Hi,
I'm a new user of lyx (and klyx) and I have some problems. I don't know
anything about LaTex commands so I think most of my problems maybe
soluble with them. All my problems are from klyx but they have nothing
to do with desktop env. so I think the problems are of lyx 0.12.0.
My first problem is, changing the heading in the chapter heading. I'm
writing my document in report type and when I select Chapter type for my
text it puts automatically "Chapter [Chapter Number]" text on the
chapter heading. But my document is in Turkish (which is supported by
lyx, by the way it has the best support for this language among all of
the word processors for Linux, better than Wordperfect 8.0 and
StarOffice 5.0) and I have to write "Bolum"(the Turkish word for
Chapter) instead of "Chapter". I tried to change the definition in
stdsections.inc but although the change is shown in the screen, the PS
output contains "Chapter". I think (from the limited knowledge I have
about lyx & latex) the problem is about some latex thing, but I don't
know how to do it.
My other problem is about hyphenation, because lyx sometimes can't
hyphenate correctly in Turkish, although it is the best among others.
But I can solve it with manual hyphenation points or turning it off
completely. Consider this paragraph as a bug report about Turkish
hyphenation .
And my most important problem, Lyx (and also Wordperfect 8.0, but not
Staroffice 5.0) sometimes (mostly in long documents >10 page) make
spacing errors in the first or second line of some pages of the
document. In some pages of the document, which are mainly the pages
which doesn't have a chapter, section, or likes on the top of the page,
mostly the first but sometimes the second line of the page (only one of
them not two together) doesn't fit to the right margin and go off the
page from the right. I have hit this bug when using block justification
in my document. When I checked the PS output I saw that the spacing
arguments (I dont know how to read PS output but I guessed with trial
and error) for the spacing between the words for this line was
considerably greater then the correct lines. I edited the PS output to
print a correct page but I can't do this every time for a thesis of >100
pages every time I make a change...
And a little question. How can I change the spacing for a Chapter
heading. I want it to have less space at the top part. Should I have a
new style for it or is it valid if I change the definition in
stdsections.inc (I tried but I couldn't do it). Where can I find
diffrent style files other than AMC, etc?
