now I got it. I am translating Georg's hint for entering .fig files with greek letters in Lyx, since other people might have a problem with it too. You imported the xfig-file as a grafic. But in this case the special mechanism for exchanging the text does not work. Instead, a direct .eps/.pdf is produced with the same text as in xfig (e.g. $\alpha$) If you enter the grafic via insert>file>external material and chose in the dialog type xfig, $\alpha$ is given as desired by α. You are not the first one who was fooled by it by not noticing the small difference between these two methods of including grafics. Therefore exists since more than 10 years the plan to bring together both, but nobody has so far implemented it. Thanks again, Georg. Could you tell me, whether this 'bring together both' is a task for xfig or for grafics/external material on the lyx side? Wolfgang
