I spent an hour trying to play around with the fonts in R, etc. with no results. Finally I googled the problem and found that GS was able to solve it (even using the fonts on my Windows 10 machine!). Like for you, gs has helped me many times over the years, even before PS/PDF was a mainstream format. Much like you, I was surprised... but not. -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Did you turn off the option on the Linux side to install automatically missing modules (assuming that such an option exists there, too)? One of the nice things about MikTeX in Windows is that the modules are loaded dynamically inside of LaTeX (or even LyX). TeXLive has huge "chunks" for modules (via apt-get), at least as far as I can tell. > It should also be possible to share between TeXLive and MikTeX in a > similar way. > > I don’t do this anymore, since HD are cheap nowadays. > True, but the same is not true about SSDs. My main machine is a Surface Pro and it's very snappy, but the SSD has ~250Gb - I'm not hurting for space yet, which is why I asked the question. My home desktop has a 2TB HD that is a performance bottleneck when I run LyX. I will give it a try and report back.

Reducing document figures size
I have a 37-page report and the pdf size is 7.3M because it includes 34 figures. Some of these figures are digital photographs (720x480dpi, .png), some are spatial maps produced by GRASS (.pdf), and some are lattice plots produced by R (large amounts of data display slowly, .pdf). Is there a format that would preserve image quality but consume less space? I'm sure that ImageMagick's 'convert' will do the job. I've tried converting PDF files to EPS but the quality is noticeably degraded. Ideas most welcome.

RE: Reuse MikTeX from Win10 in WSL
Van: lyx-users Namens Cris Fuhrman Verzonden: dinsdag 15 oktober 2019 15:15 Aan: LyX Users Onderwerp: Reuse MikTeX from Win10 in WSL The trouble is that, like many things WSL, I wind up with two installations of the same library (MikTeX from Win 10 and TexLive from Ubuntu install of LyX). I know a MikTeX exists for Ubuntu, so I got to thinking maybe I could configure it to point to the Win 10 installation. Yes, this is possible; that is to say I once did this under a dual boot of W10 and Lubuntu. Install MikTeX in the usual way under one system, say W10, then install the basics under the other system, WSL, and add the W10 install TEXMF root directory, where the packages are, as user root directory under WSL. Of course, in this construct, packages can only be updated under W10. It should also be possible to share between TeXLive and MikTeX in a similar way. I don’t do this anymore, since HD are cheap nowadays. -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
