Just compiled it under Linux and was very happy to see that y’all fixed the 
chonky (specifically, overly wide) toolbars you’d get under beta5 when you 
affixed them to the left edge of the window! They're svelte now, just as they 
are under MacOS.

Icon "padding"

[Christopher Menzel]

LyX folk:

There is a significant difference in the "padding" around the icons in 
2.4.0-beta3 compared to 2.3.7. The difference is particularly stark when 
comparing 2.3.7 under MacOS 

 and 2.4.0-beta3 under Linux 

 (although there is still a pronounced difference between the MacOS versions); 
click the preceding links for screenshots — in both cases the icon size is set 
to "Normal". To my eye, there is way too much padding in the beta, and the 
2.3.7 MacOS version gets it about right and I can't help but think that most 
folks would agree, at least with regard to the excessiveness of the padding in 
the beta. Is this something that might be addressed before the public release?

Thanks.

Alt/Option key question

[Christopher Menzel]

Gentle LyX folk:

I use the Emacs UI for LyX, which means the Option key (or Alt key, for PC 
users) gets a good workout — e.g., Opt-D deletes word-forward, Opt-F moves the 
cursor forward by word, etc. (In the standard LyX UI, those keys bring up the 
File and Document menus, respectively, so I disable that behavior with a custom 
stdmenus.inc file.) My issue is this. If I just depress the Option key and 
release it without having hit another key, it steals the cursor — it’s 
apparently waiting for an F or a D or one of the other keys (which I’ve 
deactivated) that bring up a menu — and I have to depress the Option key and 
let it up again to get the cursor back. This is a bit irritating: I often find 
myself depressing the Option key absent-mindedly when I’m thinking and it’s 
annoying to start typing and have nothing happen. Thus my question: Is there a 
way to prevent this, so that depressing/releasing the Option key simply has no 
effect on the cursor? Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: About upgrading to MacOS 13

[Christopher Menzel]

Hi Daniel,

I have used LyX 2.3.6.2 under Ventura and did find that it crashed regularly. 
Since the version on LyX.org is still only compiled for Intel, perhaps Rosetta 
is the problem.

And just to note, in case it is helpful: if you are familiar with Linux and 
have, or don’t mind purchasing, a Parallels 18 subscription, LyX 2.3.6.2 
(together with the Okular PDF viewer) is wonderfully snappy and stable running 
in a Linux VM under Ventura.

Compile fail

[Christopher Menzel]

LyX folk:

I’ve successfully compiled LyX from sources under Linux but my attempts to do 
so under MacOS for my M1 Macs (since I don’t want to use Rosetta 2). I 
installed QT5 using homebrew and I’m using what seem to me to be the right 
flags for the configure script, viz.,

  % ./configure --enable-qt5 --with-version-suffix=-2.3 --with-x=no 
--with-qt-dir=/opt/homebrew/opt/qt5/

but I keep getting the following error:

> checking for Qt library name... failed

> configure: error: cannot compile a simple Qt executable. Check you have the 
> right $QTDIR.

I’ve tried adding both “bin” and “lib” to the QT5 path but to no avail. I can’t 
afford to spend a ton of time on this but if there is something easy and 
obvious I’m missing that might solve the problem I’d appreciate hearing about 
it!

Huh. Unlike the macOS version, apparently. Why the difference with the Windows

The need to create lyxeditor.cmd is only mentioned in the section on Okular for 
Windows. That one needs to create it oneself is as far as I can see not 
mentioned in the section on configuring SumatraPDF, which is the PDF viewer I'm 
using. Might the Keepers of the Wiki consider mentioning the need to create 
this script right at the top of the section on SumatraPDF.

Thanks for the info!

I've said it before but it bears regular repeating: thanks (again) Richard and

Lower case mathcal

[Christopher Menzel]

Dear LyX folk,

Quick question — what would it take to get display support for lower case 
calligraphic letters, which you can get in your rendered PDF via a package like 
BOONDOX-cal. Currently, typing lower case letters inside a \mathcal tag in math 
mode generates a seemingly random selection of symbols. Even just being able to 
see ordinary lower case letters, even if not calligraphic, would be preferable. 
A reasonably good workaround here is to use instant preview mode, but that's 
still less than ideal.

Just wondering; this is obviously not a major problem but it would be cool if 
there was a reasonably easy fix.

Chris Menzel

ps: LyX 2.2alpha with its support for retina displays is amazingly great! Many 
thanks to Stephan Witt and the other developers for their talent and their 
commitment this truly wonderful and extraordinarily useful software.

Re: Does LyX work with MBP Retina screen?

[Christopher Menzel]

Bummer! I remember this being a Qt problem years ago that was fixed and now 
appears to be have been reintroduced. Any possibility the OS X binaries for LyX 
2.2 (when it's ready) can be created with an older version that doesn't have 
this problem? And if you can make the version you created with Qt 4.8 available 
I'd appreciate it!

Re: Retina support

[Christopher Menzel]

Having installed LyX on a 5k iMac I can report that, even without retina 
support, LyX screen fonts still look quite good, especially if you crank 
the resolution up a notch from the default 2560x1440 to the next fixed 
option of 2880x1620 (ironic quotes because the number of actual pixels 
per resolution point at 2560x1440 is 4 to 1, making for incredibly 
sharp text). Sitting a reasonable distance from the screen and using 
Minion Pro as the screen font (major props to Kieran Healy 
http://kieranhealy.org/blog/archives/2012/11/10/installing-minion-pro/) there 
is virtually no perception of the slight fuzziness and pixelation 
visible at very close range.

I have a couple of questions concerning LyX on the new 5k iMac.

1. Stephan Witt had noted some time ago that Retina support was in 
development for LyX. Does anyone have a reasonable sense of the ETA 
for such support in an OS X binary?


2. Despite some screen font blurriness up close, I find LyX to be 
quite usable on my rMBP. My thought is that the appearance should be 
pretty much the same on the iMac given that iMac's pixel density is 
almost identical to the rMBP — indeed, the latter's is slightly higher 
(226 vs 216 ppi). Does that reasoning seem correct? Has anyone 
confirmed/disconfirmed this empirically?

Howdy developers,

LyX 2.0beta1 (dated 10 Nov) crashes consistently when I try to insert a cross 
reference to a labeled lemma, theorem or corollary into a cell of an eqnarray. 
If I try to copy and paste a cross-ref to the relevant lemma/thm/corollary from 
outside the eqnarray into the cell, the text of the label appears in the cell 
as if I've simply typed it in -- e.g., [cor:tau-kappa].  I'm running OS X 
10.6.5 on a Macbook Air.

I'm also using Qt-4.3.1; I don't know if that would make a

Qt-4.3.2 works fine for me.

One question: did you set LDFLAGS?


Yup.  As per the instructions in INSTALL.MacOSX, I used:

export LDFLAGS=-framework Carbon -framework OpenGL -framework AGL - 
framework QuickTime -framework Cocoa


As a last resort, try: make clean ... reconfigure ... make. Does  
that help?


Done that already.  Twice.  Even rebuilt Qt.  :-(

BTW, the link on http://www.lyx.org/devel to the LyX developers  
mailing list on the LyX site is broken (http://www.lyx.org/devel/internet/mailing.php#lyx-devel 
).  Where is the main page for the mailing list?


Thanks.
