John,

  Perhaps you meant that your LyX version is 1.3.4. That's very old. Get the
1.4.1 version; there may well be a ready-to-install version for your flavor
of linux distribution.


Here's my rank-beginner's question: How do I get the text I'm typing to
show spaces and punctuation marks?

  If you press the space bar you should see spaces between words. If you
press the punctuation key (period, comma, question mark, semi-colon, etc.)
you should see that, too.

I'm following the Tutorial, and only seeing Whynospacesinmytestfile?

  What do you have set in preferences for the display font?
