Re: Printing problem
This may be a wild goose chase for you. Someone out there may have a *much* better answer. Debug LyX: from a line command, type in lyx -dbg. This will give you the lyx debug flag definitions. Debug dvips from within LyX: In the Outputs Printers configuration section, change the printer command to dvips -d 2 This will set the debug level of dvips to 2.You can find all the debug flag definitions at http://www.tug.org/texinfohtml/dvips.html#Debug-options You may want to start out just debugging dvips. You can capture the all the debug info by starting lyx from a command line with appropriate output redirection, for example lyx -dbg 2 debugoutput.txt 21 Leave off the -dbg 2 to not start off with lyx debug. lyx debugoutput.txt 21 These command forms will redirect standard output and standard error to the file debugoutput.txt. You may want to investigate the -u option for dvips (http://www.tug.org/texinfohtml/dvips.html#Option-details): -u /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/psfonts.map perhaps.

4) As root, copy sansmath.sty to /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/:

\usepackage{tex4ht}
then running the file through latex and bibtex followed by a final

Re: Printing problem
I think I have solved this. I was using a rather aged version of tetex (1.0. something), but after some google bashing, managed to beat some version 2 rpms into working, and can now print. Can't help thinking I have some more learning to do though... Next game is gbib, but that'll be a whole new thread!

ff, fi ligatures and tex4ht
I have been playing around with tex4ht. Adding
\usepackage{tex4ht}
then running the file through latex and bibtex followed by a final
run of tex4ht produces pretty impressive results. The only real
problem I'm suffering from is what it's doin to 'fi' and 'ff'
ligatures. Is there any way I can get it to be boring and just leave
fi as fi?

a problem with lyx
dear mailing-list users, i have a big problem with lyx and i hope that there is an easy solution for it. as you know one can create an index in lyx. is there a possibility to create an symbolverzeichnis or an namesverzeichnis, so that they are listed in my table of contens? i would be satisfied if i could label pages, so that i could refer to a page number.. . or is there possibility to rename index and put it in your table of contents..? thank you for any answer.. tanja ... -- +++ GMX DSL Premiumtarife 3 Monate gratis* + WLAN-Router 0,- EUR* +++ Clevere DSL-Nutzer wechseln jetzt zu GMX: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl -- +++ GMX DSL Premiumtarife 3 Monate gratis* + WLAN-Router 0,- EUR* +++ Clevere DSL-Nutzer wechseln jetzt zu GMX: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl

There are several ways, (none of it is straightforward). * If your table only contains simple text and is tab delimited, you can create an empty table with the right number of rows and columns in LyX and drag and drop the table with the mouse. * If the table is in LaTeX format, you can either + include it (no visual feedback), + insert as ERT (ugly visual feedback), or + try to reLyX it (see man reLyX for the needed arguments for relyxing part of a LaTeX document). * Also, you can google for csv2lyx, a perl script that can produce a LyX document out of csv (comma separated values). See the documentation that comes with it for the many options, including direct insert via the lyxpipe, tab separated values, formatting and the like. Günter -- G.Milde web.de

Re: Printing problem
Thanks for the replys. First off, I tried the 'hit the print button, not just enter' and had no luck. Would've been nice though... Going into a bit more detail then. When I hit print, the default printer is found ok, and its name is in the 'printer' box. However, when I hit the 'print' button, there's not a 'sending to print' progress bar; the menu just closes. To my mind this means it's not spooling (NB it's a network printer on another machine running CUPS, but works fine from other apps). The 'output, printer' section of the 'preferences' menu also displays the correct name for the default printer. Adapt output is checked, and the printer command is 'dvips'. The options look reasonable compared to those from the dvips man page (I'll list them below). The only difference is the the spool command is 'lp' rather than 'lpr', but either of these options work from the command line, and neither option works when I change them. One thing I have spotted is the a warning from dvips when I print from the command line: $ dvips -f test.dvi -P HP2300 dvips: warning: no config file for `HP2300' This is dvips(k) 5.86 Copyright 1999 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2004.10.08:1016' -> | lpr -PHP2300 I know nothing about dvips, other than that lyx wants to use it to control print output, so I maybe need to have a look at this if it's important...?

how to use a new class
Hi I have a basic experience of LyX, but now I got a problem that I am not able to solve: I have a class file "svmono.cls", and also another file "svind.ist" from a publisher. It is a style file for a book. I tried to explore the customization manual, but without success. Is there anybody, or any place where I can get a step-by-step procedure to use this class within lyx and to create its layout?

Re: Printing problem
This may be a wild goose chase for you. Someone out there may have a *much* better answer. Debug LyX: from a line command, type in lyx -dbg. This will give you the lyx debug flag definitions. Debug dvips from within LyX: In the Outputs Printers configuration section, change the printer command to dvips -d 2 This will set the debug level of dvips to 2.You can find all the debug flag definitions at http://www.tug.org/texinfohtml/dvips.html#Debug-options You may want to start out just debugging dvips. You can capture the all the debug info by starting lyx from a command line with appropriate output redirection, for example lyx -dbg 2 >debugoutput.txt 2>&1 Leave off the -dbg 2 to not start off with lyx debug. lyx >debugoutput.txt 2>&1 These command forms will redirect standard output and standard error to the file debugoutput.txt. You may want to investigate the "-u" option for dvips (http://www.tug.org/texinfohtml/dvips.html#Option-details): -u /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/psfonts.map perhaps. Lastly, and possibly most ignorantly of me, you could add the printer definition through texconfig david wolfson wrote: Thanks for the replys.

Summary for the query on use avant font in equations
The original question was how to use avant font in the equations.
The problem is solved:
I a Linux Debian Sarge I do:
1) Download "sansmath.sty" from:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/
2) With then command "kpsepath tex" you get the paths, where TeX search for
files. I get:
/home/totxo/texmf/tex/generic/
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/generic/
/usr/local/lib/texmf/tex/generic/
/var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/
/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/
/home/totxo/texmf/tex/
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/
/usr/local/lib/texmf/tex/
/var/lib/texmf/tex/
/usr/share/texmf/tex/
3) As root, make the directory -p /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex
# mkdir -p /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex
4) As root, copy "sansmath.sty" to /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/:
# cp sansmath.sty /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/
3) Submit the command: # texhash
4) Start lyx
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.
