I do to. They have a 3.14 package for Cygwin. But I've just read that a new version of KDE came out May31,06 3.53? so 3.14 is too old. Also they are going to make a native port using Qt4 for Windows.
There are a number of package/installation systems in Linux--perhaps as we get true Linux Standard Base-compliant we can settle those down a great deal! I have also heard good things about yum (making up for some of the rpm deficiencies); yast keeps getting better; of course Debian led the way with apt/dpkg; and others such as portage are also supposed to be excellent.
Well that Linux phrase, yet another..., reminds me of evolution wasting a bit of energy before establishing the fittest species, especially for the smaller programs. Yes, I think that if one uses the 'make sequence' on ...tar.gz files that one has to do something special to get that file into the rpm database.
Regarding the BaKoMa fonts--is there a version around in TrueType that has been encoded not to conflict with the Windows font engine? If so, that would seem to be your best out... David
Well, the Bakoma.zip file is unpacked and Control Panel->Fonts installs it neatly for the native version of LyX. I also put them into \texmf...\fonts and refresh the database. But your comment made me think that for both Win98 and WinXp running Cygwin, maybe they both need to have fontconfig run and directories updated in the /etc/fonts/local.conf with fc- cache. I think fonts are generally cross-platform. Enrico wrote: "I put the bakoma fonts in /usr/local/share/fonts/bakoma.
