 After an hour of searching, I'm having a little trouble here. I
 download a font. Now...

If I remember correctly (I haven't installed fonts in a long time), you
can right click on the font in nautilus and open it with the font
viewer. In the font viewer, you have a button to install the font.

From then on, it should be available for all programs.

But as I said, I haven't done this for quite some time.

Cheers,

Rainer

Just install it at your system (most probably, your desktop's System 
Settings has a section where you can install fonts).

As for TeX fonts (the fonts I listed), those should be part of any modern TeX 
distribution, so either you already have it or you can easily install it via 
your TeX package manager.

 I'd still like to know this.

For a TeX font, install the newcent or tgschola package(s).
If you need maths, also install and use fouriernc.

The TeX Gyre Schola font (a free Century Schoolbook clone with many Latin
Extended characters and real small caps ) is also available as OTF
system font. Follow the instructions for system font installation for your
OS and click the use non-TeX fonts box.

listings package options

[Michael Bach]

Dear LyX Users and Developers,

I would like to add the numberbychapter=true option to the listings
package for the code listings. I looked around but did not find a GUI
option for it. I found a related issue [1] where the advice was to file
a feature request to add options to packages already loaded by LyX.

Could someone give me a hint?

Error inverse search with SumatraPDF

[Tim Breitenbach]

Hello,
I have tried to set up backward or inverse search in  Lyx with Sumatra 
PDF on Windows 7. I have followed the instructions at 
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SyncTeX. If I double click in a Sumatra PDF 
document, a Windows command windows shortly appears which says that the 
system cannot find the file. It does not mean lyxeditor.cmd but some 
other file. I don't know what file it could be. Maybe the lyxeditor.cmd 
code on this above link is wrong?


I have read often about this error on the web but no solution for that.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Thank you,

For listings, you can access the individual inset settings by right 
clicking on it, the selecting Settings
Then, you can type settings not in the GUI in the Advanced tab. Type 
your options in the More Parameters text box.


If you want to apply the settings to all listings in the document, which 
is the case here (this option is global), then type the text directly in 
Documents-Settings-Listings


However, that option is true by default (according to listings 
documentation and to my tests), so you should not need to do anything.


If you want to switch the option off, then type
numberbychapter=false
in the above mentioned place. Note that LyX may prevent you to apply the 
change, in such case you can check the Bypass validation option (I 
needed to do that for that specific option).


Tested in LyX 2.0.6 on Windows with MikTeX.

Re: exporting tex for newbies

[Bob Alvarez]

Here is how exported a tex file for an AIP journal. It was easier than I
thought it would be--thanks Lyx developers!

1. Put Lyx file same directory as the graphics files.Modify the graphics
file addresses in the Lyx file if you, like me, have them in a separate
directory while writing the manuscript.  Make sure the Lyx file works by
previewing the pdf.
2. Do a File|export|pdflatex.
3. I think this automatically converts the graphics files to pdf, which are
needed for the .tex file to work. If not, try running pdflatex from the DOS
command line. It should be in the system path from your Lyx installation.
4. The pdflatex creates several files in the directory including one with a
.bbl extension. Open that one with a text editor like Notepad and select
all of it and copy to the clipboard.
5. Open the .tex file in the text editor, scroll to the end and look for
the two lines starting with bibfiles ... and options ...
6. delete those lines and paste in the contents of the .bbl file in their
place. Save the modified .tex file

That's it. The journal website seems to accept the file.

additional notes:
The journal website converts my .eps graphics files to .pdf so I did not
have to upload them.

FWIW, I am in 2.0.5.1 on OS X 10.8.5 with MacTeX.

One thing strikes me as odd just from the name of that option: I am

Depends whether this is a TeX font or not.

Just install it at your system (most probably, your desktop's "System 
Settings" has a section where you can install fonts).

As for TeX fonts (the fonts I listed), those should be part of any modern TeX 
distribution, so either you already have it or you can easily install it via 
your TeX package manager.

For a TeX font, install the "newcent" or "tgschola" package(s).
If you need maths, also install and use "fouriernc".

The TeX Gyre Schola font (a free Century Schoolbook clone with many "Latin
Extended" characters and real small caps ) is also available as OTF
system font. Follow the instructions for system font installation for your
OS and click the "use non-TeX fonts" box.

listings package options

[Michael Bach]

Dear LyX Users and Developers,

I would like to add the numberbychapter=true option to the listings
package for the code listings. I looked around but did not find a GUI
option for it. I found a related issue [1] where the advice was to file
a feature request to add options to packages already loaded by LyX.

Could someone give me a hint?

Best Regards,
Michael Bach

Error inverse search with SumatraPDF

[Tim Breitenbach]

Hello,
I have tried to set up backward or inverse search in  Lyx with Sumatra 
PDF on Windows 7. I have followed the instructions at 
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SyncTeX. If I double click in a Sumatra PDF 
document, a Windows command windows shortly appears which says that "the 
system cannot find the file". It does not mean "lyxeditor.cmd" but some 
other file. I don't know what file it could be. Maybe the lyxeditor.cmd 
code on this above link is wrong?


I have read often about this error on the web but no solution for that.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Thank you,
kind reagards

RE: Integrating JabRef-2.9.2 With LyX-2.0.6 [SOLVED]

[Roel Schipper - CITG]

That were useful posts, thanks  - I am using the same combination of JabRef and 
LyX and was looking for the option to switch to natbib. It is kind of confusing 
that there are three positions where you can say something about the reference 
format (document settings, in the citation itself and in the bibliography).

   All fixed. In the dialog box associated with the bibtex generated 
bibliography I had to try several styles before I found one that works for
me: apa.

For listings, you can access the individual inset settings by right 
clicking on it, the selecting "Settings...".
Then, you can type settings not in the GUI in the "Advanced" tab. Type 
your options in the "More Parameters" text box.


If you want to apply the settings to all listings in the document, which 
is the case here (this option is global), then type the text directly in 
Documents->Settings->Listings


However, that option is true by default (according to listings 
documentation and to my tests), so you should not need to do anything.


If you want to switch the option off, then type
numberbychapter=false
in the above mentioned place. Note that LyX may prevent you to apply the 
change, in such case you can check the "Bypass validation" option (I 
needed to do that for that specific option).


Tested in LyX 2.0.6 on Windows with MikTeX.

Best regards,

Olivier

Re: exporting tex for newbies

[Bob Alvarez]

Here is how exported a tex file for an AIP journal. It was easier than I
thought it would be--thanks Lyx developers!

1. Put Lyx file same directory as the graphics files.Modify the graphics
file addresses in the Lyx file if you, like me, have them in a separate
directory while writing the manuscript.  Make sure the Lyx file works by
previewing the pdf.
2. Do a File|export|pdflatex.
3. I think this automatically converts the graphics files to pdf, which are
needed for the .tex file to work. If not, try running pdflatex from the DOS
command line. It should be in the system path from your Lyx installation.
4. The pdflatex creates several files in the directory including one with a
.bbl extension. Open that one with a text editor like Notepad and select
all of it and copy to the clipboard.
5. Open the .tex file in the text editor, scroll to the end and look for
the two lines starting with "bibfiles ..." and "options ..."
6. delete those lines and paste in the contents of the .bbl file in their
place. Save the modified .tex file

That's it. The journal website seems to accept the file.

additional notes:
The journal website converts my .eps graphics files to .pdf so I did not
have to upload them.

I had the impression that the `numberbychapter' option is a package
option and not an option for single (global) listing(s).

I tested as you suggested in the global dialog and setting it true or
false there makes no difference, both gives consecutive numbering "Code
1", "Code 2" etc., i.e. not what I want.

FWIW, I am in 2.0.5.1 on OS X 10.8.5 with MacTeX.

One thing strikes me as odd just from the name of that option: I am
using the `article' document class and not `book' where chapter is a
sectioning command. That should be irrelevant, I guess (?).

Michael

RTFM.  But I really do not get it why the article documentclass
shouldn't be supported.  Will contact the listings maintainer.
