Hello,
I've been successfully using LyX (currently 2.0) as a portable application together with TeXlive 2010 on Windows (XP & Vista) for quite some time. After switching to XeTeX for some documents with Opentype fonts, and only on some computers, XeTeX will not run through but immediately exit after being started by LyX. The error message of LyX is like this: 20:52:46.602: The process crashed some time after starting successfully...\..\..\lyx-2.0.0\src\support\Systemcall.cpp(238): Systemcall: 'xelatex "document.tex"' finished with exit code -1 On the same computer, the same document, just with LaTeX fonts, will successfully compile with pdftex. And, if I export the document that uses Opentype fonts from LyX to .tex and then run Xelatex manually from the console, it also compiles successfully. Also, on some computers (all with Windows), the problem does not occur at all. This is not a serious problem for me, I just wonder whether anyone has a clue what could be wrong here (in terms of configuration of the computers in question or whatever) that I could change or whether this could be a hint to some kind of esoteric "feature" in the communication of LyX with XeTeX. TIA, Sincerely, Wolfgang -- Führungskräfte leisten keine Arbeit. (D'Alembert)
