With other wordprocessors you can highlight text with a different

First, I am not sure at all that there is a proper stable package for
doing that in LaTeX (colors are horrible in LaTeX because they are
done through \specials in the dvi/pdf).
soul.sty:
\usepackage{color,soul}
\definecolor{lightblue}{rgb}{.90,.95,1}
\sethlcolor{lightblue}
...
\hl{this is highlighted in light blue color}
This looks very easy to support and work out of the box on my system.
The background height is equal to the maximum font height; exactly what
I have in mind at LyX level. So I stand on my point, we should add a
background() member to 'Font'. That's will solve our Pixmap problem and
opens the way to supporting the soul package. Thanks for the hint Juergen.
Abdel.
