If only Linux and Windows are required, I'd recommend Inkscape. It is
much more polished and user friendly than Xfig whose UI is a bit
daunting.

Hello,
I am using LyX both on a Debian Unstable and a Mac OS X 1.4.1 system. It

Lately I have been using the lyx-qt deb from http://dpt.tuxfamily.org
and am quite grateful for it. The only problem I have is that it depends
on a deprecated version of pspell. I would like to be able to upgrade my

Hi,
I have put some brainfarts on what I think should be the underlying
principles of the ideal document processor, they can be found here:

Feel free to shoot at them, laugh at them or to come up with additional

Which is rather confusing. Does anyone have a pointer on how to solve this?
