Hallo,

according to "Extended LyX Features" documentation I installed the 
package "dropping" from CTAN and used it this way:
   \usepackage{ae,aecompl}  %in preamble
   \usepackage{dropping}      %in preamble
   \dropping{3}{D}                 %in text
This works with latex, but gives the following errormsg with pdflatex:
   ! Undefined control sequence.
   \bigdrop ...vance \wantedheight by \ht 1\findsize
                                          {#3}{#4}\hangindent=\wd 0...
   l.109 \dropping{3}{D}

Is there a way, to overcome this problem?


Then I tried the tex-version of the above Lyx-documentation:
   \usepackage{ae,aecompl}  %in preamble
   \newfont{\tmpfont}{cmr17 scaled 2500}{\tmpfont D}
   \vspace*{-8.4ex} \hangindent=3.3em \hangafter=-3

This compiles with both latex and pdftex, but produces (due to 
ae-font?) in contrast to the Lyx-documentation a great mess.

Any help would be appreciated - thank you -
bernhard
