Thanks, Uwe
I guess what I want is \url or \nolinkurl, since I need the text to contain the actual link.
But no matter which option I used, I still got a different font from the default font (Sabon typeface).
I am using memoir class with \usepackage{memhfixc). Any ideas? Regards, Eran
/Insert URL/ does a fine job of typesetting the link, but it doesn't use my default typeface. How do I force it to? The problem LyX's hardcoding of the typeface: \IfFileExists{url.sty}{\usepackage{url}} {\newcommand{\url}{\texttt}} see bug 1520 http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1520
To get the right typeface use the command "\href" (this requires the package "hyperref" in the preamble). I attached an example. regards Uwe
