Hi Robert,

I’ve just tried that with LyX 2.4.0 and it works on my system. I’m on macOS 10.14.6 (Mojave). I’m using a fresh copy of LyX 2.4.0 to the /Applications folder.

Did you put your version of LyX into the default /Applications folder too? If not you have to fiddle with the settings for the path to LyX in Skim and you can’t get it work for more then one LyX install simultaneously.

Best regards,
Stephan

> (3) There is inconsistency on rendering the maths equations in the Lyx interface -- sometimes they will not render at all and stay in the blue editing mode colout, sometimes they will render to the black mode, but the size is not the same as the size of the fonts set in the interface. They are much smaller. On some files they render OK. Incidentally I am using the Euclid font as the font in the interface.
