Re: beamer, pgf and anti-aliasing
Dear all,
I am a happy user of LyX and latex-beamer. I would like to ask you all
if someone has experienced my problem:
the last week I've tried to insert a graphic logo of my university
into a presentation. The only way in which \logo works is with the
\pgfuseimage command. I work with lyx for windows and miktex.
The problem is that everytime you use a \pgfuseimage command, you lost
antialiasing. Fonts look not exactly pixelized and hard, but...
primitive, maybe, with minor but annoying deformations.
I am going to include to files, the .tex one and a zipped pdf output
for illustrating my point.
Any hint or advice?
It is really sad, because PGF is GREAT with transparencies and other
effects. On the other hand, a presentation is LIMITED in scope if you
cannot include a corporative logo in every slide. If there is a
(surely arcane) way to overrun this XOR dilemma, I would be happier
than before.
Thank you all in advance

bug in reconfigure (windows port)
I use lyx port in a windows xp. After some itchy corrections (like learn the precise version of imagemagick that works, avoiding spaces in directory names and the like), I found an almost terminal problem. Lyx worked QUITE fine -- we built a monography just with it -- but I was not able to add any more latex class to lyx using the unix procedure (add class to tetex, add .layout file to lyx, Edit/ Reconfigure. Finally today I have found that executing configure.bat and then configure in a console of windows, lyx reconfigure its latex entry (which has let me use beamer, i.e.) Do you people know if it is really a bug for windows port? I mean, I'm starting to be a lyx apostle, but if, hum, a luser has to do a lot of tricks like the one I mentioned above, it sounds to be hard to achieve conversions.
