Je ne te comprends pas. > - it could be OK even with perl non downloaded IMHO Agreed. Maybe we could modify the header to: Perl If you plan on using reLyX to convert LaTeX documents to LyX ones, then you should install Perl (www.perl.com). However, tex2lyx (http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/LatexToLyx) is far more powerful and, if you use it, you won't need Perl at all. > - I did not get the licence in French... should be > I guess from teh first message in french.nsh I'd just leave it in English.

Any clue about this ? I haven't done anything about fonts at all. I think that I'll just repeat the advice elsewhere on the Windows pages of the wiki on where to get them from and how to install them properly. > I may tell more when I get the large miktex, my report uses lm, I > can'y output the dvi/ps/pdf. I use MikTeX and lm without problems. If your report contains references to external files and if these "file paths contain spaces" then you'll need to clean the dvi file. See http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/FilesWithSpecialChars . But this package is supposed to do that automatically... > Regards Angus
