Re: Invisible font
I some times have a similar problem with the spell checker with lyx 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 with xforms 1. Unfortunatly I dont know the solution. I think it may be more a glitch in xforms then lyx but I dont know. David L. Johnson wrote: On Wed, 2003-07-09 at 21:05, Owen Lucas wrote: What front end? xforms.

Well, that's a bit puzzling (though consistent with what Jim Reid reported). This is a long shot, but try Help-LaTeX Configuration and check "LaTeX version currently in use". If it does not contain a date (and typically this would also mean that the page itself has question marks in lieu of a date in its heading), then LyX can't find your LaTeX installation. In that case, you need to make sure that latex.exe is on your path, then run Edit->Reconfigure. I think Jim Reid said that his LyX was indicating that LaTeX had been found, though, so I'm not optimistic about this. If you were using a more recent version of Windoze, I might suspect a permissions problem (LyX trying to invoke latex.exe but latex.exe requiring root permissions, or some such). I had a problem a while back on a Windows 2000 machine that boiled down to a difference between the permissions Cygwin assigned to a file and the permissions Windoze assigned to it. However, Win 98 SE isn't particularly anal about permissions (in fact, I don't recall being able to assign permissions in it), so that's not likely to be the problem. Another experiment you might try: load a document into LyX; use ctrl-alt- del to pop up the list of processes running; then click View->DVI and watch the process list to see whether latex.exe starts or not. It might be that latex.exe is being invoked but dying without writing a log file. Or maybe this is something peculiar to the native version, in which case someone else will have to come up with the answer. Meanwhile, you at least have a workaround, albeit a tedious one: 1. Use File->Export to export your LyX file as a LaTeX file. This should export to the same directory in which the LyX file lives, not to a temp directory. 2. Open a DOS prompt in that directory and run latex . Since you're new to LaTeX, I'll warn you that if you have references in your document, you have to run LaTeX at least twice (the first time creates an auxiliary file with the references, the second time uses that file to fill in reference numbers). Also, if you put in a bibliography, you'll have to run bibtex after the first latex run and before the second one. My rule of thumb is to keep running latex until the log output stabilizes. :-) 3. Now run yap, or whatever your DVI viewer is, on the DVI. You still get to use LyX to shield you from Evil Red TeX, so this is not all bad, but obviously it's not nearly as good as resolving the problem. > And I'm astonished to having got so much help so > quick.

Also, I use WinDVI, not Yap. Easy way to tell if LyX is running LaTeX: open the doc, do View->DVI, then (in LyX) View->LaTeX log file. If the log file's not there, or if it contains an error message, it gives you a clue what's up. If the log file is there, scroll to the bottom and see if it says that it wrote a .dvi file. When you View-DVI, LyX writes a LaTeX file in a temp directory, runs LaTeX there (along with BibTeX if needed), then invokes your DVI viewer on the DVI file created in that temp directory.

IT is possible to change how the color defined in layout->character will
look in the output.
For example, if you put
\definecolor{green}{rgb}{0,0.5,0}
in the preamble, and change the color of a text to 'green' (using
layout->character), in the output you will get dark green.

Re: View -> dvi doesn't work
Hi Well I've just installed the Win32 version and it looks like I have a similar problem. When I do a "View -> dvi" I get an error message from Yap (the dvi viewer) saying test.dvi not found. A test.tex file is created in this dir though. When I manually run latex off the command line (had to fix the path but this is probabally just a local problem) I end up with a dvi file as expected. This is file is fine and then a "View -> dvi" will see it. This is an OK workaround (as is using my linux box at home...) so I'll live if I can't fix this problem! Anyway my best guess is that somehow Lyx isn't running latex succesfully. I've tried going into "edit -> prefences -> outputs -> converters",checking the most likely looking one (LaTeX to dvi) and sticking in the absolute path to the latex.exe; but no joy. Himm - I kind of remember that LyX generates an automatic inventory of your LaTeX install "LaTeXconfig.lyx". This exists and has spotted a LaTex install. Well I'm stumped for the moment and I hope you don't mind the rambling style - I've been trying whatever as I write & think.

insetlatexaccent is used to represent accents the latex way. The
primary use is for example to introduce latin2 characters in a latin1
text. There is some magic to do that in the cdef files, but I am not
sure what it does exactly.
Normally, LyX is not supposed to use insetlatexaccent when the
character exists in current font.
Another thing: following some improvements from Lars, insetlatexaccent
is broken is the display font does not contain raw accents (i.e. it is
broken is base font is either latin2 or latin9).
I think that nobody tried to touch this because the right solution is
actually unicode.

Problems with dead keys (1.3.2, xforms)
Hi, I have just found some problems with Lyx (1.3.2, xforms) and the keyboard. Basically, dead keys (accents, and more importantly, the ^ symbol) are not working as advertised. I have a Spanish keyboard, and as such, I can only get the ^ symbol by pressing the ^-key and the space bar afterwards. If I do this in MathMode, the space bar press exits math mode (it's just a normal space, not associated with the dead key event before it). Accents don't work either (in normal or MathMode). I can solve problem of the ^ symbol by using the KDE keyboard selector and instructing it to use the nodeadkeys variation, but I can't get the accents Here's the output of lyx -dbg key for a couple of cases. The first one covers the "^" problme: enter math-mode, type a number+^+space+\circ to get a number and the degree symbol. The problem arises that because you have to press space to get the ^ symbol, you get out of math mode! The insertion of the ^+space is shown next: XWorkArea: Key is `asciicircum' [94] XWorkArea: Keysym is `dead_circumflex' [65106] Using keysym [B] Workarea Diff: 4985 KeySym is dead_circumflex action first set to [-1] action now set to [-1] Key [action=-1][S-dead_circumflex] Trying without shift Action now -1 Unknown, !isText() - giving up XWorkArea: Key is `space' [32] XWorkArea: Keysym is `space' [32] Using keysym [B] Workarea Diff: 2231 KeySym is space action first set to [88] action now set to [88] Key [action=88][space] SelfInsert arg[`'] From the above, the keypress of the dead key is being recognised, but not acted upon? giving up? Another case (not that important): to get an accented vowel: acute accent+vowel: XWorkArea: Key is `dead_acute' [65105] XWorkArea: Keysym is `dead_acute' [65105] Using keysym [B] Workarea Diff: 61650 KeySym is dead_acute action first set to [-1] action now set to [-1] Key [action=-1][dead_acute] Unknown, !isText() - giving up XWorkArea: Key is `o' [111] XWorkArea: Keysym is `o' [111] Using keysym [B] Workarea Diff: 1248 KeySym is o action first set to [88] action now set to [88] Key [action=88][o] Cannot decode: o SelfInsert arg[`'] Again, recognised but still no joy getting the accented vowel working I am using lyx 1.3.2, built from source with gcc 3.3.1 on Debian Sarge. I have also used the debian version, to the same effect. I am using the en_GB.ISO-8859-15 locale, and xforms 1.0 (1.0-3 debian revision). Any help much appreciated, Jose

This is the best i can try:

And of course it does not work...
I tried with a 2-column table but i can only insert in-line formulas and cannot spread
the comment on multiple lines.
(Yes, i'm trying to use TeX like it was HTML)
Thank you,

Something like \tag{A comment} ?

Labels on Display Formula
I need to write a sheet with some formulas. How can I add a lable (or a comment... just a single phrase) on the right side of a display formula? (in-line formulas are too small). Thanx, Francesco Orsenigo

black right margin
Hello, I'm looking for a way to color the right margin of some pages in gray and black. It has to be something like a thumb index described in the "page layout in latex" article. but actually more simple: Just a 5 mm wide plain grey area at the right side of the odd pages and the left side of the even pages. Maybe there is a way of inserting a picture in the margin of fancyhdr? Thank you Robert

latexpdf
Hello, I created an .eps figure with adobe illustrator and I have problem with the final .pdf (pdflatex) document where the figure is rotated 90 degrees. I solved the problem by rotating it 90 degrees in the opposite direction. I wonder if this is bug somewhere. I read on the website http://www.cs.usask.ca/grads/wew036/latex/pdflatex.shtml that this may be a bug in ghostscript. Is this true? How can I solve this problem? jorgen

Hi, When you say it cuts off most of the slide do you mean it cuts off roughly the right-most third? If so this is because of the "-t a4" option that lyx sticks in when called dvips. Someone has claimed that gs versions from 6.53 onwards don't have this problem but I am unable to test this. (I am running redhat 7.3 and it appears to be almost impossible to upgrade ghostscript on it.) I simply have to export as latex and run dvips manually at the moment :( The upside down problem is caused by lyx sticking "-swap" in the options for gv. This can be fixed in edit->preferences->file formats->postscript->viewer where it should say "gv -swap" at the moment. Just change that to "gv". Cheers, Raphael P.S. I am using lyx 1.3.2 but seem to have had the same problems. Hmmm... All I can see from those examples is that the landscape is upside down. As you are using pdf and not postscript my suggestions may not have been relevant. If you have time/energy you could upgrade to 1.3.2 and then it would be easier for me/us to help you. Cheers, Raphael

Only with ERT at the moment. You can define your own colors with something
like this in the preamble:
\makeatletter
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\usepackage{color}
}
\makeatother
\definecolor{light-blue}{rgb}{0.8,0.85,1}
and then \textcolor{light-blue}{bla bla} or
\color{light-blue}
bla bla
\normalcolor
in the document.
Have a look for details at the graphics documentation (grfguide), which should
be in your tree.

LyX losing menu (after you add a .layout file)
The problem seems to be reproducible (and is maybe normal). When I add another xxx.layout to /usr/share/lyx/layouts, the next time I start up LyX, the menus are gone. No significant debug messages seem to appear. The fix: blow away ~/.lyx and restart lyx. The symptoms have occurred a lot lately, because I have been trying out presentation classes/styles/layouts with LyX. Among them pdfscreen, advi, and prosper. They are all very good! But there is a lot to learn! I will offer templates and examples when I have got all 3 working to my satisfaction. After my utterly disparaging comments about seminar, I must admit that Dekel's advice to use prosper was well founded. But there are 3 different versions , and 4 lyx layouts -I am trying to find the best of prosper, prosper2 (3 variants), and xprosper (for advi). John O'Gorman

But there is still something missing. It displays something like: "The DVI file \...\test.dvi does not exist." (The lyx file I try to see is "test.lyx").
