How fonts work in lyx
I have seen earlier postings reporting problems with deadkeys and accents in lyx 1.3.5 combined with Fedora Core 3, but so far no solution. In order to get a better understanding of the problem I would like to know a little bit more about how lyx works with fonts. With my current setup I can compose characters with accents in programs like emacs and xterm, but not in lyx, under Fedora Core 3. I could under Fedora Core 2, so something happened on the way. Both under Fedora Core 2 and 3 the spellchecker would not display any character with accent. I read somewhere that emacs and xterm are governed by the X server for the keyboard input. Apparently this is not the case for lyx, so how does it work ??? I feel that it is VERY IMPORTANT to fix these problems. I, like so many people, am very fond of lyx.

lyx on Solaris 9 or cygwin
Can anyone give me detailed info on how to install lyx (including xforms and xpm), either on solaris or cygwin running on a Windows PC. I've been trying to do the latter myself, but haven't been able to get it working because I haven't been able to install xforms or xpm correctly so lyx can't find them. I asked our unix computer supoprt person if he could try installing it on our solaris unix system, but he came back to me saying he hadn't been able to get the correct version of xforms for it, so it was going to take him much too long to try to figure it out... I'm really desperate to try out lyx. I can use latex myself, but now have the problem of having to prepare documents jointly with people who don't know latex. I've been having to use Word but have been getting increasingly frustrated with its limitations and annoyances, particularly for numbering, equations and eps figures. If lyx is as easy to use as the webpage seems to say it is, it could be the answer to our problems; if I can convince the non-latex people to give it a go, since they don't need to know any latex to use it! But I need to be able to install it first! Can any help? Alison.

Image converter and temporary files.
I've been using LyX to prepare some educational material for some time already. I'm writing the text using the book class and I'm splitting the chapters into separate files. Inside the text, I include a number of figures, which I keep in JPEG format to save space. The first time I want to print any portion of the text, or simply view it on the screen, LyX takes some time converting to EPS all the images in all the chapters included in the book. So far, so good; the problem is that every time that I make some modification and want to take another look, it goes on to converting ALL the images again, even though the EPS files are already created. Well, this is very annoying, because I have a large number of figures and each time I want to take a look at the final layout it spends some minutes converting the images all over again... and this seems to be the default behaviour of LyX. Is there no way to instruct the program to use the figures already converted?

There are several ways, but I guess depends on what you need to do and your type of document.

How fonts work in lyx
I have seen earlier postings reporting problems with deadkeys and accents in lyx 1.3.5 combined with Fedora Core 3, but so far no solution. In order to get a better understanding of the problem I would like to know a little bit more about how lyx works with fonts. With my current setup I can compose characters with accents in programs like emacs and xterm, but not in lyx, under Fedora Core 3. I could under Fedora Core 2, so something happened on the way. Both under Fedora Core 2 and 3 the spellchecker would not display any character with accent. I read somewhere that emacs and xterm are governed by the X server for the keyboard input. Apparently this is not the case for lyx, so how does it work ??? I feel that it is VERY IMPORTANT to fix these problems. I, like so many people, am very fond of lyx.

lyx on Solaris 9 or cygwin
Can anyone give me detailed info on how to install lyx (including xforms and xpm), either on solaris or cygwin running on a Windows PC. I've been trying to do the latter myself, but haven't been able to get it working because I haven't been able to install xforms or xpm correctly so lyx can't find them. I asked our unix computer supoprt person if he could try installing it on our solaris unix system, but he came back to me saying he hadn't been able to get the correct version of xforms for it, so it was going to take him much too long to try to figure it out... I'm really desperate to try out lyx. I can use latex myself, but now have the problem of having to prepare documents jointly with people who don't know latex. I've been having to use Word but have been getting increasingly frustrated with its limitations and annoyances, particularly for numbering, equations and eps figures. If lyx is as easy to use as the webpage seems to say it is, it could be the answer to our problems; if I can convince the non-latex people to give it a go, since they don't need to know any latex to use it! But I need to be able to install it first! Can any help? Alison.

It is located here: http://wiki.lyx.org/ipfm/index.php The link 'Upload files' at the top of each wiki page will now also take you to IPFM. In order to use it with full access rights, you need to login as the user 'lyx' and give the password 'LyXers'. (The password for editing pages on the wiki is still 'LyX'). Please note that the file manager starts in the root directory, but please move down in the directory hierarchy before actually uploading a file. Just ask on the list if you're uncertain about a suitable location. /Christian PS.

Image converter and temporary files.
I've been using LyX to prepare some educational material for some time already. I'm writing the text using the book class and I'm splitting the chapters into separate files. Inside the text, I include a number of figures, which I keep in JPEG format to save space. The first time I want to print any portion of the text, or simply view it on the screen, LyX takes some time converting to EPS all the images in all the chapters included in the book. So far, so good; the problem is that every time that I make some modification and want to take another look, it goes on to converting ALL the images again, even though the EPS files are already created.
