Yes, I am an old LaTeX/Lyx user. In fact, I wish Scribus could
import Lyx files. <br>
BTW-- I find that the font quality of the resulting pdf is not
great, unless I use the EXPERIMENTAL feature of embedding pdf &
eps. <br>

For formulas I recommend the TeX exit via Render Frames. That
software has been under development since the 1970's, with math
formulae as a point of emphasis.
The Greek letters used in mathematics should be accessible
through TeX also in math mode, such as \alpha, \beta, \gamma etc. for
lower case and 11 characters in upper case such as \Gamma \Delta etc.
See any book on TeX or LaTeX for details of math mode. The Render
Frames exit uses LaTeX but math formulae are common across all the
forms of TeX. Using TeX you can create either a stand-alone formula
or one in-line with other text.
