I've looked at it a few times. Just tried it again. A few issues.
- What happened to Klyx? The homepage is 404
http://www.lyx.org/~ettrich/klyx.html, and its parent suggest it
won't come back any time soon http://www.lyx.org/~ettrich/
(K'mon, people:
http://kmself.home.netcom.com/Linux/FAQs/backups.html).
It's completly 404 in the Debian packaging system.
- Is there *any* way to modify the menu fonts in Lyx? I far prefer
'fixed' in everything, have been gently clobbering Gtk, GNOME, and
KDE apps to fall into step. Lyx is apparently not based on Xt, so X
resources aren't respected.
Hmmm...from Freshmeat, there's a download page with a klyx ftp site
including a DEB. Interesting.
My inclination is to stick with emacs and sgmltools for LaTeX editing.
I haven't done much LaTeX, but this has worked quite well for DocBook
tasks.
