As I already said: we will welcome developers willing to participate in making dvipng support more functionality. I am currently trying to manage integrating it into preview-latex; you will pardon me if my priorities for concentrating on doing LyX-related work on it by myself are currently quite low. This is GPLed software, and LyX has orders of magnitudes more developers than we have, we are really working hard enough just to keep up with developing the stuff for own own use. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
