I agree.

By default, neither FoilTeX nor beamer explicitely use a font size in the optional arguments of \documentclass. It's not a matter of using 17pt, 25pt or whatever, but simply of using the default for a given package, independently of what you choose in Tools->Settings->Text Layout->Size. I suspect that there is a misunderstanding here. I am talking about the files that LyX constructs for the preview-latex thing, i.e., the files named "#lyxpreview.tex", not the latex file used for typesetting the final result. > >> I suspect that there is a way to output in the .log file what is > >> the height of, say, a 'x' in math mode, and use this information to > >> scale the preview to that it fits the height of a 'x' in lyx > >> default font. > > Enrico> This would definitely be the right approach, and would also > Enrico> obsolete preview_scale_factor, but I suspect that it is not > Enrico> that simple to implement... > > So ask David Kastrup about it. The necessary info is already directly obtainable from the png images. See my other post. -- Enrico
