Lyx 1.5.5 with Mac OS X 10.3.9

Hi all, Shouldn't using 100% textwidth in a minipage align the minipage box with the page margins? A simple LyX Note/framed aligns properly to the page margins or am I doing something wrong. I've attached a simple example, along with a picture showing the minipage box extending into the margin.

Tom Schlangen, If you are using MiKTeX (which is most likely), then you can use eps2eps with -dNOCACHE option like this: eps2eps -dNOCACHE input.eps output.eps This will convert all the fonts to outlines. If you don't want that, then a better option is to use ps2eps on the link http://www.tm.uka.de
