I think I encountered this error also, but was too lazy to report it. I never looked at the dvi, because I made a postscript version outside of lyx with a Makefile, but the lyx screen was broken. Another possibility to get this error is to open a document with a lot of figures (~ 50 and not much text in my case) and scrolling too fast to the bottom while they are converted. > If scaling the figure is the proper way to enlarge it then I need to > learn > how to do this. Since tgif produces vector graphics, both ways are suitable, but the lyx way is a bit faster and more flexible. Scaling in lyx is done by right clicking on the image and then entering the width and/or height values. You can choose between values like 3cm, 50% of the textwidth or 150% of the natural image width etc. Georg
