Thirded. :-) PDF is a pretty universal way of sending formatted documents to
people; regardless of operating system they can easily install a reader if
they don't already have one. Also, LyX does produce (indirectly) very nice
PDF assuming the fonts problem is resolved, but the PDF contents generation
is a good idea too. xdvi is a bit ugly - the rendering is nice enough, but
the UI is 'orrid.
