Thanks a lot, Herbert. It works!!! For the future users, I explain (in my poor 
English) what I did:

I a Linux Debian Sarge I do:

1) Download sansmath.sty from 
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/

2) As root, copy sansmath.sty to /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/:
 
 # cp sansmath.sty /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/

3) Submit the command:
 
 # texhash

4) Start lyx

5) Reconfigure Lyx: edit-reconfigure

6) exit Lyx

7) start Lyx again

8) Put in the preamble (Format - Document - Preamble):

 \usepackage{sansmath}
 \sansmath

and add commands like:
 
 \mathversion{sans}
and 

 \mathversion{normal} 
 
where necessary in your document.

not a good idea. with

you get the paths, where TeX searchs for files, e.g. for my system:

.:/home/voss/texmf/tex/generic//:!!/opt/texlive7/texmf-var/tex/generic//

:/opt/texlive7/texmf-local/tex///:!!/opt/texlive7/texmf/tex///
:/home/voss/.TeX:/usr/share/doc/.TeX:/usr/doc/.TeX
now choose first a path, where you do not need root access
and second, which will not be overwritten when you system
is updated. A good choice is
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex
or ~/texmf/tex
5) Reconfigure Lyx: edit-reconfigure
this is only nessecary, when you have a new documentclass file

   The author hacked up his own bibliography style (.bst) file, and the
 lines you are looking for are these:
 
   \newcommand{\BIBand}{% % makebst
  \ifbibenv{and}\else\textit{\}\fi}
 
 You might try adding that to your document preamble (you can get delete
 the '% makebst' comment).  I'm not sure, but I think you may also have
 to use custom-bib (makebst) to create a customized .bst file.  One of
 the things it prompts you for is the separator before the last author.
 To use this trick, you'll want to select \BIBand, which is one of the
 choices.  The catch is that \BIBand (which I think defaults to \) would
 be used in both the citations and the bibliography entries without the
 fix above.

Thanks Paul and Jan for the pointer to custom-bib. I managed to get it
working after many tries.

Just to add a little more to the code submitted above. The one above would
change and to  globally (both citations and references). Extra lines
are needed, thus the complete code in the preamble is (with my comments on
how I understand the code):

newif\ifbibenv \bibenvfalse % define a conditional (bibenv) and set it
to false

% Change all occurrences of and to  both in citations and references
\newcommand{\BIBand}{\ifbibenv{and}\else\textit{\}\fi}

% Now change back the  to and in references through the \bibpreamble

\newcommand{\bibpreamble}{\bibenvtrue}

Re: lyx-qt + russian locale + math symbols display

 Unfortunately, today one of our users reported that lyx-qt (installed

Ok, we found it. It crashes on each autosave, because of error in ru.po, 
which causes exception from boost. And really, this does not happen if not 
running in russian locale.

Additionally to what Angus wrote, I can even predict that there should

Thanks Paul and Jan for the pointer to custom-bib. I managed to get it
working after many tries.

Just to add a little more to the code submitted above. The one above would
change "and" to "&" globally (both citations and references). Extra lines
are needed, thus the complete code in the preamble is (with my comments on
how I understand the code):

newif\ifbibenv \bibenvfalse % define a conditional (bibenv) and set it
to false

% Change all occurrences of "and" to "&" both in citations and references
\newcommand{\BIBand}{\ifbibenv{and}\else\textit{\&}\fi}

% Now change back the "&" to "and" in references through the "\bibpreamble"
of natbib

\newcommand{\bibpreamble}{\bibenvtrue}


Everything should work beautifully!

Ok, we found it. It crashes on each autosave, because of error in ru.po, 
which causes exception from boost. And really, this does not happen if not 
running in russian locale.

In debian version, this should be applied:

A validate of the po file should have caught this.

It's even worse than that. If you really want to see all the corner

There is a kind of interesting document which is a literate weaving the

Found it once as a .dvi --- can't recall the details of where though...

  I now have that problem, but I didn't had it before even running kde 3.3.0
from kde-redhat.

  I think that I will ask in the users list there, as the maintainer is a
helpful guy. He does a wonderful job. :-)

LyX and docbook a perfect match. :-)


Re: KDE upgrade + accents

2004-10-05 Thread Juan Luis Chulilla
I had that problem with suse 9.1 and KDE 3.2. My solution was to use
this language specification:in /etc/sysconfig/language , I use RC_LANG
= "es_ES.ISO-8859-15" instead of UTF-8 used as default.

Hope this helps
