I'm using lyx-1.4.3 on Fedora with kde. What is the easiest way to enter a
few special accented characters? My language and document is english, but
let's say I'd like to enter a few spanish symbols. I know I can do this
with special latex, but is there a more generic (and newbie friendly) way?

Looks like this converter isn't being used when a doc including grace
graphics is exported to pdf (using pdflatex):
\converter "agr" "pdf2" "gracebat -hardcopy -printfile $$o -hdevice PDF $$i

I get a blank pdf file for the graphic. If I run this command manually, it
works fine.

I now understand that the problems I've been seeing with graphics have
nothing to do with the 1.4.4 update, it is because of a ghostscript update,
and ghostscript is crashing in epstopdf.
I changed the eps->pdf to use ImageMagick's convert. Now I have images, but
they don't appear to be scaled

When writing documentation _describing_ code (as opposed to literal code

I'm testing an experimental texlive-2009 package for fedora f11. I had

does it know where to look.

Inserting the following in math mode

the minus appears as an binary operator rather than a unary operator on B,
so the minus is too big and the space to B is too large.
Using tex code:

Simply typing this in doesn't work. The '{' is interpreted as a literal
