choose fancy-headings in layout->document and write
\fanyhead{}
\fancyfoot{}

this should delete the defaults. have a look at dvi-view.
if everything is okay, means no head, no footer, than you 
can add the special ones for your own header and footer.

This works in that "Figure" disappears.  However I also 
wanted to get rid of the numbering.  Sorry I should have
said that the first time.  Note that sometimes I do this
within a figure float (when I use PS/LaTex combined format)

I think this would work if I could set \pagestyle{myheadings}
but the foiltex document class doesn't seem to allow it.

The foilTex document class lets me set pageformat to fancy
in the layout document menu.  Alas it still prints the
page in the center of the footer after I try the command
you suggest.  In fact it then prints the page number two
or three times.

For now I think I will just have to live 
with the page number printed
in the center of the footer in black.

Perhaps there's a way to change the size of the page number?

thanks for you help.  

When I have time I'll figure out a way to do this and let
you know hows it can be done.

thanks for the patch. all the following commands need \protect too:

\overleftrightarrow
\underrightarrow
\underleftarrow
\underleftrightarrow

i don't know if it's possible for lyx to test for every (!) 
captionstyle : part, chapter, section  because they have
the same problem with an unprotected latex-command. And
\addtocontents
\addcontentsline
\markboth
\markright
and some others too.

You can use the attached patch that fixes this problem.
If you can not use the patch, a workaround for the problem is to type
\protect before the overrightarrow.

have a look at 
~/.lyx/bind/emacs.bind   

\bind "C-x g"  "buffer-view-ps"
\bind "C-x C-g""buffer-view-ps"

or
~/.lyx/bind/menus.bind 

\bind "M-f w"   "buffer-view-ps"

it's possible to create an own key-bindung.

LyX as a filter ?

Is there a way to invoke LyX as a filter ? I'd

   lyx -something < doc.lyx > doc.tex

Thanks for any help.

I use Alt-f u (to update) or Alt-f w (to create it from scratch)

[Q] Fonts generation

2000-08-01 Thread Osvaldo Fornaro

Hi, list

I have a little question (maybe a LaTeX one) about fonts generation.
I Installed from scratch (on a new machine) LaTeX 1.0 and LyX 1.1.5.
When I run LyX to preview a document using xdvi the fonts are building
once, but using kdvi are rebuilding each time the dvi viewer is used.
Someone know something about this?

Thanks in advance.

The regex.h exists (seems to be from gcc 2.8.1 installation), but
there are some conflicts. We should maybe try to link a simple

Hello,

THansk for the information. Two things you might want to try:

- in src/support/LRegex.C, move the line
  #include "LRegex.h"
just after 
  #include 
(I'm not sure why this would work, but let's try)

- if this fails, try to comment out the line
#define HAVE_REGEX_H
in src/config.h

Please tell me what happens.

define your own captionstyle and everything works!

\newcommand\myCaption[1]{\small\refstepcounter{figure}%
   \centering\figurename\ \thefigure :\ #1}

in the float (!) choose paragraphstyle standard instead of
captionstyle and write
\myCaption{...the captiontext ...}

myCaption is only needful for captions with special math-symbols
or special commands. counting of figure is continuing.

on the other hand it's possible to work with a trick:
run from lyx dvi-view once without your mathsymbol
\overrightarray. the dvi-output than works and every
dvi-update too, you can ignore the latex-error when you
insert now your math-symbol.

overline and tilde works because they are not build with
special commands like overrightarrow. \vec{a} works also!
