Thank you for the extensive list of programs for testing purposes. For reference, evince displays the PDF you sent me just fine. When I ran dvips on the LyX-generated DVI I received the following useful error: <quote> dvips: Unknown keyword (project/latex/"/radial_impulse_latex.eps...) in \special will be ignored dvips: Could not find figure file /home/jonathan/courses/mae521/final; continuing. Note that an absolute path or a relative path with .. are denied in -R2 mode. ] </quote> /me jumps up and down screaming. Yes, this means that something in my LaTeX stack doesn't work well with whitespace in directory names (one of the parents of the working directory is "final project"). After renaming that folder with an underscore in the space's place, we have the following status: - Postscript output from LyX works fine and looks good. - PDF output from LyX works fine. The vertical text has an oddly broken appearance, but that could be a rendering bug. - In the DVI output, the y-axis label is not rotated 90 deg, it is horizontal when viewed with xdvi. However, after conversion to .ps the file looks good. Since the latex produced by lyx only uses relative path names, I don't think that the error is in Lyx - it is in some program distributed with texlive. Thanks for the help. -Jonathan
