It is normal, that different versions behave different, of course, so this should be checked first. It is also normal that there are different "package formats": a zip file might contain a "texmf-dir compatible" sub-structure, or just a bundle of files that needs to be sorted into the right places manually. Apart from this, a correctly installed package of the same version should behave similar regardless of the download site. Günter

but ... shouldn't anyone advice administrators of ftp.uniRoma2.it to correct their psnfss package? Or is it normal that the any package may be different if dowloaded from different link ?

Re: Elseartice on Lyx
Ohhh, problem solved. My packages was downloaded from ftp.uniRoma2.it and package psnfss did not contain pifont.psy !!! As I said I added pifont.psy at that package but after that I obtained the problem I said. So I deleted the package and downloaded it again from a different link: ftp.uni-erlagen.de now the package contains the file pifont.sty. After reconfigured Lyx and opened elsarticle template, when I went to view the pdf, Lyx asked me first time to update somethingh (I do not remember what) and the pdf opened wthout any problem. If I repeat the open of the template and ask for the pdf I obtain it without any problem (and without any further request to dowload somethngh). Seems that the psnfss package dowloadable from ftp.uniRoma2.it should be corrected. Thank you very much to any of you.

Elseartice on Lyx
Hello all, I am very new on Lyx (and on Latex too), I hope anyone may help me. I use Win 7, Lyx 1.6.5, MixTex 2.8. Opening the template elsearticle and trying to view the dvi (same problems if I ask for the pdf or for the ps) I always obtain this: {\Pifont{psy} } I wasn't able to read the size data for this font, so I will ignore the font specification. [Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.] You might try inserting a different font spec; e.g., type `I\font='. And the dvi does not appear. May anyone help me? Tank you very much.
