Well, there is nothing wrong with my TeX installation. I've been using
TeXShop to work directly in LaTeX and also to typeset LyX documents that I
have exported to LaTeX. All the fonts and utilities are available that are
supposed to be.
There were two things wrong with my LyX 1.6.5 installation, both easy to
correct once I understood what was going on.
Somehow these lines got into the preamble I've been using:
% set fonts for nicer pdf view
\IfFileExists{lmodern.sty}{\usepackage{lmodern}}{}
\fi % end if pdflatex is used
When I used pdflatex to typeset a document, these lines were substituting
Latin Modern for any fonts I was choosing in Lyx.
The second problem is that LyX was showing the Bera fonts as 'not
installed', even though they are and I can use them to typeset a document
(once I had figured out and corrected the first problem). For some reason,
LyX is not adding the correct information to the packages.lst file (which on
OS X is in ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6/), even though the
configure.log file shows that the reconfigure procedure is correctly seeing
that the Bera fonts are installed and available. So I just added a line with
the word 'bera' to the packages.lst file and the 'not installed' message
went away.

I don't know if it is a good reason, but the alternative installer shows up an annoying console window when it opens. I really dislikes it, haha. In general, I think the standalone installer is more "clean". This is why I prefer it. :-) With all respect to your contribution Uwe, this is my preference too :-) I vote for the alt-installer ;)

Re: Lyx 1.6.5 Installer
Hello. Thanks for your reply. I don't know if it is a good reason, but the alternative installer shows up an annoying console window when it opens. I really dislikes it, haha. In general, I think the standalone installer is more "clean". This is why I prefer it. :-) Regards, --- Diego Queiroz On Sat, Dec 12, 2009 at 1:00 AM, Uwe Stöhr wrote: > Diego Queiroz schrieb: > > > Someone knoes when Windows binaries for Lyx 1.6.5 will be available? >> > > (the standalone installer, not the alternative one) > > No, but the installer doesn't matter.

Re: lyx 1.6.5 + computer algebra (windows)
an expeiment - Original Message - From: "Philip A. Viton" To: Sent: Friday, December 11, 2009 9:44 PM Subject: lyx 1.6.5 + computer algebra (windows) I understand that now that lyx has implemented the server in the MS-Win edition, it should be possible to use the computer algebra feature. Can someone post (or point me to) details on how to set this up, say for Maple? I'm not sure how Lyx "knows" if you have a ca system, since it doesn't seem to enter itself into the path (also, a couple of lines in configure.py referring to maple seem to be commented out).
