Where ctrl-M while in math mode used to insert \textrm{...}, it now inserts \mbox{...} (and nests mboxes if you keep using it). If you use ctrl-M to go into text mode and right-arrow to escape back to math mode, I think you will get what you ultimately intend, but with a shallower nesting depth (u

Sorry - I meant to include this third issue in my previous email. Another issue is that I no longer seem to be able to insert nested inline math in text Basically, pre-1.4.x, I was able to hit ctrl-M while editing math, which put me in text mode, and then hit ctrl-M again to insert variables. E.

Hi all, I use LyX 1.4.0 on Linux (FC4), and I noticed that the fonts produced by my LyX docs are all slightly different (uglier when displayed in, e.g., evince) than those of my LaTeX docs. I found that if I export to LaTeX and remove the line saying \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}, then the font looks "

Hi all, I have two questions. 1. How do I insert a line break in an inline math formula (C-m)? Enter and M-Enter don't work. I tried C-Enter, but this changes my math to some other math environment (I'm guessing an eqnarray). Note that this works fine in LaTeX: $a\\b$ 2. I tried setting my pref
