[tomboy-list] Tomboy LaTeX Plugin: installing on OS X?

[Christian Reitwießner]

Dear Flip,

the dll should indeed work. Did you really type "/[ \phi /]", or was it
(is it's supposed to be) "\[ \phi \]"? If that does not work, please
start tomboy in a terminal window and see if some errors are printed.

Kind regards,
Christian Reitwießner
