Good to hear. I propose to post updated versions of qt-mt.dll in the future as the Qt/WinFree guys squash their bugs, so rendering problems will improve asymptotically. > Some minor issues: > > When installation is done the first time lyx is run I get the following > error: > "Lyx cannot find it's textclass layout files. Has to exit" or similar. Yes, I get this sometimes too. It appears that somehow the generated file takes some seconds to get "registered". If you wait twenty seconds or so before trying to launch lyx from the installer, it tends to work.

That's the checkbox in the Edit->Preferences dialog, right? We don't support spell checking by an external process because we haven't got code to communicate with it through anonymous pipes on Windows. We do support spell checking by the pspell library (part of aspell). That's compiled in; you shouldn't need to do anything to use it other than provide a dictionary file in the "expected location".

Indeed, I haven't got a dictionary installed on my machine. Maybe Michael Schmitt can comment further? Off the top of my head his email address is <michael.schmitt () teststep ! org>. I know he's being using LyX/Win 1.3.6 for months now. > Thanks for all the hard work! > Johann Thanks for the feedback. -- Angus
