Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Ummm KLyX was written in a marathon session at TrollTech to demonstrate the power of the Qt widget set. much like Qtzilla. AFAIK, it has horrendous pagination problems on long documents, forgetting to print large chunks of text, and the authors don't maintain it. LyX, OTOH, works nicely though it lacks some of the bells and whistles of KLyX. Still, for sheer power, I am unable to beat the combo of emacs and LaTeX though for convenience I often use sdf and its output-any-format capability.

LyX, OTOH, works nicely though it lacks some of the bells and whistles of KLyX. I use LyX on occasion. I've noticed that sometimes if I do an image insert then later remove the image it will not completely remove the tags. This has happened on a couple occasions and required manually editing the source in vi to clear the tags. Unfortunately, I don't have a test case to show the developers. Still, for sheer power, I am unable to beat the combo of emacs and LaTeX though for convenience I often use sdf and its output-any-format capability. I do just about all my editing directly with TeX/vi, but have been playing around with Texmacs. What I'd really like is something like Quanta++ for TeX. Thanks for the feedback. I didn't realize klyx was unsupported. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com OK--loaded KLyX under 8.2 and the error you cited doesn't reproduce here, _BUT_, I have the KDE settings as follows KDE Control Center=LookNFeel=Style=Apply fonts and Colors to Non-KDE Apps (That is UNchecked, because I don't like KDE colors in my emacs) Changing that made no difference--I still have black on Peach. Usually it is possible to set the background and foreground colors with a selection in the WM or in themes. Civileme Civileme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
