Thanks Paul, it works fine because amsbsy is loaded everytime automatically. And sorry for the wrong key-binding M-z-f. It is M-c-f in an English LyX.
But I'm also interested in converting greek letters in roman-style (M-c-r). Is there also a possibility with aspecial AMS-LaTeX package? > One other note: I like to use psfonts in my documents, but I cannot get > bold Greek to work with psfonts. It works ok with default fonts. You are right, that seems to be a bug in the font-package. Greek letters are always displayed in roman-style. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul A.
