Hi,
if I type the tex code (for instance) for an unit of measurement 'meter

lyx (the frac was created via the mathematical menue) it seems correct,
the dvi is okay. But if I leave lyx, start it again and load the saved
lyx file, then the roman font information is lost. 'm' and 's' are
considered as variables :-(
try in lyx-mathmode alt-M-m for writing in textmode for "m" and "s" or
$\frac{\textrm{m}}{\textrm{s}}$in text-mathode, which is just the
same
Unfortunately this is the wrong approach, at least when using computer
modern fonts for math typesetting. Try to press M-c r (which is the
english mapping for font-roman, german users which use de_menus.bind
should press M-z r), this gives you a \mathrm encapsulation for the
letters typed afterwards. Any "math" operator switches the font back, so
check twice if your letters m and s are "upright" and not "italics".
On the other hand, if you type a dimension within your floating text,
you should use the same font as in the text itself. Here the
text-mathmode might be a good choice.
Or use \usepackage{mathptm} (or {mathptmx}) to use Times as the math
font. Then your measurements should look the same as the rest
(disregarding \mathrm or \textrm).
