Re: Creating an URL
I would like to have a link as HTML link (as above) upon export
to HTML, but on the other hand the URL should be _printed_ when
the document is converted to DVI/PS/PDF/... In other words:
HTML should give
a href=http://x.y.zMy Link/a
DVI/PS should give
My Link (http://x.y.z)
(or a similar format)
I'm sure that it can be done (in fact, I was expecting LyX to do
that with Insert-URL), but how?
Put the following in the preamble:

side-by-side minipages
I need to group some bits of text into little clumps, each clump is two or three lines, and I need the clumps to be placed two or three to a line. Per the example at the top of pg 106 of Lamport's LaTeX 2nd ed, I thought putting each clump in its own minipage should do the job. But LyX always seems to want to move each minipage down the page, rather than putting them side-by-side. I've spaced each minipage with just enough length for its respective text, and there's plenty of width on the paper. I can get side-by-side placement if I enclose a group of paragraphs in a single minipage and use a multicols environment within that minipage, but then I can't specify the widths of the clumps of text, and multicol wants to spread them out too much, wants to equalize the column widths. How can I get something like this? aaa bbb AA BB ccc dddeee C DD TIA (LyX 1.1.5fix1) Jim

cm fonts
maybe that this is intersting for someone ... Herbert = CM-Super font package version 0.1 (September 18, 2001) Copyright (c) 2001 Vladimir Volovich [EMAIL PROTECTED]. See the file PUBLIC (Aladdin Free Public License) for license conditions. As a special exception, permission is granted to include these font programs in a Postscript or PDF file that consists of a document that contains text to be displayed or printed using these fonts, regardless of the conditions or license applying to the document itself. The CM-super package contains type1 fonts converted from METAFONT fonts and covers entire EC/TC and LH fonts (Computer Modern font families). All european and cyrillic writings are covered. Each Type1 font program contains ALL glyphs from the following encodings: T1, TS1, T2A, T2B, T2C, X2, and also Adobe StandardEncoding (582 glyphs per non-SC font and 465 glyphs per SC font), and could be reencoded to any of these encodings using standard dvips or pdftex facilities (the corresponding support files are also included). I.e., these type1 fonts could be used as an immediate replacement for LaTeX's EC, TC, and LH fonts to create Postscript and PDF documents with vector fonts (i.e. no changes to your LaTeX documents are required to use these fonts once you have them installed). You could also prepare EPS or PDF illustrations in your favorite applications with texts written using these fonts, and then include them in your LaTeX documents. These fonts could be used not only in TeX-related applications, but also as all other Type1 text fonts, e.g. in Windows (and you will be able to typeset multilingual texts using them). Font file names correspond to the scheme used in EC fonts, with the first two letters sf (super font) instead of ec. E.g., sfrm1000.pfb contains all glyphs from: ecrm1000, tcrm1000, larm1000, lbrm1000, lcrm1000, rxrm1000. Fonts were created with using textrace (based on autotrace and Ghostscript), t1utils and a bunch of Perl scripts, and were optimized and hinted using FontLab 3.1 provided by FontLab Ltd. The set of UniqueID values was registered at Adobe. It appears that careless approach to FontLab's optimisation and auto-hinting facilities could lead to loss of quality of the original font (some glyph shapes could be broken), so we used the most precise optimisation, and hope that optimised and hinted fonts are indeed better than original traced fonts (also, they are significantly smaller in size). So far, we did not find any bugs in optimized fonts. Note that a small number of (fortunately, rately used) fonts are not included yet because of the bugs in EC font drivers which prevented their generation. We plan to provide these missing fonts soon. (Currently there are 376 Type1 font files here, of total 401.) The CM-Super package could be freely downloaded from ftp://ftp.vsu.ru/pub/tex/font-packs/cm-super/ (and soon from CTAN) (see also ftp://ftp.vsu.ru/pub/tex/README for a list of mirrors) The size of the entire package is about 54Mb. To install this package in teTeX or TeX Live systems, copy all type1 fonts (*.pfb files) to .../texmf/fonts/type1/public/cm-super/ directory and install the MAP (*.map) and ENC (*.enc) files to their usual place (e.g. under .../texms/dvips/cm-super/), and instruct dvips and pdftex to use these MAP files (e.g. using the updmap script). Do not forget to update the texmf filename database (run mktexlsr).

In math mode, if you insert a superscript using the 'insert special character' menu, the cursor leaves math mode before inserting the superscript.

Problem including a pstex-file into document - tried every possible solution in the manuals
NOTE: This mail is a copy of an older one I found on this list. Since I did
not find any solution, and my problem is exactly the same, I took the liberty
of posting it again.
Hi everyone,
I am running LyX 1.1.6fix2 on Red Hat 6.2
I am trying to include a figure, which I saved in XFIG as two files: the
postscript, and the text part. According to the manual I only need to
import the text file as (INSERT-INCLUDE FILE with the use as include
option flag) I got an error.
can't write on file '/mydirectory/test.aux
Please type another output filename
I didn't define an output file, it must have been LyX itself.
If I instead of the absolute file path just write test.pstext_t,
everything seems ok at first, but only the caption shows up, not the figure.
The I tried the following according to a footnote in the users manual
I added a line like
\@namedef{Gin@rule@ps_tex}#1{{eps}{ps_tex}{#1}}
in the file /usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/dvips.def. Then added
pstex to the extension:
\def\Gin@extensions{eps, ps, pstex, eps.gz, ps.gz, eps=2EZ}
Unfortuantely it didn't solve my problem either.
Does anybody have an idea how to do this?

Anders G

Lyx error when insert postscript figure
Hi, I am a somewhat new user to Lyx. Here is what I am trying to do. I have a postscript files that are generated by a program I wrote. The postscript containts only figure like boxes, and some text. I tried to insert that figure in a Lyx for me to write report. I do Insert, Figure. The postscript figure renders OK, but when I tried to print (either to printer direcly or to a file), I always got errors (it sayd There are error in your document or something like that), and can't print. I am pretty sure my postscript files are OK, because I can open them using something like ghostscript or ghostview. I tried also to do ps2ps to my postscript file, and then use the output to be included in Lyx. This attempts make Lyx renders OK, print without error, but only prints blank. Any help on this? I could send the postscript files to see if someone can include it in one's Lyx. I use Lyx version 1.1.6 fix3 rpm, and Redhat Linux 7.1 Thanks in advance. Reuben D. Budiardja

Logo/header on letters?
Howdy! I tried writing letters using koma-script and I like the output a lot! The only thing I'd need to add would be a custom header (e.g. EPS) on each page containing a logo, contact-address and a footer containing bank account info. Is it e.g. possible to define an EPS that is put in the background of each page? Ragnar

See the file PUBLIC (Aladdin Free Public License) for license conditions. As a special exception, permission is granted to include these font programs in a Postscript or PDF file that consists of a document that contains text to be displayed or printed using these fonts, regardless of the conditions or license applying to the document itself. The CM-super package contains type1 fonts converted from METAFONT fonts and covers entire EC/TC and LH fonts (Computer Modern font families). All european and cyrillic writings are covered. Each Type1 font program contains ALL glyphs from the following encodings: T1, TS1, T2A, T2B, T2C, X2, and also Adobe StandardEncoding (582 glyphs per non-SC font and 465 glyphs per SC font), and could be reencoded to any of these encodings using standard dvips or pdftex facilities (the corresponding support files are also included). I.e., these type1 fonts could be used as an immediate replacement for LaTeX's EC, TC, and LH fonts to create Postscript and PDF documents with vector fonts (i.e. no changes to your LaTeX documents are required to use these fonts once you have them installed). You could also prepare EPS or PDF illustrations in your favorite applications with texts written using these fonts, and then include them in your LaTeX documents. These fonts could be used not only in TeX-related applications, but also as all other Type1 text fonts, e.g. in Windows (and you will be able to typeset multilingual texts using them). Font file names correspond to the scheme used in EC fonts, with the first two letters sf (super font) instead of ec. E.g., sfrm1000.pfb contains all glyphs from: ecrm1000, tcrm1000, larm1000, lbrm1000, lcrm1000, rxrm1000. Fonts were created with using textrace (based on autotrace and Ghostscript), t1utils and a bunch of Perl scripts, and were optimized and hinted using FontLab 3.1 provided by FontLab Ltd. The set of UniqueID values was registered at Adobe. It appears that careless approach to FontLab's optimisation and auto-hinting facilities could lead to loss of quality of the original font (some glyph shapes could be broken), so we used the most precise optimisation, and hope that optimised and hinted fonts are indeed better than original traced fonts (also, they are significantly smaller in size). So far, we did not find any bugs in optimized fonts. Note that a small number of (fortunately, rately used) fonts are not included yet because of the bugs in EC font drivers which prevented their generation. We plan to provide these missing fonts soon. (Currently there are 376 Type1 font files here, of total 401.) The CM-Super package could be freely downloaded from ftp://ftp.vsu.ru/pub/tex/font-packs/cm-super/ (and soon from CTAN) (see also ftp://ftp.vsu.ru/pub/tex/README for a list of mirrors) The size of the entire package is about 54Mb. To install this package in teTeX or TeX Live systems, copy all type1 fonts (*.pfb files) to .../texmf/fonts/type1/public/cm-super/ directory and install the MAP (*.map) and ENC (*.enc) files to their usual place (e.g. under .../texms/dvips/cm-super/), and instruct dvips and pdftex to use these MAP files (e.g. using the updmap script).

Problem including a pstex-file into document - tried every possible solution in the manuals
NOTE: This mail is a copy of an older one I found on this list. Since I did
not find any solution, and my problem is exactly the same, I took the liberty
of posting it again.
Hi everyone,
I am running LyX 1.1.6fix2 on Red Hat 6.2
I am trying to include a figure, which I saved in XFIG as two files: the
postscript, and the text part. According to the manual I only need to
import the text file as (INSERT-INCLUDE FILE with the use as include
option flag) I got an error.
can't write on file '/mydirectory/test.aux
Please type another output filename
I didn't define an output file, it must have been LyX itself.
If I instead of the absolute file path just write test.pstext_t,
everything seems ok at first, but only the caption shows up, not the figure.
The I tried the following according to a footnote in the users manual
I added a line like
\@namedef{Gin@rule@ps_tex}#1{{eps}{ps_tex}{#1}}
in the file /usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/dvips.def. Then added
pstex to the extension:
\def\Gin@extensions{eps, ps, pstex, eps.gz, ps.gz, eps=2EZ}
Unfortuantely it didn't solve my problem either.
Does anybody have an idea how to do this?

Anders G

Lyx error when insert postscript figure
Hi, I am a somewhat new user to Lyx. Here is what I am trying to do. I have a postscript files that are generated by a program I wrote. The postscript containts only figure like boxes, and some text. I tried to insert that figure in a Lyx for me to write report. I do Insert, Figure. The postscript figure renders OK, but when I tried to print (either to printer direcly or to a file), I always got errors (it sayd There are error in your document or something like that), and can't print. I am pretty sure my postscript files are OK, because I can open them using something like ghostscript or ghostview. I tried also to do ps2ps to my postscript file, and then use the output to be included in Lyx. This attempts make Lyx renders OK, print without error, but only prints blank. Any help on this? I could send the postscript files to see if someone can include it in one's Lyx. I use Lyx version 1.1.6 fix3 rpm, and Redhat Linux 7.1 Thanks in advance. Reuben D. Budiardja

I am sorry, I understood wrong (i.e. I missed the "Where PATH is the path to
the directory of the master file ..." part of Dekels message.)
I just tried with relative pathnames but came to the conclusion that this
will not work when compiling in a temporary directory. (i.e. the

temporary directory for compiling (uncheck Edit|Options|Input|temp-dir)

side-by-side minipages
I need to group some bits of text into little clumps, each clump is two or three lines, and I need the clumps to be placed two or three to a line. Per the example at the top of pg 106 of Lamport's LaTeX 2nd ed, I thought putting each clump in its own minipage should do the job. But LyX always seems to want to move each minipage down the page, rather than putting them side-by-side. I've spaced each minipage with just enough length for its respective text, and there's plenty of width on the paper. I can get side-by-side placement if I enclose a group of paragraphs in a single minipage and use a multicols environment within that minipage, but then I can't specify the widths of the clumps of text, and multicol wants to spread them out too much, wants to equalize the column widths. How can I get something like this? aaa bbb AA BB ccc dddeee C DD TIA (LyX 1.1.5fix1) Jim

CM-Super font package
version 0.1 (September 18, 2001)
Copyright (c) 2001 Vladimir Volovich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
See the file PUBLIC (Aladdin Free Public License) for license
conditions.
As a special exception, permission is granted to include these font
programs in a Postscript or PDF file that consists of a document that
contains text to be displayed or printed using these fonts, regardless
of the conditions or license applying to the document itself.
The CM-super package contains type1 fonts converted from METAFONT
fonts and covers entire EC/TC and LH fonts (Computer Modern font
families). All european and cyrillic writings are covered. Each Type1
font program contains ALL glyphs from the following encodings: T1,
TS1, T2A, T2B, T2C, X2, and also Adobe StandardEncoding (582 glyphs
per non-SC font and 465 glyphs per SC font), and could be reencoded to
any of these encodings using standard dvips or pdftex facilities (the
corresponding support files are also included).
I.e., these type1 fonts could be used as an immediate replacement for
LaTeX's EC, TC, and LH fonts to create Postscript and PDF documents
with vector fonts (i.e. no changes to your LaTeX documents are
required to use these fonts once you have them installed). You could
also prepare EPS or PDF illustrations in your favorite applications
with texts written using these fonts, and then include them in your
LaTeX documents. These fonts could be used not only in TeX-related
applications, but also as all other Type1 text fonts, e.g. in Windows
(and you will be able to typeset multilingual texts using them).
Font file names correspond to the scheme used in EC fonts, with the
first two letters "sf" ("super font") instead of "ec".
E.g., sfrm1000.pfb contains all glyphs from:
ecrm1000, tcrm1000, larm1000, lbrm1000, lcrm1000, rxrm1000.
Fonts were created with using textrace (based on autotrace and
Ghostscript), t1utils and a bunch of Perl scripts, and were optimized
and hinted using FontLab 3.1 provided by FontLab Ltd. The set of
UniqueID values was registered at Adobe.
It appears that careless approach to FontLab's optimisation and
auto-hinting facilities could lead to loss of quality of the original
font (some glyph shapes could be broken), so we used the most precise
optimisation, and hope that optimised and hinted fonts are indeed
better than original traced fonts (also, they are significantly
smaller in size). So far, we did not find any bugs in optimized fonts.
Note that a small number of (fortunately, rately used) fonts are not
included yet because of the bugs in EC font drivers which prevented
their generation. We plan to provide these missing fonts soon.
(Currently there are 376 Type1 font files here, of total 401.)
The CM-Super package could be freely downloaded from
ftp://ftp.vsu.ru/pub/tex/font-packs/cm-super/
(and soon from CTAN)
(see also ftp://ftp.vsu.ru/pub/tex/README for a list of mirrors)
The size of the entire package is about 54Mb.
To install this package in teTeX or TeX Live systems, copy all type1
fonts (*.pfb files) to .../texmf/fonts/type1/public/cm-super/
directory and install the MAP (*.map) and ENC (*.enc) files to their
usual place (e.g. under .../texms/dvips/cm-super/), and instruct dvips
and pdftex to use these MAP files (e.g. using the "updmap" script).
Do not forget to update the texmf filename database (run mktexlsr).
Although this package is provided AS IS, WITHOUT WARRANTY (as
explained in the file PUBLIC), we request your comments and bug
reports which should be sent to the email address given above.
Happy TeXing!
TODO:
* provide AFM and INF files
* provide optimized but not hinted version (will be smaller)?
* include glyphs from TS1 encoding into SC fonts? (useful for non-TeX
applications)
* add glyphs from T2D encoding
* add all other glyphs from LH fonts
* full support for unicode cyrillic codepage
* include glyphs from cbgreek ec-like fonts
* add CM Concrete family

I'm sorry I forgot to precise that. In math mode, if you insert a superscript using the 'insert special character' menu, the cursor leaves math mode before inserting the superscript. As a consequence, you insert the superscript *before* your character (i.e. before your math inset). Note that "^" works anyway.

Problem including a pstex-file into document - tried every possible solution in the manuals
NOTE: This mail is a copy of an older one I found on this list. Since I did
not find any solution, and my problem is exactly the same, I took the liberty
of posting it again.
Hi everyone,
I am running LyX 1.1.6fix2 on Red Hat 6.2
I am trying to include a figure, which I saved in XFIG as two files: the
postscript, and the text part. According to the manual I only need to
import the text file as (INSERT-INCLUDE FILE with the "use as include
option flag") I got an error.
can't write on file '//test.aux
Please type another output filename
I didn't define an output file, it must have been LyX itself.
If I instead of the absolute file path just write "test.pstext_t",
everything seems ok at first, but only the caption shows up, not the figure.
The I tried the following according to a footnote in the users manual
I added a line like
\@namedef{Gin@rule@ps_tex}#1{{eps}{ps_tex}{#1}}
in the file /usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/dvips.def. Then added
"pstex" to the extension:
\def\Gin@extensions{eps, ps, pstex, eps.gz, ps.gz, eps=2EZ}
Unfortuantely it didn't solve my problem either.
Does anybody have an idea how to do this?
Regards,
Anders G

I think it is not possible but perhaps i have to change some settings. With XWIN32 you can copy text from a WIN32 application and past it with the middle mouse key in Lyx. Jörg

Bibliography neophyte
I am working on my dissertation and assemblying my bibliography. I need a format similar to this. Howard., R. 1960. Dynamic Programming and Markov Processes. M.I.T. Press. Cambridge, MA. I can not find a BibTex style that is close to that in my present set up. A harvard.sty looks close, but how do I install it? I was able to track down a copy harvard.sty but where do I install it and how do I get the system to recognize it? Where can I find other bibtex .bst files? I am still in the neophyte stage, but I am at least at the point where I know enough to ask a question. Thanks Kent Kostuk [EMAIL PROTECTED]
LyX Package for Caldera Open LINUX 3.1
Hi, I switched from RedHat 6.2 on a TOSHIBA TECRA 750 DVD to Caldera Open LINUX 3.1 on a IBM Think Pad T22. I'm using LyX for all my private documents for quite a while now and am very satisfied (1.1.6pre1). So I would like to continue using it on my new laptop. Can anybody indicate a package for the most recent LyX version for my new system? Thanks a lot Hellmut And many thanks to the developpers for their great work!!! §;-))

Lyx error when insert postscript figure
Hi, I am a somewhat new user to Lyx. Here is what I am trying to do. I have a postscript files that are generated by a program I wrote. The postscript containts only figure like boxes, and some text. I tried to insert that figure in a Lyx for me to write report. I do Insert, Figure. The postscript figure renders OK, but when I tried to print (either to printer direcly or to a file), I always got errors (it sayd "There are error in your document" or something like that), and can't print. I am pretty sure my postscript files are OK, because I can open them using something like ghostscript or ghostview. I tried also to do ps2ps to my postscript file, and then use the output to be included in Lyx. This attempts make Lyx renders OK, print without error, but only prints blank. Any help on this? I could send the postscript files to see if someone can include it in one's Lyx. I use Lyx version 1.1.6 fix3 rpm, and Redhat Linux 7.1 Thanks in advance. Reuben D. Budiardja
