Hi Angus, thanks for the quick answer.
2a- LyXPreview I noticed no simple "per document" way to disable the preview of equations. As I said earlier, my computer is quite old, and I prefer not to see the preview of the equations.You're right that there is no "per document" way to do this, but you can turn it on/off globally. Deselect the "Instant preview" checkbox in the Edit->Preferences dialog, Look and feel->Graphics pane.
Thanks, I did look for this, but did not find it. Kind of usual.
2b- LyXPreview (more) My screen dpi in X is 86 (87 in the other direction). I confirmed it thanks to gimp by physically measuring with a plastic ruler some distances (gimp offers a tool to calibrate the resolution). Unfortunately, LyXPreview is making the images so tiny that I cannot read the equations. The font size does not fit with the text around.I thought you didn't want these things and now you're trying to improve them ;-)
Since I could not disable them, at least I had to correct them. To be more accurate, I do not want preview of equations in a big document. It is acceptable for a smaller doocument, such as an article. However, I do not see a strong point for the preview (apart from eye-candy demonstration). Especially since the native equation display is so nice now ;). And I like the colour code (blue for equations, red for TeX, etc) in LyX. WISIWIM :) (selfish version of the WYSIWYM)
Add a line to your .lyx/preferences file:
\\preview_scale_factor 2.0
(or whatever). The default value is 0.9.
definitely something for the docs ;)
I hope these first impressions can help improving LyX (or the docs) further. I did not mean them to be a bad critic. Please do not take them as such.Feedback is the lifeblood of a project like this, so thanks!!!I really like LyX. It is why I am so sad to see that my integrals symbols look like they have been written in the MS equation editor now.Yes, this is bad and it's certainly a regression. I suspect that LyX 1.3.7 will not be needed sooner rather than later :(
Will I get the old integral style back for iint and iiint if I delete the wasy fonts and related files ? Can I correct this by editing the file called "symbol" in the share/lyx directory ? It contains a correspondance symbol -> font character
I just ask before I trash my local installation. :) Best regards, Olivier.
