Is there any way to mangle an ascii file to tell LyX that the three
periods it finds in the imported text should be treated as ldots?
The best I've come up with is a post-importation treatment, binding
the following to a key:
command-sequence word-find-forward ...; cut; dots-insert
and then
I get much better font rendering, especially when I make
a pdf, when I set Document-Layout-Fonts: to pslatex
instead of default. I don't see a line in .lyxrc that
controls this setting. Is there an entry I can make there
that'll make this setting my default?

I'm trying to make a new document class, following the docs
from LyX 1.1.5, where in 6.2.2 it says:

called myclass.sty and it is meant to be used with report.cls
which is a standard class.
cp report.layout
I need to place an EPS image in the upper-left corner of my
document, and I need the text of that document to write over
that image as necessary. That is, the text should be unaware
that the image is there at all. I need to place the image

I just installed LyX 1.3.5 as part of an upgrade of KDE; the LyX was
actually listed in the KDE installer tool, Konstruct, which downloads
various bits of source and configs and compiles them.
I had been using LyX 1.3.2 with Qt 2.x successfully, and so far the
new LyX seems to work, except for
