The s p a c i n g you look after is most probable the "highlight method" while kerning is most often used for a different feature (making, e.g., AV coming somewhat together). My dictionary says: gesperrt; gesperrt gedruckt :: spaced out. > A few cryptic posts I have read refer to a package called "soul", but it > does not come up when I query for "lyx" in the package manager > (using Fedora 11). soul is a LaTeX package that supports this. Spacing is, however, not directly supported by LyX. You will have to read its documentation and use ERT (raw latex code) in your document. The "natural" way for LyX support would be to write a module (modeled after semantic.module) and post it to wiki.lyx.org. Günter
