I checked all settings in Tools->Preferences->File Handling in a native Win7 LyX installation (version 2.1.2) but I could not find any mistake. These are the converter commands: for FIG->EPS: fig2dev -L eps $$i $$o for FIG->PDFTEX: python -tt $$s/scripts/fig2pdftex.py $$i $$o As stated before, the preview in LyX works perfectly. If I hit the shortcut key CTRL+T for PS preview I realize a command beginning with "python -tt ..." in the status bar and immediately the ghostview is launched to display the temporarily produced PS file. In LyX the path prefix starts with "$LyXDir\bin;$LyXDir\Python;$LyXDir\Python\Lib; ... ". However, if I try to generate the PDF file I always get the pdfTeX error "... .pdftex_t' not found." As stated before, in a fedora-vbox I do not experience this problem (with LyX 2.1.1). Thanks for help in advance. Jens
