No, I mean we _do_ know. MiKTeX pdflatex is perfectly happy with
\includegraphics{\string"my dir/my picture\string".png}
The problem is that teTeX 3.0's pdflatex doesn't like that but does like
\includegraphics{\string"my dir/my picture.png\string"}
All we have to do is work out how to cope with either flavour. Presumably a
lib/configure test.

Not with Qt/Win Free. It works with the Qt non-commercial that Ruurd used,
but I'm not going to do there.

Since I'm doing the work, I'll go with my page. I'm bored of that
particular discussion.

;-) What's a lyxserver?
Off to climb Great Britain's equivalent of mountains. The highest one in
each country. Don't snigger: Ben Nevis is nearly 1400m high!
Is anywhere in Switzerland actually lower than this?
