I had a (admittedly very quick) view at the amsrefs homepage --- looks very promising. I also read about the database-file being in LaTeX.

this is the default by babel itself. we had a long diskuccion about babel
and the only thing you can do is the one with the preferences.
but you're right, this is not the best way.

I have been fiddling with these fonts for the last week and haven't experienced any problem (in either 1.1.6 or 1.2.0cvs). Go for a font that is well shaped and should be more easily distinquished like Verdana or Helvetica. The attached patch makes the menu font as large as possible within the small the small bounds of the default menu height. This should look like almost double the height of your current menu. As a bonus all the choice boxes in the dialogs are also heaps bigger -- however these changes don't affect the fonts in the dialogs. That is going to be a really tough problem with XForms I think. XForms does have a variable size font setting but I haven't tested to see what effect that has. The changes in the patch could be extended into a Preferences setting but would also require a rewrite of the way the menu bar is draw in LyX. Far too much stuff is hard-coded (like sizes and placement) and other parts of the code also rely upon these assumptions... bad bad bad. This may at least help a bit. Allan.

drawing imports don't work the way I expect
I found the tip on importing xfig drawings http://www.lyx.org/help/xfig/xfig.html as well as Allen Barker's essay referred to there. That essay is nicely done and the steps involved in the various approaches are pretty easy to follow. But it does not work quite the way I expect. I originally wanted to be able to resize drawings without making the text change sizes. When I do eps drawings, the text gets too small or too big if I resize. I think I understand from the tips that this not feasible at all, the best one can do is draw the graph the right size and then there are a couple of strategies for dealing with the text size in the drawing. I THOUGHT (always dangerous!) from the tip sheet that if I use the xfig export as pslatex/ps trick, that I would have a figure in which the text is the same font/size as the surrounding document and the picture part would be fixed. The doc warns that it is important to get the size right in xfig, and I think I understand why. But here's the part I don't get. When I include a pslatex_t file, the image shows, but if I change fontsize in the document, the font size change affects not only the font size in the drawing, but it makes the graph part bigger too. Highlighting a float and changing the character layout to "huger" affects everything, not just text. But I had it drawn correctly at the start. I just want to change the text. So I'm left wondering what's the good of that, if I drew the picture the right size, and only want to adjust the size of the text, where did I fall off the train? I'm rapidly reaching the conclusion that a regular old eps export, from a document that is the right size and with the appopriate font, is the correct way to go.

If res.sty is a package that manipulates a supported document class (like article.cls) then you can probably use reLyX on the command line with the additional parameter "-c article" replacing article by whatever supported class res.sty manipulates. See also `man reLyX`. If res.sty if a latex-2.09 style file you are probably wasting your time. LyX and reLyX only support LaTeX2e -- you can make LyX work with LaTeX-2.09 files by wrapping them up into a LaTeX2e class though. You can tell if your document is a LaTeX-2.09 file or not by running latex on it and seeing if a banner warning you it is using compatability mode comes up. Or grep for "documentstyle" in the .tex file. Otherwise try sending some more context for the error message so someone else can get an idea of what is happening. Allan. (ARRae)
Re: IEEEtran / Babel
Allan,
Thanks for your email.
I tried
\AtBeginDocument{\usepackage{babel}}
in the preferences dialogue, but my IEEE paper still wouldn't compile (LyX
calls LaTeX but LaTeX just seems to hang on its 1st run and I have to kill it)
Excuse my ignorance but what was your reasoning behind suggesting using
\AtBeginDocument{\usepackage{babel}}
instead of
\usepackage{babel}
cheers

Figures
Hi, I have installed Lyx on my Mandrake 8.1 box and everything seems fine when i run the examples or any document that came with Lyx, but i cannot view figures i have placed in a document myself. I can see the picture in the full screen preview when i click on the pictyure but it does not show up in either dvi or pdf format. Also when i insert a figure field i get a superscripted number at the start of the line, but cannot get this number to turn up in the caption. When i label the caption and then put in a refernce in the document to it i get () and then the superscripted number. I have done everything from the tutorial correctly as far as i can tell. Any ideas. Thanks in advance Ryan

Er, I may be missing something here, but if you create a .bst file using
makebst, part of the custbib package, you are given the option of using
either a single leading capital, or using the capitalisation in the .bib
file.
So, your .bib has entries such as
title = {Eltern und Kinder}
Then, depending on your answer to the question makebst asks, you'll get
either
Eltern und kinder
or
Eltern und Kinder
makebst gives you other options then for quotes etc.
Editing .bst files by hand is a thankless task. As far as I can tell,
there are probably 3 people in the world who understand, and I'm
definitely not one of them :)
