us at the LaTeX magic to fiddle display math vertical
spacing in the article class?

  

The guide to all things math-mode is:

In your case, you want to see section 11.5, on vertical space.

 You can create a new layout file (modifying whichever one you currently

I never download mail to my pc, I have it sorted into folders
_on the mailserver_. So I can access mail via IMAP or web interface,
from any computer anywhere - and the lyx mailing list is still in

Of course, some ISPs/companies don't offer such

And most people can't set up their own mailserver either.

PS file, orientation and bounding box

2008-09-27 Thread Manveru
Hello,

I have a problem with Postscript file which I would like to include as
a vector graphics in LyX document. The problem I have is that
orientation of PS is landscape, but preview images shown in LyX are
portrait. This causes a lot of problems with settings of bounding box
(I have to set it up manually, as these files are exported from KiCad
and I do not want to edit them).

Additional problem, but much less related to LyX is importing SVG
files through Inkscape. Settings of bounding box for preview image
does not reflect real clipping in generated PDF file.

All is related to LyX 1.5.4 on Windows XP. Was there any improvements
in versions up to 1.5.6 which may help with two issues described
above?
