more fonts in the font menu?
Hi, A couple of questions: 1. Is it possible to have the menu for Fonts in Layout-Document show more fonts if they are installed and available? If yes, then what's the procedure? If no, then is this going to be part of 1.2.0? 2. Will it be possible to select parts of the text and change the font in the next release? Right now, using Layout-Character, one can change the family and shape etc. but not the font itself. (I had a similar question abt entries in tables and was told that that's been taken care of in 1.2.0) Thanks, nirmal
Bibtex in contents and ligatures
I'm having a small problem with lyx. I'm using a bibtex generated
bibliography and I'm trying to get it in the Contents. But using
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}
doesn't work because putting it before the bibtex label makes it
reference a page before the bibliography and putting it after the label
changes it to the last page of the bibliography. Is there another way to
get it in the contents with the right page number ?
I also want to turn off the use of ligatures. And I mean completely
turned off for the entire document, so not putting the \/ combination in
between them.
Thanks for your help.

LyX 1.2pre4 Image File Extension
I am a LyX novice but in 1.1.6 versions, it appeared that a practice was to specify graphic files without mentioning suffix so that if one preconverted their files to the various formats that the underlying tools needed, every thing would use it's preferred extension. In 1.2pre4 just compiled, it appears that image specifications that are without the suffix (say .eps) don't get discovered by LyX for rendering. In other words, specifying the image IMG expecting LyX to pick up IMG.eps and latex2html to pickup IMG.jpg . Is this something that is no longer best (or even allowed) practice and eliminated or ??? I am not fighting for the feature by the way, just reporting a difference and asking intent. I can see both sides of the choice.

No labels in math panel (1.2pre4)
Hi, (1.2pre4) Is it normal that many of the menus in the math panel have not labels, like the one containing \bowtie, the one containing \longmapsto, the one with \biguplus, etc. ? I have empty gray buttons only (which work normally: clicking them they open the corresponding table of math symbols.) Best, Laszlo Szabo -- Laszlo E.

more fonts in the font menu?
Hi, A couple of questions: 1. Is it possible to have the menu for Fonts in Layout->Document show more fonts if they are installed and available? If yes, then what's the procedure? If no, then is this going to be part of 1.2.0? 2. Will it be possible to select parts of the text and change the font in the next release? Right now, using Layout->Character, one can change the family and shape etc. but not the font itself. (I had a similar question abt entries in tables and was told that that's been taken care of in 1.2.0) Thanks, nirmal
Bibtex in contents and ligatures
I'm having a small problem with lyx. I'm using a bibtex generated
bibliography and I'm trying to get it in the Contents. But using
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}
doesn't work because putting it before the bibtex label makes it
reference a page before the bibliography and putting it after the label
changes it to the last page of the bibliography. Is there another way to
get it in the contents with the right page number ?
I also want to turn off the use of ligatures. And I mean completely
turned off for the entire document, so not putting the \/ combination in
between them.
Thanks for your help.

not possible. But you can choose a font without ligatures.

That's not very configurable of latex.

I'm using TX fonts at the moment, is it easy to remove the character
from the fonts? By changing the font map for instance, or is that not
something I want to try if I'm in a hurry? :-)

than it's the same like the book class
put the cursor before the above command and
do layout->paragraph->pagebreak before!

Thanks! I had to add braces before the command and after the bib in
order to keep the change from affecting the appendices, but after that
it worked perfectly.

See "Using different Fonts in LyX" at http://www.bilkent.edu.tr/~robin Thanks for the link Robin.. I guess ERT is the only way then.. (which isn't too bad I guess).. my main problem (one that I've posted to the list earlier) right now is that I like CM fonts and though CM looks great on the screen, these appear a bit light on paper when printed with a 600dpi printer. I wonder if there's a way to make it a bit thicker... maybe the METAFONT book will have some tips.. I'll take a look at it over the summer... Thanks, nirmal

LyX 1.2pre4 Image File Extension
I am a LyX novice but in 1.1.6 versions, it appeared that a practice was to specify graphic files without mentioning suffix so that if one preconverted their files to the various formats that the underlying tools needed, every thing would use it's preferred extension. In 1.2pre4 just compiled, it appears that image specifications that are without the suffix (say .eps) don't get discovered by LyX for rendering. In other words, specifying the image "IMG" expecting LyX to pick up IMG.eps and latex2html to pickup IMG.jpg . Is this something that is no longer best (or even allowed) practice and eliminated or ??? I am not fighting for the feature by the way, just reporting a difference and asking intent. I can see both sides of the choice. I do see hints in NEWS that perhaps less of this practice is necessary due to additional image support in LyX. If this is "by design" you might wish to mention it in the UPGRADING file. Dave -- David G. Green [EMAIL PROTECTED] UAB Electrical and Computer Engineering Birmingham, AL USA
