Slow Display on 1.4cvs

I'm using 1.4cvs (downloaded and compiled a few hours ago) with the Qt front-end. ATM, I'm noticing that LyX is barely keeping up with my typing, which is something I hadn't noticed on 1.3.6. Is this just my imagination, my computer, or are other people experiencing the same thing? It's not really

\line and justification

Hi, all. This is a reiteration of my previous question. Someone responded off-list that I should try \newline. Problem with this is that what I really want is -inline- 'blanks' that don't break justification. If I'm asking this question in the wrong place, then please, someone let me know where I c

I cannot address the configurability issue, but I've always used pdflatex and it's worked flawlessly. If I have PSTricks images in the document, then I use PDF4 instead of pdflatex. Try these and see if you like the results. Rich What do you mean by PDF4? Do you mean ps2pdf14? Thanks, Dav

Hello All. Maybe this is more a LaTeX-related question, but on the other hand I think the answer would be useful to many LyX users as well. I've recently came across CMAP which I though was a perfect solution to make searchable and copyable PDFs (with \usepackage{cmap}) ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/te
