In Fedora 8 Linux, I'm using the TexLive version of latex that is now available fore testing. I can ask there about this trouble, but I'm pretty sure they will send me back here to ask "why does LyX do that?".
The problem: I get weird output. In a simple document created from
the default everything--with no fancy features-- no preface items
inserted by me, then I have the problem that the xvi and pdf output is
"jumbled". Instead of the default characters, the type font that is
used looks like an old Courier typewriter, but the characters are not
evenly spaced. Some are typed on top of each other, some have extra
spaces between them. I'm attaching this small lyx file to this note,
wondering if anybody sees something funny about it.
I output the lyx document to latex for experimentation, and I cut
lines from the pre-amble until the document came out correct. In all
of the troublesome files, the problem seems to be this one line:
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
What is it? What is latin9?
When I run "pdflatex newfile1.tex", I see a lot of messages like this:
pdfTeX warning: pdflatex (file /var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.ma
p): ambiguous entry for `ebbx10': font file present but not included, will be t
reated as font file not present
pdfTeX warning: pdflatex (file /var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.ma
p): ambiguous entry for `ebmo10': font file present but not included, will be t
reated as font file not present
...
Back tracking, I note no errors in the latex run, but when I view the
dvi file the output looks like hell, and in the terminal I see:
$ xdvi newfile1.dvi
xdvi-xaw3d.bin: Warning: Font map calls for ecrm1200, but it was not
found (will try PK version instead).
xdvi-xaw3d.bin: Warning: Font map calls for ecrm1728, but it was not
found (will try PK version instead).
xdvi-xaw3d.bin: Warning: Font map calls for ecrm1000, but it was not
found (will try PK version instead).
After I delete that preamble line about latin9 input encoding, then
the document processes correctly! Looks great!
What do you think? Where is "latin9" coming from?
