Re: Japanese furigana into LyX documents

[K. Yokota]

BTW, writing furigana with TeX code is cumbersome. I use the following
local layout for furigana for convenience:

InsetLayout Flex:Ruby

Remember to remove "\usepackage[CJK,overlap]{ruby}" line from Document ->
Preamble to prevent a crash.

Usage when writing:

1. choose Edit -> Text Style -> Ruby to insert a ruby inset,
2. write a main text in the inset,
3. choose Insert -> Furigana to insert the inner furigana inset,
4. fill in furigana for the main text in the inner inset

I attach an improved sample file.

Assuming that the problem is with her MiKTeX installation, wiping all 
traces of MiKTeX (and LyX) and reinstalling (and then updating) MiKTeX 
should fix it. The sequence "i_DEc2016_NBER.nav" has me wondering 
whether something is garbled in a source file, though. If a full 
reinstall does not fix things, can you get her to provide one of the 
offending source documents, cut down to more or less the minimum 
required to trigger an error?

Re: Japanese furigana into LyX documents

[K. Yokota]

Hi Daniel,

I attach a working example. It uses "Unicode (CJK) (utf8)" encoding and
BXcjkjatype package. Note that you use "pdflatex" for compilation. I tested
with MacTeX so I hope it works with TeXlive as well.

The following links are good for reference:
(original Japanese page) https://texwiki.texjp.org/?LaTeX-CJK#ue7194c1
(its English translation: unfinished?)
http://jun0inoue.blogspot.jp/2013/05/tex-wiki.html

Japanese CJK doesn't seem to work with other encodings even with
comprehensive TeXLive as is. I guess the use of BXcjkjatype package is the
only path to succeed with LyX and out-of-box latex systems.

Cheers,

Koji

Great question, will find out and follow up.

(Thank you all for being so prompt and interested in figuring out the
problem!)

Hey Richard,

I am pretty sure it is Windows, and it's the most recent version from 
miktex. I can ask her for the specifics though if you think it might help?


--
We also need to know which LyX installer she used. There are two 
versions for Windows, the "installer" (52 MB) and the "bundle" (261 MB). 
The former relies on an existing MiKTeX installation; the latter 
installs a version of MiKTeX. If you use the bigger installer and you 
already have MiKTeX, you end up with two MiKTeX installations (the 
original is not replaced).


So I wonder if she used the larger installer and, after uninstalling 
LyX, some trace of the LyX-installed MiKTeX distribution persisted?

Re: minipage preview of linewidth in edit mode

[Jean-Marc Lasgouttes]

Le 28/05/2017 à 04:32, subaochen a écrit :

Thanks Soctt!

Actually, I change the width of first minipage to 65.681%(the other is 
always 30% width), the whole thing is ok, LaTeX log say nothing 
wrong.But 65.682% is not working, LaTeX log say:


Overfull \hbox (0.10208pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 12--18


I don't know the reason, where the 4.3% of space go?


Textwidth is the complete line width, LineWidth is the same minus the 
paragraph indentation (when on first line of a paragraph). The bug is 
that on screen LyX considers the line width to be equal to text width. 
The 4.3% of space is thus the indentation. You would not have the 
problem if the indentation was removed.


Please consider creating a ticket at www.lyx.org/trac. I cannot commit 
to fixing it right now, though.

Re: Initials not scaled properly over 3 Lines

[Pilhofer, Frank]

Paul,
thank you, that does the trick! Actually, step 3 (loading the fix-cm package) 
is sufficient. Once I add that package, the initials are scaled properly.
The DefaultLines counter in the preamble sets the default number of lines for 
the initial packages, so that I do not have to configure the "lines" option 
every time.
Thank you,
Frank
