This is a known bug and will be fixed in the next release.

Re: swapping LyX modifier keys on Mac OS X
Jens, Glad to hear you find the patch useful. It's too bad there doesn't seem to be an easy way to make the modifier keys configurable at runtime (if I recall, someone looked into this a while ago) so for now patching Qt is still the path of least resistance. I was finally able to get 1.4.2 to build for PPC (GCC 3.3, OS X 10.4.7). I Googled the compiler errors I was getting and discovered that I needed to add -lSystemStubs to LDFLAGS to avoid undefined symbols. I've posted a new disk image at http://kuala.smu.edu.sg/~jason/lyx/ and linked that page to yours with the Intel version. regards, -j Jens Noeckel wrote: Jason, I can confirm that your patch still works for LyX 1.4.2 - I had actually tried this a week ago on an Intel Mac.

Language in bibliography?
Hi, all, In my bibliography, I notice that many of the citations contain Polish, whereas I'd prefer everything in English :) For example, a couple of books in the third edition have wydanie 3rd, a doctoral dissertation contains Praca doktorska, and an article published in 1999 has Czerwiec 1999. I can't find anywhere in my LyX document (preamble, in the text itself, etc.) nor in the bibliography entries (either native BibTeX editing or the various frontends like Pybliographic or KBibTeX) where Polish is used. Does anyone have any hints for me? Best wishes, Curtis O.

Re: One bibliography, separated by chapter?
Curtis Osterhoudt wrote: If I use chapterbib and do NOT use the [gather] option, then all of the bibliographies are gathered at the end of the document. The effect (as far as I can see) is equivalent to including each of the bibliographies at the end of the chapters, in comment boxes, and then having one bibliography at the end of the master file, not in a comment box. Is it really a bibliography by chapter then? I think it's just an ordinary bibliography, and the fact that you are using an unsrt bib style lets it look as if it is divided by chapters. If I use the [gather] option, the same thing happens, and the master bibliography is listed in the TOC (and is listed as falling on the correct page), but NEVER SHOWS UP. The text goes directly from the end of the last chapter to the Index. I suppose my next trick will be to repeat these experiments with a minimal raw latex file and see if that's any different (I suspect it won't be; probably this is more of a problem with chapterbib playing nice than anything else). I just tried myself, and I couldn't get it to work as well. My guess is that you have to export your files to latex and run latex/bibtex manually. LyX doesn't seem to run bibtex on the different aux files, as needed. Jürgen

The point that _I_ think is important is the number of choices available to those of us who work in a F/OSS environment.

Re: swapping LyX modifier keys on Mac OS X
Jason, thanks much - I've also put a link to your patched version for PPC on my page.

I can start XFig so that all NEW text has the special flag and LaTeX fonts. However, if I want to edit a file in XFig which has been created elsewhere (I often produce plots in .eps format in, say, Mathematica, then use pstoedit to turn it into XFig format), the fonts, of course, don't have these special flags. I have written a Mathematica program to correctly set these flags in the XFig files, but one has to have Mathematica!. So my question is: Is there a simple program to set these things (special flag, LaTeX fonts, perhaps some nice feature like scale-fonts-to-60%-of-original-size)?

Re: Fw: Postscript preview
One more little experiment, if you don't mind, just to confirm symptoms: if you comment out one of the SET commands in lyx.bat, but replace it with a line of equal length (SET XXX=Y... with enough Xs and Ys to match the line you commented out), does the bug move to a different image (or disappear)? Ok, it tried this. I commented out SET LC_ALL=en_EN. This resulted in a different image having the preview problem. I placed SET XX=Y in lyx.bat and the preview problem moved back to the original image. The same happens when I comment out the other line in the lyx.bat. I also added extra lines in lyx.bat such as SET XX=Y this however did not make any difference as far as image preview is concerned. Another puzzling thing is that the preview problem jumps between two specific figures eventhough I have many figures in the document and many of them are generated with Matlab. The preview problem however never affects figures generated with other programs. Thanks Leo

as ERT immediately following the chapter title in the LyX file. The
\chapter command is already there, in effect: It's created by the
Chapter environment in your LyX file.
The titlesec/titletoc and tocloft packages are the ones you want.
Whether you use titletoc or tocloft, well, that's a matter of personal
preference, mostly.

Ok, it tried this. I commented out SET LC_ALL=en_EN. This resulted in a different image having the preview problem. I placed SET XX=Y in lyx.bat and the preview problem moved back to the original image. The same happens when I comment out the other line in the lyx.bat. I also added extra lines in lyx.bat such as SET XX=Y this however did not make any difference as far as image preview is concerned. Another puzzling thing is that the preview problem jumps between two specific figures eventhough I have many figures in the document and many of them are generated with Matlab. The preview problem however never affects figures generated with other programs. Thanks Leo Do you have two installations of ghostscript on your machine? One in a sub-directory for Matlab and another one in a sub-dir of LyX or maybe a system-wide Ghostscript? If so, that means if you rename the ghostscript executables, maybe they are gs.exe and gswin32.exe, to gs.bak and gswin32.bak, under the Matlab install of Ghostscript, then lyx.exe and lyx.bat should work the same. Try it first with lyx.exe which you know works and if it still works then the correct gs executable has been renamed. Then lyx.bat will have to use the same gs executable since the one under Matlab has been renamed and won't answer the call.

Telefon double definition in g-brief and mavrosym
dear readers,
may be this is not lyx but TeX error. (I use the last Miktex WinXP)
mavrosym.sty (2006/05/11 v2.1) defines
\def\Telefon{{\mvchr84}}
while g-brief-de.layout (and the g-brief.cls in tex) defines
Style Telefon
...
LatexName Telefon

End
this stops latex every time using g-brief with errors when running
automatic through mavrosym while using g-brief.
I would recommend for mavrosym.sty to change Telefon to Telefone!

Converting Beamer to Article In LyX

But, I cannot compile it.
The document class was changed to article, and the preamble includes
\usepackage{beamerarticle}.
Pressing ctrl-d causes latex to grind away for a long time before failing,
and trying view-pdflatex yields the same results.

Re: Help with euro symbol
2006/8/3, Marc Vinyals [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Some notes: first, and also from The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List,
you need to \usepackage{eurosym} to get these macros defined.
I've added \usepackage{eurosym} to document preamble and pasted some
euro symbols (appears «?» on LyX) and the ps/pdf output also shows «?»
instead of euro. Same as without eurosym.
It's strange, though, that LyX doesn't handle direct \euro keystrokes
while it has no problem with German ss or Latin ae. It might be a
key-mapping problem, since AltGr+E == Ctrl+Alt+E could be bound to a
menu item or whatever. This problem exists with lyx-1.4.2-gtk too, but
may be specific to the ES keyboard layout.
I think there are two problems here: what you describe (key-mapping
problem) and make lyx euro-aware.

Re: One bibliography, separated by chapter?
Curtis Osterhoudt wrote: If I use chapterbib and do NOT use the [gather] option, then all of the bibliographies are gathered at the end of the document. The effect (as far as I can see) is equivalent to including each of the bibliographies at the end of the chapters, in comment boxes, and then having one bibliography at the end of the master file, not in a comment box. Is it really a bibliography by chapter then? I think it's just an ordinary bibliography, and the fact that you are using an unsrt bib style lets it look as if it is divided by chapters. If I use the [gather] option, the same thing happens, and the master bibliography is listed in the TOC (and is listed as falling on the correct page), but NEVER SHOWS UP. The text goes directly from the end of the last chapter to the Index. I suppose my next trick will be to repeat these experiments with a minimal raw latex file and see if that's any different (I suspect it won't be; probably this is more of a problem with chapterbib playing nice than anything else). I just tried myself, and I couldn't get it to work as well. My guess is that you have to export your files to latex and run latex/bibtex manually. LyX doesn't seem to run bibtex on the different aux files, as needed. Jürgen

Re: swapping LyX modifier keys on Mac OS X
Jason, thanks much - I've also put a link to your patched version for PPC on my page. Looking at the LyX wiki, I'm also thinking I should add several little things: maybe a new page called Modifier keys in LyX, both as a quick overview of how the default version works on a Mac, and then a discussion of (and links to) the emacs-keybinding versions. I would also include the Apple-X11 versions of LyX in that discussion; and in the future this might allow us to collect info on how to deal with qt4, or point to things like UControl, and the OSX- built-in ways of customizing the modifier keys freely. OS X' System Preferences menu already made a big first step in that direction, only it's not customizable on a per-application basis. Also, it seems the page http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnMac where the main downloads are should also be linked to from the main page of the Mac group, http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/Mac I'll do this soon, unless I hear objections.

I also added extra lines in lyx.bat such as SET XX=Y this however did not make any difference as far as image preview is concerned.

Re: toc formating
You can't put a \chapter or \addtocomments command in your preamble.
That's why you're getting the error. These commands go in the document
itself.
What you want to do here, I think, is put
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\mbox{}\protect\hrulefill\par}
as ERT immediately following the chapter title in the LyX file. The
\chapter command is already there, in effect: It's created by the
Chapter environment in your LyX file.
The titlesec/titletoc and tocloft packages are the ones you want.
Whether you use titletoc or tocloft, well, that's a matter of personal
preference, mostly.

Telefon double definition in g-brief and mavrosym
dear readers,
may be this is not lyx but TeX error. (I use the last Miktex WinXP)
mavrosym.sty (2006/05/11 v2.1) defines
\def\Telefon{{\mvchr84}}
while g-brief-de.layout (and the g-brief.cls in tex) defines
Style Telefon
...
LatexName Telefon
...
End
this stops latex every time using g-brief with errors when running
automatic through mavrosym while using g-brief.
I would recommend for mavrosym.sty to change Telefon to Telefone!

Re: Help with euro symbol
2006/8/3, Marc Vinyals [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Some notes: first, and also from The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List,
you need to \usepackage{eurosym} to get these macros defined.
I've added \usepackage{eurosym} to document preamble and pasted some
euro symbols (appears «?» on LyX) and the ps/pdf output also shows «?»
instead of euro. Same as without eurosym.
It's strange, though, that LyX doesn't handle direct \euro keystrokes
while it has no problem with German ss or Latin ae. It might be a
key-mapping problem, since AltGr+E == Ctrl+Alt+E could be bound to a
menu item or whatever. This problem exists with lyx-1.4.2-gtk too, but
may be specific to the ES keyboard layout.
I think there are two problems here: what you describe (key-mapping
problem) and make lyx euro-aware.

If Lyx generates "stupid" latex files, then lyx can be fixed. But I don't see how a lyx fault could cause this problem. Helge Hafting

If I want to run lyx in German, all umlauts in the menues are distorted. No problem, I thought, let's start lyx with: LANG=de_DE; lyx-1.4.2 Well, that does not work, since: locale -a tells me, that in fact only [EMAIL PROTECTED] does exist on my system. I don't really know ubuntu, but it is based on debian, and in debian we do: dpkg-reconfigure locales You get a long list of possible locales, make sure [EMAIL PROTECTED] is enabled in addition to the existing [EMAIL PROTECTED] Helge Hafting
