You can make it into an adult EPS file by adding command

   prologues:=1;


 to the begin of the Metapost source code.


Ok, I see.  Thank you for the help. However, do you think that other 
workaround could be found? I didn't want to use this workaround because 
i want to use math fonts at the text in the metapost files, in this way 
I can produce both ps and pdf output formats with the same math fonts 
than the text. Please could you have a look at the following resulting 
postscript file

http://www.iit.upco.es/~oscar/download/foo.ps

to see what I mean. The first figure is generated using prologues:=1; 
and the second one doesn't have the prologues:=1; In the first figure 
the \lambda is missing in the ylabel and the text of labels are text 
fonts. However in the second one, all labels are math fonts. I really 
need this feature of metapost files.


   Have a nice day,

  Matej



Once again thank you for your kind reply

(cygwin 1.3.17-1, winnt, miktex 2.2, lyx 1.2.3). I'm not sure what the 
output of \mathtt{} should have been. Is it supposed to be a math alphabet
command to create true-type font text inside a formula? Might be a good
idea to ask Claus Hentschel.

I've tried to port nasty code to cygwin before and was plagued by runtime
bugs which I couldn't track down at the time, and eventually gave up.

lyx 1.3pre2 does not display oe and euro symbol

[Nabil Hathout]

Hello,

I would like to switch to lyx 1.3pre2 but it does not allow me to type oe
(AltGr + S + g) and euro (AltGr + e) symbols.  This was possible in lyx
1.2.X. How could I do so ? Is the answer in the documentation ?

regards,

Re: maths fonts in FoilTex

[David Norris]

Dear Paul,

Having just found 10 mins to play around in response to your recent 
sugestions the situation can be summarised as:
1. \mathbf etc no longer work in maths mode.
2. for normal text everything works ok from the maths panel
3. for Greek text the maths panel will not produce bold text
4. \bm works in maths mode and will give bold Greek characters
5. the appearance of some normal bold letters (eg 'a') is different 
depending on whether bm of the maths panel is used.
6. it is not necessary with FoilTex to explicitly add \usepackage{bm} or 
\usepackage{amsbsy}. It is also possible to use \boldsymbol in maths 
mode and the output (as far as I can see) is the same as for \bm.

Best wishes,

David

problem with dcolumn

[Dipl.-Ing. Robert Sauerbrey]

Hi there!

I have a rather strange problem with the package dcolumn, which I could 
only track down after some frustrating hours of work. It´s no problem to 
correctly align the values on the decimal point in the middle of the 
column and view the result with Acrobat Reader AS LONG as the font size 
 remains on normal. If I change this to an arbitrarily chosen size, 
e.g. big or small, I get a pretty amount of errors while trying to 
convert to PDF.

For example I get something like this:

missing } inserted

{footnotesize 104.1}

I have no ideas left, what might be wrong (sigh). I´m running Lyx 1.2.2 
  on Windows XP SP1. I´ve added an example file which demontrates this 
problem. Font size is on the default setting normal at the moment, but 
if changed, the errors start coming in low.

Thanks in advance,

Robert

foils and algorithms

[Raphael Clifford]

Hi,
I am trying to prepar comp. sci. lectures using lyx 1.2.1.  I started by
using foiltex simply because lyx seems to support it.  However I can't
work out how to do some simple things.

1) How can I use the algo package to typeset algorithms in my slides?  I
downloaded the algo 0.3 tar ball and installed it fine but I have no
idea how you can use it with foiltex.
2) How do I set different font sizes on different foils?

Cheers,
Raphael

Looks like the columntype you define only understands numbers, but not
{\huge 100.2}. I've never used the dcolumn package, though.

If you want the whole table as huge, you could simply put \huge in ERT in
front of the table.

PS: This is not exactly a LyX problem, maybe better ask in comp.text.tex
or similar.

Error converting to loadable format

[Luis Angel Fernndez Cuadrado]

Hi all,

I'm faced to a mistery. I have 2 Linux systems, one at work and the other at 
home. Both are SuSE 8.0 and both have Ghostscript 6.53, xforms 0.89 and 
ImageMagick 5.4.2. In both I have compiled and installed LyX 1.2.2 from the 
sources. In both I can see included .jpg figures. However, in the one at work 
I can see the included .eps figures while in the one at home I constantly get 
'Error converting to loadable format' and the figure won't display in LyX.

Which puzzles me most is that recently I installed LyX version 1.3.0pre2 with 
the qt frontend (which, by the way, looks great and has compiled and it's 
been working so far without hassle) and the same thing happens: I can see the 
.eps's in the system at work but not in the system at home.

I'd like to hear suggestions so as to what to check and get the damm thing 
working.

Thanks.

2. The links are pointing to files that actually exists in my

Using space in lieu of braces also works for \mathtt.

1.2.3 and 1.3.0pre2 debs

[Nicolas Boos]

Hello,

I've created two LyX packages for Debian 3.0 (Woody). See :

(you can use a deb-src line for sources)

Any comments or suggestions - in private please - are welcomed.

lyx 1.3pre2 does not display oe and euro symbol

[Nabil Hathout]

In fact, the problem exists only with the Qt front-end.  It seems (-dbg 512)
that the font encoding is guessed from the language value and that the ones
associated with Français are either iso8859-1 and iso10646-1.  I have added
the relevant encoding variables in the preferences but it seems they are not used.

regards,

--Nabil

This will not affect your ability to *enter* the symbols. This is
completely outside of our control. Try fiddling with your $LANG setting.

my $LANG is set to fr_FR@euro.  Its is the only available value defined in
/etc/locale.gen :

fr_FR@euro ISO-8859-15

What should be the $LANG value that would make lyx choose the iso8859-15
encoding ?

Inserting an URL: not anyone?

[Raymond Ouellette]

Using LyX 1.2.2 (my last compile of 1.2.3 src.rpm failed :-() I noticed this problem:
I can't insert in a LyX document an URL if it contains certain characters.

http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36%257E73%257E1123977,00.html

The above URL, for exemple, when inserted in a LyX document, makes LyX refuse to 
produce anything -- I got the message « LyX a produit un document vide » or LyX 
produced an empty document. It is the second time I notice this behavior, and I 
suspect that the URL must contain invalid characters for LyX (or LaTeX)? Maybe the 
comma ?

Am I wrong?

You need to type latex not normal text at the moment.

Re: maths fonts in FoilTex

[David Norris]

Using the space instead of the brackets seems to work in general, but it 
is not entirely clear why \bm and \boldsymbol work with the brackets. 
Anyway I guess a solution has been found and that is the main thing.

Ok, I see.  Thank you for the help. However, do you think that other

idea to ask Claus Hentschel.

I've tried to port nasty code to cygwin before and was plagued by runtime

lyx 1.3pre2 does not display oe and euro symbol

I would like to switch to lyx 1.3pre2 but it does not allow me to type oe

Re: maths fonts in FoilTex

[David Norris]

Dear Paul,

Having just found 10 mins to play around in response to your recent 
sugestions the situation can be summarised as:
1. \mathbf etc no longer work in maths mode.
2. for normal text everything works ok from the maths panel
3. for Greek text the maths panel will not produce bold text
4. \bm works in maths mode and will give bold Greek characters
5. the appearance of some normal bold letters (eg 'a') is different 
depending on whether bm of the maths panel is used.
6. it is not necessary with FoilTex to explicitly add \usepackage{bm} or 
\usepackage{amsbsy}. It is also possible to use \boldsymbol in maths 
mode and the output (as far as I can see) is the same as for \bm.

Best wishes,

David

problem with dcolumn

[Dipl.-Ing. Robert Sauerbrey]

Hi there!

I have a rather strange problem with the package dcolumn, which I could 
only track down after some frustrating hours of work. It´s no problem to 
correctly align the values on the decimal point in the middle of the 
column and view the result with Acrobat Reader AS LONG as the font size 
 remains on normal. If I change this to an arbitrarily chosen size, 
e.g. big or small, I get a pretty amount of errors while trying to 
convert to PDF.

For example I get something like this:

missing } inserted

{footnotesize 104.1}

I have no ideas left, what might be wrong (sigh). I´m running Lyx 1.2.2 
  on Windows XP SP1. I´ve added an example file which demontrates this 
problem. Font size is on the default setting normal at the moment, but 
if changed, the errors start coming in low.

Thanks in advance,

Robert

foils and algorithms

[Raphael Clifford]

Hi,
I am trying to prepar comp. sci. lectures using lyx 1.2.1.  I started by
using foiltex simply because lyx seems to support it.  However I can't
work out how to do some simple things.

1) How can I use the algo package to typeset algorithms in my slides?  I
downloaded the algo 0.3 tar ball and installed it fine but I have no
idea how you can use it with foiltex.
2) How do I set different font sizes on different foils?

Cheers,
Raphael

Looks like the columntype you define only understands numbers, but not
{\huge 100.2}. I've never used the dcolumn package, though.

If you want the whole table as huge, you could simply put \huge in ERT in
front of the table.

PS: This is not exactly a LyX problem, maybe better ask in comp.text.tex

sources. In both I can see included .jpg figures. However, in the one at work 
I can see the included .eps figures while in the one at home I constantly get 
'Error converting to loadable format' and the figure won't display in LyX.

Which puzzles me most is that recently I installed LyX version 1.3.0pre2 with 
the qt frontend (which, by the way, looks great and has compiled and it's 
been working so far without hassle) and the same thing happens: I can see the 
.eps's in the system at work but not in the system at home.

I'd like to hear suggestions so as to what to check and get the damm thing 
working.

Thanks.

 to see what I mean. The first figure is generated using

 In the first figure the \lambda is missing in the ylabel and
 the text of labels are text fonts. However in the second one,
 all labels are math fonts. I really need this feature of
 metapost files.

Well, \lambda is OK on my computer, because I have configured
properly GhostScript (see pdf file on

tarball (of course, I assume that you are with real operating

~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.zshenv, /etc/profile, etc. --
check with set | less, that it is really set). Then open your

Re: problem with dcolumn

Hi there!

I have a rather strange problem with the package dcolumn, which I could 
only track down after some frustrating hours of work. It´s no problem to 
correctly align the values on the decimal point in the middle of the 
column and view the result with Acrobat Reader AS LONG as the font size 
 remains on normal. If I change this to an arbitrarily chosen size, e.g. 
big or small, I get a pretty amount of errors while trying to convert to 
PDF.

For example I get something like this:

missing } inserted

{footnotesize 104.1}

I have no ideas left, what might be wrong (sigh). I´m running Lyx 1.2.2 
  on Windows XP SP1. I´ve added an example file which demontrates this 
problem. Font size is on the default setting normal at the moment, but 
if changed, the errors start coming in low.

attached the running file. Look into the preamble,
I changed the newcolumntype and commented out
two commands, which are unknown to me (maybe that
they are part of komascript(???)

2. The links are pointing to files that actually exists in my

Are they important?

4. This means that I must generate every metapost file to be included in

mpost '\prologues :=1; input file.mp' in order to ensure that they have

Finally I would like to thank you all your help.

lyx 1.3pre2 does not display oe and euro symbol

In fact, the problem exists only with the Qt front-end.  It seems (-dbg 512)
that the font encoding is guessed from the language value and that the ones
associated with Français are either iso8859-1 and iso10646-1.  I have added
the relevant encoding variables in the preferences but it seems they are not used.

This will not affect your ability to *enter* the symbols. This is
completely outside of our control. Try fiddling with your $LANG setting.

my $LANG is set to fr_FR@euro.  Its is the only available value defined in
/etc/locale.gen :

fr_FR@euro ISO-8859-15

What should be the $LANG value that would make lyx choose the iso8859-15

Inserting an URL: not anyone?

[Raymond Ouellette]

Using LyX 1.2.2 (my last compile of 1.2.3 src.rpm failed :-() I noticed this problem:
I can't insert in a LyX document an URL if it contains certain characters.

http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36%257E73%257E1123977,00.html

The above URL, for exemple, when inserted in a LyX document, makes LyX refuse to 
produce anything -- I got the message « LyX a produit un document vide » or LyX 
produced an empty document. It is the second time I notice this behavior, and I 
suspect that the URL must contain invalid characters for LyX (or LaTeX)? Maybe the 
comma ?

Am I wrong?

Re: maths fonts in FoilTex

Using the space instead of the brackets seems to work in general, but it 
is not entirely clear why \bm and \boldsymbol work with the brackets. 
Anyway I guess a solution has been found and that is the main thing.

workaround could be found? I didn't want to use this workaround because 
i want to use math fonts at the text in the metapost files, in this way 
I can produce both ps and pdf output formats with the same math fonts 
than the text. Please could you have a look at the following resulting 
postscript file

http://www.iit.upco.es/~oscar/download/foo.ps

to see what I mean. The first figure is generated using prologues:=1; 
and the second one doesn't have the prologues:=1; In the first figure 
the \lambda is missing in the ylabel and the text of labels are text 
fonts. However in the second one, all labels are math fonts. I really 
need this feature of metapost files.


   Have a nice day,

  Matej



Once again thank you for your kind reply

The example file also displays this problem on my cygwin lyx system
(cygwin 1.3.17-1, winnt, miktex 2.2, lyx 1.2.3). I'm not sure what the 
output of \mathtt{} should have been. Is it supposed to be a math alphabet
command to create true-type font text inside a formula? Might be a good
idea to ask Claus Hentschel.

I've tried to port nasty code to cygwin before and was plagued by runtime
bugs which I couldn't track down at the time, and eventually gave up.

lyx 1.3pre2 does not display oe and euro symbol

[Nabil Hathout]

Hello,

I would like to switch to lyx 1.3pre2 but it does not allow me to type oe
(AltGr + S + g) and euro (AltGr + e) symbols.  This was possible in lyx
1.2.X. How could I do so ? Is the answer in the documentation ?

regards,

Re: maths fonts in FoilTex

[David Norris]

Dear Paul,

Having just found 10 mins to play around in response to your recent 
sugestions the situation can be summarised as:
1. \mathbf etc no longer work in maths mode.
2. for normal text everything works ok from the maths panel
3. for Greek text the maths panel will not produce bold text
4. \bm works in maths mode and will give bold Greek characters
5. the appearance of some normal bold letters (eg 'a') is different 
depending on whether bm of the maths panel is used.
6. it is not necessary with FoilTex to explicitly add \usepackage{bm} or 
\usepackage{amsbsy}. It is also possible to use \boldsymbol in maths 
mode and the output (as far as I can see) is the same as for \bm.

Best wishes,

David

problem with dcolumn

[Dipl.-Ing. Robert Sauerbrey]

Hi there!

I have a rather strange problem with the package dcolumn, which I could 
only track down after some frustrating hours of work. It´s no problem to 
correctly align the values on the decimal point in the middle of the 
column and view the result with Acrobat Reader AS LONG as the font size 
 remains on normal. If I change this to an arbitrarily chosen size, 
e.g. big or small, I get a pretty amount of errors while trying to 
convert to PDF.

For example I get something like this:

missing } inserted

{footnotesize 104.1}

I have no ideas left, what might be wrong (sigh). I´m running Lyx 1.2.2 
  on Windows XP SP1. I´ve added an example file which demontrates this 
problem. Font size is on the default setting "normal" at the moment, but 
if changed, the errors start coming in low.

Thanks in advance,

Robert

foils and algorithms

[Raphael Clifford]

Hi,
I am trying to prepar comp. sci. lectures using lyx 1.2.1.  I started by
using foiltex simply because lyx seems to support it.  However I can't
work out how to do some simple things.

1) How can I use the algo package to typeset algorithms in my slides?  I
downloaded the algo 0.3 tar ball and installed it fine but I have no
idea how you can use it with foiltex.
2) How do I set different font sizes on different foils?

Cheers,
Raphael

Looks like the columntype you define only understands numbers, but not
{\huge 100.2}. I've never used the dcolumn package, though.

If you want the whole table as "huge", you could simply put \huge in ERT in
front of the table.

PS: This is not exactly a LyX problem, maybe better ask in comp.text.tex
or similar.

Error converting to loadable format

[Luis Angel Fernández Cuadrado]

Hi all,

I'm faced to a mistery. I have 2 Linux systems, one at work and the other at 
home. Both are SuSE 8.0 and both have Ghostscript 6.53, xforms 0.89 and 
ImageMagick 5.4.2. In both I have compiled and installed LyX 1.2.2 from the 
sources. In both I can see included .jpg figures. However, in the one at work 
I can see the included .eps figures while in the one at home I constantly get 
'Error converting to loadable format' and the figure won't display in LyX.

Which puzzles me most is that recently I installed LyX version 1.3.0pre2 with 
the qt frontend (which, by the way, looks great and has compiled and it's 
been working so far without hassle) and the same thing happens: I can see the 
.eps's in the system at work but not in the system at home.

I'd like to hear suggestions so as to what to check and get the damm thing 
working.

Thanks.

I don't think so. I have several Gb free and I have cleaned the /tmp directory 
also to no avail.

Well, \lambda is OK on my computer, because I have configured
properly GhostScript (see pdf file on
http://www.volny.cz/cepls/ps-pdf/foo.pdf). Unpack the attached
tarball (of course, I assume that you are with real operating
system which supports links not M$ crap), and then set up an
environment variable GS_LIB to point to that directory (in
~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.zshenv, /etc/profile, etc. --
check with set | less, that it is really set). Then open your
file with

   gs foo.ps 2>&1 | tee foo.log

in xterm and you should see messages of ghostscript loading
appropriate fonts. If there is anything wrong, send me foo.log.

the mapping file.

Are they important?

4. This means that I must generate every metapost file to be included in 
lyx by menas of:

mpost '\prologues :=1; input file.mp' in order to ensure that they have 
a prologues :=1; line mustn't I?

Finally I would like to thank you all your help.


   Have a nice day,

Using space in lieu of braces also works for \mathtt.

1.2.3 and 1.3.0pre2 debs

[Nicolas Boos]

Hello,

I've created two LyX packages for Debian 3.0 (Woody). See :

   http://dpt.tuxfamily.org/paquets-woody.html

(you can use a deb-src line for sources)

Any comments or suggestions - in private please - are welcomed.

lyx 1.3pre2 does not display oe and euro symbol

[Nabil Hathout]

In fact, the problem exists only with the Qt front-end.  It seems (-dbg 512)
that the font encoding is guessed from the language value and that the ones
associated with "Français" are either iso8859-1 and iso10646-1.  I have added
the relevant encoding variables in the preferences but it seems they are not used.

regards,

This will not affect your ability to *enter* the symbols. This is
completely outside of our control. Try fiddling with your $LANG setting.

my $LANG is set to fr_FR@euro.  Its is the only available value defined in
/etc/locale.gen :

fr_FR@euro ISO-8859-15

What should be the $LANG value that would make lyx choose the iso8859-15
encoding ?

Inserting an URL: not anyone?

[Raymond Ouellette]

Using LyX 1.2.2 (my last compile of 1.2.3 src.rpm failed :-() I noticed this problem:
I can't insert in a LyX document an URL if it contains certain characters.

http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36%257E73%257E1123977,00.html

The above URL, for exemple, when inserted in a LyX document, makes LyX refuse to 
produce anything -- I got the message « LyX a produit un document vide » or LyX 
produced an empty document. It is the second time I notice this behavior, and I 
suspect that the URL must contain invalid characters for LyX (or LaTeX)? Maybe the 
comma ?

Am I wrong?

You need to type latex not normal text at the moment.

Having said that, this works for me. See attached...

Re: maths fonts in FoilTex

[David Norris]

Using the space instead of the brackets seems to work in general, but it 
is not entirely clear why \bm and \boldsymbol work with the brackets. 
Anyway I guess a solution has been found and that is the main thing.

Using space in lieu of braces also works for \mathtt.
