Because I have to stare at it for much more than any other text I read
on the computer.

It is a matter of readability on some screens.

And why? LyX isn't WYSIWYG, so as long as the work area is readable,
why worry about its typography?

Re: LyX and MacOS upgrade to M3?

2024-04-25 Thread Eberhard W Lisse
Just get the box, install your user from backup, then reinstall MacTex
and LyX 2.3.7(.2) and you are done.

LyX is a Universal Build and works out of the box.

I got me a Mini with an M2 and maximum RAM. No drama whatsoever, other
than that it Kernel Panics 5-6 times per day and so I am awaiting the
next software upgrade (ie 14.4.2 or 14.5) and if that doesn't cure
it'll go back to the vendor.

What is your platform ? If it is Wayland on Linux it is not possible yet 
because the painting occurs on an intermediary pixmap and this kill 
subpixel aliasing.


I have a patch that can allow to avoid that, at the price of painting 
the whole screen at each update. I am not sure at this point whether the 
performance cost is acceptable.

Just get your nice new Mac (running Sonoma presumably), install the latest 
release version of LyX (2.3.7) and upgrade when 2.4 is released, which should 
be quite soon. Both should install and run flawlessly on most any Mac running 
most any reasonably recent version of MacOS.

OK, that's similar to using LanguageTool/Andtidote or some other
grammar checker via web...

It would be nice to have something more integrated with LyX!
