[posted and mailed] Uwe,
Interesting, I don't have M-c-f in any of my .bind files, but it works on my system. Do you know which file contains M-c-f (or M-z-f in a German LyX)? Or is it hard-coded into LyX itself? Regarding bold Roman-style Greek letters (which somehow seems to be an oxymoron), there's a tip posted at http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/ ~voss/lyx/mathstuff/mathmode.phtml#bold_2. It looks rather painful if you need more than one or two letters. I can't say I've ever tried to get upright ("Roman-style"?) Greek myself. I think that there is a package named "upgreek" at CTAN that will do it, but never having used it myself, I don't know how upgreek would work in conjunction with ambsy, or whether upgreek includes bold versions of upright lowercase Greek letters. Incidentally, there is another package (bm.sty) that comes with the LaTeX "tools" macros (macros/latex/required/tools). You include it in the preamble and use \bm{...} in place of \boldsymbol{...}. It does not seem to include upright bold lowercase Greek, but if you have a way to get upright lowercase Greek, perhaps wrapping \bm{} around that would do the job? -- Paul Uwe Stöhr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in 000b01c2b8d2$2e3f0480$fe78a8c0@uwe2:">news:000b01c2b8d2$2e3f0480$fe78a8c0@uwe2: > 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).
