Ah, now I think I see this distinction. I'm after the character form, as
it is for someones name.

My poor mind would melt trying to get it to work, I suspect. At the
moment, I run lyx at work in a vmware virtural machine, running on top of
NT 4.0. I could run the NT version of lyx, but then I'd lose all my nice
unix support utilities.
I think I'm the only personin the world at the moment who uses linux for
their "productivity" applications, and NT for their numerical calc :)

Indeed. Sometime I fear my ignorance is astounding.
Thanks for the help (and lyx BTW, 1.1.6 looks very good!)
