hi everybody, I have used arabic support in lyx1.1.5, (redhat 6.0 ) whithout big problem. I only copied (thank you dekel ) the lyxrc.example to my lyx Home and changing the corresponding lines to the arabic support. (I used arabtex ) Now, with Lyx 1.1.6, I try do the same thing but the program does't work. I couldn't understand. I use the Redhat 7.0. I attache the bug file I would use lyx with support arabic, I avoid using MS word, I don't like it and I think it doesn't support mathematical equations??(in arabic of course ) . I only work on linux. thank you a lot best regards Abdelkader ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
