Re: [Lyx 1.2.1] Problems with foiltex and pdflatex

I haven't used foiltex for about 6 months, but every so often, a landscape page or pages would have no left side margin. I never was able to resolve the problem. I was able to go into the postscript code and manually fix it (which is a pain). It appears that some how the margin instructions on some landscape pages get mangled when using foiltex when creating the postscript. This was with LyX 1.1.6 or earlier. I haven't used foiltex with 1.2.1 but it appears from what you are saying there is still a problem. Thank you for your response, I had plenty of time the last days that's because my response is a little late. Yes it seems to be a problem with foiltex. Sometimes when I change the page format from landscape to portrait, the printer produces rubbish. I tried out seminar.sty but now I got a similar problem: I have some foils in landscape format and some in portrait format. I nested the enveroments with lyx in the correct way but when I try to view them with kdvi or ggv the slide margins are absoluty incorrect and when I try to print it, all slides are printed in landscape even I set up kdvi to print the slide in portrait mode. Is it not possible to change that? Let's say: First slide = landscape,second slide=portrait, etc? (And got a correct print result of course?) Regards Thorsten

If I do have to remove my current XForms installation and install it from source instead, LyX 1.2.1, which uses my current XForms, might not work anymore, even if I install the new version, right?

lyx on cygwin
Hi guys, I am trying to get lyx working on cygwin so that I can work on my thesis from both linux and windows if I need to. I first tried the tetex package distributed with cygwin. I works on small files. If I throw my thesis on it, it just won't go. The errors are something like tex capacity exceeded. I then tried pfTex or TexLive. That's Windows native. I have big trouble to get it work. First of all, it is missing many basic files like setspace.sty. Also it has a strange koma-script package that needs scrlfile.sty and it doesn't even have it. When I run reconfig from lyx within the cygwin shell, I saw some errors.I am not sure if it is possible to just drop in the lyx files from a linux system to expect work in that environment. I have all my paths the unix-way, eg. /usr/ Can anyone give me advice on which one I should fix? Should I fix the tetex package comes with cygwin? If so, how do I fix that error: tex capacity exceeded. If the other one is better, anyone had experience with that pfTex? Thanks. Max

I haven't used foiltex for about 6 months, but every so often, a landscape page or pages would have no left side margin. I never was able to resolve the problem.

It appears that some how the margin instructions on some landscape pages get mangled when using foiltex when creating the postscript. This was with LyX 1.1.6 or earlier. I haven't used foiltex with 1.2.1 but it appears from what you are saying there is still a problem. Thank you for your response, I had plenty of time the last days that's because my response is a little late. Yes it seems to be a problem with foiltex. Sometimes when I change the page format from landscape to portrait, the printer produces rubbish. I tried out seminar.sty but now I got a similar problem: I have some foils in landscape format and some in portrait format. I nested the enveroments with lyx in the correct way but when I try to view them with kdvi or ggv the slide margins are absoluty incorrect and when I try to print it, all slides are printed in landscape even I set up kdvi to print the slide in portrait mode. Is it not possible to change that? Let's say: First slide = landscape,second slide=portrait, etc? (And got a correct print result of course?) Regards Thorsten

lyx on cygwin
Hi guys, I am trying to get lyx working on cygwin so that I can work on my thesis from both linux and windows if I need to. I first tried the tetex package distributed with cygwin. I works on small files. If I throw my thesis on it, it just won't go. The errors are something like tex capacity exceeded. I then tried pfTex or TexLive. That's Windows native. I have big trouble to get it work. First of all, it is missing many basic files like setspace.sty. Also it has a strange koma-script package that needs scrlfile.sty and it doesn't even have it. When I run reconfig from lyx within the cygwin shell, I saw some errors.I am not sure if it is possible to just drop in the lyx files from a linux system to expect work in that environment. I have all my paths the unix-way, eg. /usr/ Can anyone give me advice on which one I should fix? Should I fix the tetex package comes with cygwin? If so, how do I fix that error: tex capacity exceeded. If the other one is better, anyone had experience with that pfTex? Thanks. Max

Thank you for your response, I had plenty of time the last days that's because my response is a little late. Yes it seems to be a problem with foiltex. Sometimes when I change the page format from landscape to portrait, the printer produces rubbish. I tried out seminar.sty but now I got a similar problem: I have some foils in landscape format and some in portrait format. I nested the enveroments with lyx in the correct way but when I try to view them with kdvi or ggv the slide margins are absoluty incorrect and when I try to print it, all slides are printed in landscape even I set up kdvi to print the slide in portrait mode. Is it not possible to change that? Let's say: First slide = landscape,second slide=portrait, etc? (And got a correct print result of course?) Regards Thorsten

If I do have to remove my current XForms installation and install it from source instead, LyX 1.2.1, which uses my current XForms, might not work anymore, even if I install the new version, right?

lyx on cygwin
Hi guys, I am trying to get lyx working on cygwin so that I can work on my thesis from both linux and windows if I need to. I first tried the tetex package distributed with cygwin. I works on small files. If I throw my thesis on it, it just won't go. The errors are something like "tex capacity exceeded". I then tried "pfTex" or TexLive. That's Windows native. I have big trouble to get it work. First of all, it is missing many basic files like setspace.sty. Also it has a strange koma-script package that needs scrlfile.sty and it doesn't even have it. When I run reconfig from lyx within the cygwin shell, I saw some errors.I am not sure if it is possible to just drop in the lyx files from a linux system to expect work in that environment. I have all my paths the unix-way, eg. "/usr/...". Can anyone give me advice on which one I should fix? Should I fix the tetex package comes with cygwin? If so, how do I fix that error: "tex capacity exceeded". If the other one is better, anyone had experience with that pfTex? Thanks. Max

Re: lyx on cygwin
Thanks for the quick response. After installing the missing sty files in the pfTex package, I tried my lyx file. The error is still the same! "Tex Capacity Exceeded" So, the same file works ok on linux with tetex perfectly, but won't work with tetex or pfTex on windows. Did I misuse any macro? Any expert on the differences of tex on windows and latex? Could that be a lyx problem?

lyx->html. Inline maths formulae missing!
I have installed latex2html and "reconfigured" lyx. When I Export->HTML it seems to be going fine however, I get the following problems... 1) The resultant html file has references to .png files that don't appear to have been created so none of the inline maths formulae show up. When I search for img*.png none are found. 2) I am using foiltex and there are some warnings that latex2html produces when run from lyx...

The instructions for installing Claus Hentschel's windows port specifically warn the user not to install tetex, its in bold text and in a big box! Some people have reported it functioning but if the author of the port says not to, I assume he has a good reason.

It is called fpTeX and it is just a native port of tetex to Windows. I would strongly recommend to use it instead of cygwin tetex.
