I was thinking if statistics were kept on "yum install foo" downloads (not who did it) that the frequency of download would be an objective measure. Maybe that would only work if both similar programs started in extras. I gave the Chris Karakas instructions a try, but it became hard to obtain the packages or the right versions, maybe that was on Cygwin; it was harder than following Michael Gertz instuctions! I think yum or other programs like it, is the single best reason to use Linux rather than Windows. I can remember if you wanted to install a new program which would take 10 minutes, finding and installing all the dependencies could take an hour, even if they were listed beforehand and I don't think they were always listed. Maybe I should have used the word default rather than primary. My final question. I was reading about fontconfig because of installing the Bakoma fonts which are in zip format into Cygwin. (This is something easy to do in Windows, install fonts.) I read there is a dependency to freetype. The freetype page mentions there is a new May31,06 version of KDE which doesn't have security problems because it uses fontconfig without freetype. Also it mentions an rpm freetype patch package suitable for using with Cygwin's rpm package. So does yum or rpm, when it installs fonts, write to those associated .conf files (fc-cache)?

I assume you've changed the cpp parameter to something else, or perhaps it's handled fine without it. Then you should run highlight without any parameters (or the parameter that gives you everything in one file -I ) on the source code and have a look at the output. In the output you should now see a definition of \dq like the ones I told you of before to include in the preamble.

The long lines problem I mentioned was my own screwup. I was trying to cut-n-patse the .tex into an ERT box. I didn't realise I needed to use \input{file.tex} for that.

I used polish.kmap from http://www.yudit.org/download/yudit-2.7.8/mytool/kmap/ Tools->Preferences->Language->Look&feel->keyboard->Browse. After right-Alt+key I see latin letter or some command=menu opens. And Tools->Settings->Language setting->Default languge-> Polish By the way how to get "*.ispell". I tryed to install ispell and Aspell, but couldn't find file *.ispell that LyX asks for. Cheers Krzysztof
