Re: Tips for entering symbols etc (was: math-mode, exponential e HOWTO)
Thanks for the info, but when I try to use \mathbb{e} for example, I get
an empty box ... no writing and it doesn't show up on the ps file ...
any packages I should use in my preamble ?
thanks
Matt

As I told you in my previous e-mail, the solution that I suggested
does not work, i.e., \mathbb{e} does not work. Try the packages
indicated as required in the second column of the table in p. 40 of
the pdf document referred.

By the way, LyX fails to display correctly (in the LyX's window)
\mathbb{e}, even when the bbold package is invoked.
no problem here with 1.3.5 and instant preview

True, but, for example, one can get the symbol referred by \mathbb{R}
in text mode, with the appropriate commands; so, I speculated...
In my case, I get red characters in math-mode.
Maybe, the reported problem occurs to me because I am not using the
default LyX fonts.
