Because latex proces dvi (as it reads, device independent).
It's an external program (dvips) which produces ps (and pdf through
another filter).
(La)TeX delegates dvi conversion, and transmits as is the included
eps stuff. In fact (La)TeX needs only the BoundingBox to compute the layout,

pdflatex certainly produces dvi too (if you use \pdfoutput=0). You can use 
dvi2x-converters, eps figures and whatever you want.

I am surprised actually that Reconfigure has not been run
automatically when starting LyX...

Would  \unichar{"20ac}  not work?

Do you have underscores in your citation keys?

No. And I have tried changing bib styles, makes no difference.

Also, I should mention, I actually get 5 errors. The one I quoted in my 
initial message is only the first. Then I get another error

Missing number, treated as zero.
 ...s~\cite{Kosaka1998,Kosaka1999b,Baba2002b}.
  
A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.
(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)

and another

Missing \endcsname inserted.
 ...s~\cite{Kosaka1998,Kosaka1999b,Baba2002b}.
  
The control sequence marked  should
not appear between \csname and \endcsname.

And a couple more like this last one. 

And for André, my bib file contains no underscores at all. 

Oh, and I am using lyx 1.3.3.

Alex.


Re: Unicode support for LyX

2004-03-24 Thread Uwe Stöhr
When looking in the unicode-tables, you will find
the € as char '20AC'. To pass it to the \unicar command you have to 
recalculate its number to the decimal system.
'20AC' in the hexadecimal-system is '8364' in the decimal system.
Now you can type \unichar{8364} to get the unicode encoded ??? sign.
Would  \unichar{"20ac}  not work?
No, but \unicode{"20AC} works. The letter-numbers must be uppercase.
But thanks for the hint, the 'unicode' documentation doesn't describe 
that I have to use the quotation mark before.

Is it really so hard, to implement unicode support?
IsnÂt it possible, simply to bring together LyX with the QT-libs with
Lambda?

RE: Unicode support for LyX

2004-03-24 Thread Nguyen Huu Hoa
Sorry for my ignorance, but what I want is typing entire my thesis in UTF-8
(actually in Vietnamese language), so the use of \unichar can not help in
this situation.

Is there any other approach?

Thanks in advance.

Hoa, Nguyen
