various fonts in math equations

[Leslaw Bieniasz]

Hi,

I am using LyX on a PC operating under Windows XP, with MikTeX.
I need to have math equations containing symbols
written with various fonts. By using the terminology
of MS Word/Windows, I need the following combinations:

1) Italic
2) Bold
3) Italic+Bold

I have been able to have 1 in Lyx (this in fact appears by default
while typing the formulae). I have also been able to have 2, which
can be done if I change the font to /mathbf in the equation editor.
But I have not been able to achieve 3. Is there any way to do this?
The point is that I'd like to see these effects not only in LyX itself,
but also (or maybe in the first place) in the pdf file generated by LyX.

Must be \runningheads definition tramples on something that track changes 
needs.


The change tracking stuff loads soul and xcolor, I think, and there could be 
some kind of incompatibility there. Hard to know.


If you care to debug this for proper nagauth styles, I'll send you the 
nagauth.cls file. I'm not sure I know latex well enough to do it myself.


If you could file a bug report and attach the problematic file and either 
attach or link to ngauth.cls, that'd be great.

You don't need the layout because it is present in latex, if you use bibtex 
just double click in the gray box and choose the vancouver style

Re: Biber documentation

[stefano franchi]

Hi Wolfgang,

the Vancouver style you linked to is a .bst file. In other words, it is a
style file for use with bibtex. It cannot be used with biblatex. As far as
I know, there is no Vancouver style available for biblatex. You'll have to
start with a standard style, e.g. authoryear, and then modified it by hand.
That is a painful task when your knoledge of biblatex is still limited.
One alternative is to switch to bibtex.

Cheers,

Stefano

Missing class and layout files

[Janmaat, John]

Hello,

I just installed lyx on an openSUSE 12.1 linux system, from the distribution.  
It reports


  Due to some error in it, the layout file:
  DocBook chapter (SGML)
  could not be loaded. A default textclass with default
  layouts will be used. LyX will not be able to produce
  correct output


on launch.  For any template I try to open, it reports that the layout file is 
missing and the class file is missing.
When I try to reconfigure it, the message I get is


  The system reconfiguration has failed.
  Default textclass is used but LyX may not be able to work properly.
  Please reconfigure again if needed.

What is the terminal output? That should tell us the specific step at
which reconfigure failed. Something is going wrong with LyX finding
your LaTeX installation. Are you using TexLive? Which version? If not,
I think you should install that first.
