Contact the developers off list and find out what they (or one of them) need in hardware. Or pay for the Apple developer license so they can sign the sucker. el On 16/12/2022 19:17, Paul A.

Is it possible to make an unrestricted donation via PayPal.

Donations via bank transfer?
Hi, I consider LyX to be a great tool. I'd like to donate some money to the project. Is there any bank account to wich I can do a wire transfer? It would be good if this information was available in the website, as I don't want to use PayPal. Leandro

On a realted topic, I have this strange bug with mozilla and firefox that strings containing diacritical characters just do not display (for example names of people in bugzilla.lyx.org) or Lars' name in the present case. What is interested is that I can see the part of the name without accents by selecting the blank string I have. It is obviously an encoding problem of some sort, but I wonder whether it is on my side. Actually, is there a reason why firefox reports the LyX pages as UTF-8, whereas they are typed in iso8859-1?

I'm going there in February, and while it might be imagineable for me to go there again in late 2005, I'd rather not to. I mean if people are worked up for going to Poland then sure I can stand by my word, but if there are other equally good places then I'd rather see the meeting take place in another equally good place :). Heck, if you are all very very worked up for going to Poland *and* are willing to find cheap online fares (that I could afford [TM] :) from Columbus, OH (CMH) to Poznan, PL (POZ) sometime late 2005, then why not. Will make my life easier, or rather my wife's. I bet she likes spending time with our now 6-month daughter rather than hunting fares online. I doubt there will be anything reasonable in the summer, and I want to have a vacation here in the U.S. this summer anyway. Maybe October would be good. Then I could go there for a say 7 days and make it happen. Anyway as soon as I have the tickets the decision will be final, given a blessing from my wife ;] Maybe i just need some cheerleading, I don't know. I'm lazy towards anything "non-critical" these days. That's what sleeping 5-6 hours a day everyday makes you :) Cheers, Kuba Ober
