Thanks for helping me narrow down this problem.

latest MikTex beraks my Lyx documents of the letter (g-brief, German) class (latex error)

I just tried to write a letter with Lyx. For this I always use the
letter (g-brief, German) class. When I hit the button for PDF (or DVI,
it doesn't matter) export, I get the following latex errors:

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
2. LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.

You're in trouble here. Try typing return to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X return to quit.

I also tried documents of the same class that worked before, I get the
same errors. As I have recently updated MikTex, I blame this update to
cause the problem, but I have no idea what to do. I checked the document
language setting in Lyx, but this is set to german, so I don't know why
the error mentions english. I also exported to .tex and saw that
\begin{document} was there.
My System: Windows Vista with Lyx 1.5.5 and an up-to-date MikTex

Please let me know if further information is needed.

If I install the Windows 1.6 alpha, will it interfere with my 1.5 installation? In other words, if I install using the 1.6 installer rather than building from the source, can I run 1.5 and 1.6 in parallel as I did under Linux? -- http://www.unmusic.co.uk Michael Reed -- technology, gender, and geek culture freelance writer

I didn't know about LaTeX Log And i guessthat's really usefull.. this time

./Document_1/document.lyx.
So, if it is not already solved in 1.5.3, i suggest everyone to avoid spaces in

Solution: Header problem ! .. and .. Bug?
Thanks to M-L and Paul A. Rubin for their precious and fast helps.
I didn't know about LaTeX Log And i guessthat's really usefull.. this time
worke dto drive me to the right solution.
In the end it was just a directory problem, which probably is a bug too..
I solved it removing spaces for m directories. I mean: My LyX file was in
../Document 1/document.lyx and I soved moving it to
./Document_1/document.lyx.
So, if it is not already solved in 1.5.3, i suggest everyone to avoid spaces in
directories ...
The strange thing is that it was able to recognise the file did exist (so no
error messages were reported, but i t wasn't able to find it when having to
integrate it in the document.
Even srtanger is that the problem did occurr just in this case :
\fancyhead[C]{\resizebox*{!}{10mm}{\includegraphics{/Immagini/e-snake.eps}}}
but in this case
\includegraphics[width=1\columnwidth]{Immagini/e-snake.eps}
it did not have any problem.
The first was filled manually in an ERT box, the second is the source behind
normal LyX graphic insertion..

.Document -> LaTeX Log will display it.

Header problem !
Hi all !!
I'm Lucio from Italy, new member of this mailinglist !!
I'm enthusiastic user of lyx and recently I've moved from windows to linu=
x.
I built a document in lyx for windows.. and now I'm modifying it in lyx 1=
.5.2 for linux (ubuntu gutsy gibbon 7.10)
I'm usingg this tex code in ERT box:
\fancyhead[C]{\resizebox*{!}{15mm}{\includegraphics{Immagini/Render2.ps}}=
}
In lyx for win it did work properly, showing that little image in the cen=
ter of the header.
In Lyx for win it doesn't work! it does show the header but no images in =
it !!
I really don't know which one could be the problem, so no idea where to l=
ook for.. any suggestion?
Could it be 'couse of miktex is able to render this code and don't-know-w=
hat in linux isn't ?
Hey almost forgetting: Happy Christmas to everybody!!! :o)

'ugly' EURO symbol in lyx with standard font
Dear Lyx Users, I have the following problem. Whenever I generate a Lyx Document (using all standard settings including the font and an up-to-date miktex on a windows system) I find the € (EURO ) symbol, also the German ß (Eszett, scharfes S) and the @ (at) quite ugly and looking out of place (as if written in another font or with a different resolution). Is this just me, or does anyone have the same problem? Is there anything I can do to improve this? Thanks a lot for your help. SK

Is this just me, or does anyone have the same problem? Is there anything I can do to improve this? This is because the standard font is an old one and the non-English new characters were added later. To get a nice looking €-sign, use e.g. the Latin Modern font. regards Uwe

Change tracking in LyX and multiple users
Hi, I want to track changes in LyX in the same way that I do with my computer programs in C++, and for that purpose I use CVS. I look at the mail list but did not found relevant information about this. How do you generally track the changes in your documents ? what do you think is the best system ? Do you recommend CVS or another one ? By the way, my objective is also to have several users working on the same LyX document at the same time. What do you think is the best approach ? Thanks Horacio
