Just wanted to let you know the TeXLive works great on my Fedora 8 system. I notice no diamage compared to tetex. In fact, if TeXLive would just use the same configuration commands (no more "texhash") I expect most people would never notice the difference.
Do my eyes deceive me? With LyX 1.5.2 and texlive-latex-2007-0.18.fc9, it appears to me that the default LyX configuration now produces GOOD QUALITY pdf output. No more sketchy looking fonts. No more work-arounds for fonts. Perhaps I accidentally fixed it in the past in my ~/,lyx, but I don't think so. pj
