Then you can use the extra symbols provided by AMS-LaTeX inside the math editor. Type the command, as given by AMS-LaTeX. But beware: The backslash is NOT displayed, only the command is marked red. I don't know what the exact command names are, but often they are quite simple. You could try \union, \forall, and \exists for example. But a guide to AMS-LaTeX from the web might be very helpful. Look at your nearest TeX site. This might not be the neatest solution, but I hope it will help.

Problem installing LyX
I figured I'd try here before I bug the developers about this, because I just probably forgot something really simple. I am trying to install Lux 1.1.4 currently. I have installed xForms, and have a latex installed, as well as libxpm. This is all the stuff listed on the maditory page. When I attempt to make LyX, all looks fine until the final stage of the make where it attempts to make the binary.

I'm sure I've tried this before. You have to rotate the page before the ps2pdf stage which tricks acroread-3.x. This may not work for 4.0. Doesn't acroread also have a "rotate" option in the viewer?

How about a \hfill{} instead. Insert->Special Character->HFill Or you might be able to do something with \raggedright{} but I don't know if that would work in your case unless you switched to using minipages.

Small greek letters in roman style?

fullscreen landscape foils
Hi, How do I get to show foiltex foils full screen in landscape mode on Linux/unix ? (like the PPT'eers do ;-) I use Lyx 1.3 to produce foils that uses latex to make ps which i use ghost-script-6.0 (ps2pdf) to make pdf and the acroread 4.0 to show the pdf full screen.That's great for portrait mode, but does not work with landscape. Acroread and gs show landscape on the screen rotated 90+ degrees clockwise like it would print it on the printer. Gv though shows the document in landscape with horisontal text as it should be - but it does not have the nice fullscreen-mode of acroread. Any suggestions ? Here is the ps2pdf command : gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=$outfile -c save pop -f $infile Olav

accent-circumflex in math on an arbitrary letter
