Hey LyX folks,
I have been using LyX for years on Windows and Linux. Now I got my
first Mac (running OS X 10.5.1) and one of the first things I
installed on it was LyX - of course.

Thanks!
2) I installed LyX 1.5.2. Works like a charm, however, there seem to
be font rendering problems with the display fonts.
Do you use a PPC oder Intel Mac? Fuzzy font rendering is a known problem
since 1.5.2, I guess it will be solved soon (it was no problem in 1.5.1
though this version was considered too slow on PPC Macs).
It is an Intel. From what I remember on the discussions, the 1.5.1
performance issue was only on PPC, so I can give the 1.5.1 a try.
a) Whenever I change the screen fonts in the preferences (typeface,
zoom, etc.) and press "Apply", the new font seems to be applied only
partly. The spacing becomes strange, sometimes only every second or
third word appears in the new font. I have to save the settings and
restart LyX for the spacing to look "right". Is this a known problem?
I can partly reproduce that effect. However, I avoid changing the
display fonts and I'm happy after all ;) - be patient, it'll surely be
fixed soon.
Well, I can perfectly live with that. After I find a good setting I
usually do never change my screen fonts.
I would highly appreciate any recommendations. Maybe there is just a
hidden setting somewhere in LyX or OS X? Or a recommended font and
zoom level?
No, unfortunately not. But you could download LyX 1.5.1 if you wish and
have very screen rendering (I got used to it by now...)
I will try that. Thanks a lot Maximilan!
Daniel
