Re: latex2rtf
1) umlauts (\a") at latin-1 document didn't convert correctly, this I will And the correction for this is to append (rtf)charater codes for filter to file direct.cfg, so that it knows how to convert special charaters. (or the correct answer would be to use -l flag...) 2) EPS figures don't get into rtf-doc (at least they are not visible at MS Word). I use this: Are the eps files included automatically in the final doc ? Would it help to convert to EPSI ? I don't know that one yet. What about equations ? Are they translated ? Not very well. All special charaters like integrals are sliced away. It seemes that only the basic operations (+-...) are transferred. Oh, yes. I use latex2rtf version 1.8aa Tommi Rintala
Latex error missing \begin{document}
When I write a new article I get always the error message at the beginning
of the document:
Latex error "missing \begin{document}"
I do not have this problem with old files, although there text contents
is similar. Does anybody know how to remedy?
Thanks,
Bob

look at your latex preamble. i suppose, that there is a
command with a missing "}".

poor quality of on-screen fonts in PDFs from Lyx
I want to produce my finished Lyx document as PDF, and this looks generally straightforward. The resulting PDFs, however, while they print just fine, look terrible on screen in acroread, which matters as it will be "published" on an internal website and so is most likely to be seen using the acrobat plugin in a browser. I haven't done anything to specify any unusual fonts, so I would have thought it would use the standard set (Times, Helvetica, Courier) etc., and so should scale properly. It's like it's having to load a poorly-written font rather than use a decent one with hints etc. all set up properly. ISTR someone else having this problem but don't recall seeing an answer. I get the same results if I export as Tex and convert to PDF using pdflatex, or if I go through dvi, or if I export as Postscript and use ps2pdf. Thanks in advance... -- Rachel
Re: poor quality of on-screen fonts in PDFs from Lyx
Rachel,
I had the same problem. There are two ways that work for me by changing
settings in LyX (versions 1.1.4x, 1.1.5, 1.1.6cvs, probably earlier
versions too):
1) put
\usepackage{pslatex}
in the latex preamble (see Layout- LaTeX preamble)
or
2)
select "psfonts" in Layout - Document | fonts
After this, ps2pdf on a postscript output should be better when viewing
with Acrobat Reader, except formula's for which I did not find a
solution...yet
Do expect that the fonts are not equal with these settings (most
pronounced with helvetica ps fonts, which differ substantially from the
LateX equivalent)
Best regards
Paul

Lyx and PS export from StarOffice
Hi i am a non techie who uses the excellent LyX (1.0.4 pre 2) on a Linux 2.2.13 (Mandrake 6.1) to write my thesis. I would like to know how I could insert some StarCalc spreadsheet graphic? I tried to copy/paste that Starcalc graphic into Stardraw to eventually export it in Postscript but the result could neither be opened by Gimp nor by Ghostview :-(( I didn't find an EASY answer to that "important" (concerns many science students) question in that Lyx mailing list archive. Thanks Fred (Montpellier, F)
