Hi Gyorgy, I don't know the answer to your question, and I hope someone else can answer it, but I'll tell you what I know. I've had tremendous success putting PDF figures in LyX instead of .eps, .jpg, .png, .gif and the like. PDF figures are less likely to have the jaggies and scale better and look better. If you'd like to experiment with this, just use ps2pdf on a .eps file to make a .pdf figure, and then use that within LyX. If it turns out better than your .eps figures as they appeared in Windows LyX's PDF output, then you can do the rest of the figures. Look discerningly for jaggies (pixelation) on both acroread, paper, and the LyX environment. SteveT Steve Litt Recession Relief Package http://www.recession-relief.US
