landscape slides in postscript
Hi, I tried to view landscape LyX slides (FoilTeX) with ghostview, but the right part of the slide doesn't appear: the text is cut. I haven't this problem with dvips, only with gv (by Johannes Plass). Shall I use another viewer? Is it a problem with postscript? I have to do a presentation (of my thesis, as usual) and I want to use my notebook and a postscript viewer. Wich viewer is better? Aladdin? Johannes Plass? (default on RedHat) GNU ghostview? Thanks a lot Emanuele P.S.: As is said in Extended.lyx, I set "landscape" in extra option of Layout-Document menu, and nothing else. Is it correct?

I had similar problems preparing landscape foils when I wrote the FoilTeX docs in Extended. I think that's why I ended up making the dvips extra_option the default setting because it worked for me then. The landscape option seems to be more confusing than useful. I just used "dvips"+RotateFoilhead -- although I didn't mix portrait and landscape foils, nobody should. If you get a solution that works for you let me know so I can add some more info to the docs.
