You may experiment with different fonts, as well as checking the result of drag-and-drop from the PDF. Here, it is ab'c de`f with PDF(pdflatex) and ab' de`f with PDF(ps2pdf). > What I have done as a work-around is to warn in my Makefile if a > backquote is used in the LyX document. Did you try with listings? Günter
