Re: Poor quality in ps and pdf
It's hard to guess from your message what exactly is wrong with your output, but it likely involves the fonts selected by default. You can set up dvips to use Type 1 versions of the CM fonts in your teTeX distribution. Also, IMHO, substituting standard PS fonts like Times or Garamond further improves quality over the standard CM fonts, though you may have to find a compatible math font. Provided that you have the .pfb font files, you can use the OT1-encoded .tfm files in the teTeX distribution or (better yet), fetch LY1 (texnansi) files for any font in the Adobe Font Folio from www.yandy.com/ly1.htm. -Jim I have virtually the same setup, and I experience no output probl I want to use LyX to write technical documents. On screen everything looks alright, but when i save as ps and pdf for printing and sharing, the quality is no good. When i choose File/view postscript AND choose State/antialias in gv the quality improve, but i still cant get this quality saved. I am using SuSE 6.4, LyX 1.1.4 og TeTeX 1.0.7-56. No special setup, but straight from rpm. Anyone experienced the same/found a solution?

Update Postscript via keyboard
Is there is a simple key binding in emacs (or any other mode) that will invoke Update Postscript?

lyx2rtf?
Unfortunately, many publishers in linguistics have standardised on MSWord or RTF as interchange formats. I have had only mixed success with the existing tex2rtf filters. However, the LyX display gives a pretty good approximation of the desired output. I wonder whether it would be feasible to do an `RTF screen dump' of the partially formatted LyX display, preserving character styles, etc. It might be that XML-based editors like AbiWord are the right tool for this type of task, though it seems on the face of it that the LyX screen rendering engine does much of the work already. Just a thought \ldots -Jim Blevins -- Research Centre for English and Applied Linguistics University of Cambridgetel: +44 1223 332334 Keynes House, Trumpington St fax: +44 1223 330253 Cambridge, CB2 1QA, UK www.rceal.cam.ac.uk/

Installing 1.1.5fix1-1 under SuSE 6.4
I currently have 1.1.5-10a installed, along with teTeX, in the standard locations. However, when I try to install 1.1.5fix1-1, I get the dependency errors: missing tetex-latex and tetex-xdvi. Is there any simple way to edit the .rpm file or feed rpm the correct file locations?
