That would be a bug in MikTeX. subscript.sty is meant to be used by other packages - How could that be done if it is not avilable? > I provide LyX for Windows as one-click instalation.

LyX installs other files that should be visible by TeX (e.g. lyxchess.sty). Is adding one additional file really more effort than putting it into the installer archive and adding one line in the install script? > In principle yes.

I would really prefer a packaging fix, because the bug is a packaging bug (of MiKTeX), but if you insist I can implement a fallback (using the package if available, else provide the command). What do others think? Georg
