includeonly
Dear LyX users,
I have a large document that is split into separate chapters, all in their
own directories (with lyx and eps and graphic source files).
The main.lyx file includes e.g.
Einleitung/einleitung.lyx
Thermisch/thermisch.lyx
MTF/mtf.lyx
Now I want to use \includeonly{} in the preamble, but none of e.g.
\includeonly{thermisch}
or
\includeonly{Thermisch/thermisch}
seems to work.
Is there some kind of filename mangling when the tex files are generated in
the temporary dir?
Is this reproducible?
Should I rather put all *lyx files in one common dir?

\includeonly{thermisch}
or
\includeonly{Thermisch/thermisch}
seems to work.
Is there some kind of filename mangling when the tex files are generated in
the temporary dir?
Is this reproducible?
Should I rather put all *lyx files in one common dir?

Re: View problem
Thanks for the reply. I'm on Mac OS X version 10.4. And you're right, it depends on the location where I save the file. This actually helped me find the bug: the name of the directory where the file is stored should not include spaces, accents or other "strange" characters.

All, I have a problem with the view function (whether dvi, pdf or ps) on Lyx 1.5.6: it works well with a new file, but as soon as I save the file, I can't view it anymore. Does anyone has a clue? Thanks, Reza Lahidji

I saw in the mail archive that this can happen when the name of the directory where the file is stored includes spaces. But I don't have that. There are some known bugs, I believe, if the filename contains non-ascii characters. Does that apply to your case? rh
Re: ACM - solution
Uwe Stöhr schrieb: I've no other explanation than that you haven't correctly installed the document class to MiKTeX. I know now what your problem is. You are using LyX 1.6.0RC3, but the layout file you can download from the Wiki page, is for LyX 1.5.x and not for LyX 1.6. (I designed it after RC3 was released and in the meantime we changed the layout file format and the needed conversions scripts are therefore not in RC3. With the next LyX 1.6 test release we ship a ACM-layout that works for LyX 1.6. So it should work when you use lyX 1.5.6. regards Uwe
Installing a truetype font in LyX
I was just hopeful that someone could point me to a how to, on installing truetype fonts for use in LyX. I have found multiple sites on-line but all seem to require tools that aren't installed or available to my system, or I just couldn't get them to work. Linux distro: Fedora 9 LyX version:lyx-1.5.6-2 truetype font: liberation If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thanks, - Jacob

I'm no expert on this, I'm afraid. But you could certainly try downloading it from cvs, compiling it, and using it. rh
Custom inset menu won't appear
I'm using 1.6rc3 on a Mac. When I click Insert, and move the mouse over Custom insets, nothing happens. I'm pretty new to LyX, so I'm sure if this is a bug, but if nothing is available shouldn't the option be greyed out? Desmond
