Typewriter Cancel Use Postscript Fonts If I click on Use Postscript Fonts it jumps back to the Font Menu so that is of no value if I click on Default, the submenu box dissappears, Same with Roman.. exporting as either eps or .fig with Ps/LaTeX (both parts), inserting it as eps in Lyx or as File>External Material, XFig template in Lyx does still not give the desired greek alpha.
