39 Below you'll find six sections:
42 Some basic details about your LaTeX installation.
43 In particular, you should make sure that your version of LaTeX is recent
47 Some common fonts that LyX knows about.
48 This is rather sparse at the moment.
51 The document classes that should be standard on any LaTeX implementation.
52 This section is only here for completeness.
