Thanks, Herbert, I'll try that. It;s certainly good enough for me, given
that I'm trying to produce camera-ready images for a paper that will be
submitted in Word format. (My boss is too set in his ways to change.)
It's an ugly, clunky solution in general though (because I read you telling
us that lmodern is the thing to use) :-(

this should work also with lmodern, or alternative

Re: Automatic view DVI file after update DVI
Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2005 23:22:54 +0100 From: Paul Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org lyx-users@lists.lyx.org Subject: Automatic view DVI file after update DVI Dear All Systematically, when I update the DVI file, I want to view the DVI file. So, it would be nice to be possible to configure LyX so that clicking on Update -- DVI led automatically to the DVI viewer. Can it be done with LyX 1.3.6? Running Update-DVI assumes that a viewer is already open from a previous View-DVI, and the viewer should update automagically upon completion of the LyX compilations (xdvik). Update-PS works alike with ghostview and gv (File-Reopen) Update-PDF works alike with gv (File-Reopen), with xpdf (typing R for Reopen in the xpdf window) but you must close/open with acroread (5.0/Solaris here). -- Jean-Pierre

How do I install a new layout/class?
I have been asked to write a book chapter which has to be delivered in Latex... to which I am new. I've installed version 1.3.6 under Windows XP and obtained the necessary .cls file and associated .layout file. What do I do now? I have tried copying the .cls file to C:\Program Files\LyX\Resources\lyx\tex\ and the .layout file (with associated includes) to C:\Program Files\LyX\Resources\lyx\layouts\. How do I make Lyx aware of the existence of these files? I did come across some stuff saying I had to add an entry to textclass.lst but the example didn't seem to square with the syntax of the textclass.lst file I have. Also confused about some (admittedly Linux system) instructions on installing the .cls file in the miktex directory and running texhash? Many thanks in advance, Peter Rockett

Using endfloat with subfig
I am using endfloat to move all my figures to the end of the document,
adding this to my preamble:
\usepackage[lists,heads]{endfloat}
%% Remove captions from the figure pages
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\vskip\abovecaptionskip
\hbox to \hsize{\hfil #1\hfil}%
\vskip\belowcaptionskip}
The result is almost perfect:

2 Assemblages of polyhedra...
...
11 The distribution of generations of ...
/page
page
Figures

/page
However, I'm also using the subfig package to add captions to the sub
figures within a float and at the moment these remain with the
figure. Ie:
page
--
||
||
||
--
(a) \degree{90} branches are allowed...
--

(b) \degree{90} branches are not allowed...

Moreover, these same sub figure captions *do not* appear on the List
of Figures page.
Any clues on what I need to do? I attach a minimal example of what I
get currently.

Re: most lyx-friendly bibtex-format?
i dont know much about how lyx handles bibtex underneath the hood - but recently i wrote some tools to keep track of my own reference collection. these are some of my experiences: bibtex is inherently difficult to parse - because the format is very flexible. i dont think a simple parser will do - i picked up somewhere one should use a YACC compiler (yet another compiler compiler) for making a proper parser. there do, however, exists different parsers in the public domain. google for btparse (powerfull parser written in c). also, i think dana jacobsen may have some hints: http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~jacobsd/bib/bp/ at least he got the availible BibTeX format description: http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~jacobsd/bib/formats/bibtex.html (and the references therein looks promising) perhaps a parser upgrade will be worth while? best regards martin On Tue, Jul 19, 2005 at 03:56:06PM +0200, Sven Schreiber wrote: Recently I seem to be having more problems than usual with the bibtex database access in the insert citation dialog (obvious parsing errors, the lower-left info area often shows a relatively wild combination of different entries).

Hi Yes another question, sorry. I have been using 1.3.5 for sometime and have become very use to the toolbar that I am using. It is a corruption of the 'Alternative Toolbar' provided here http://www.semverteilung.vwl.uni-muenchen.de/mitarbeiter/es/software/ToolbarES.htm However when I use it with 1.3.6 some f the icons are not recognised and become ? and another is just totally different. I have attached the .ui file. Does any one know why this is happening? Ultimately it doesn't matter for me because I know where all the buttons are and what they do so don't need icons per se but I am trying to encourage others to use Lyx and so it would be helpful if my version looked complete.

Hello list, I generate a document with lyx and export to PDF, it looks pretty good under linux, nevertheless when I try to see it under Windows it looks very bad the words does not look good, the letter format looks horrible etc. Any one knows how to correct this problem. I will appreciate any help or point to a good source of information. Kind Regards. -- Sergio Basurto J. If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Instant preview in 1.3.6 win
Hi So far so good with the 1.3.6 install. Only I can't get instant preview to work. I have selected Instant Preview in Preferences and also have a full version of Python 2.4 installed. Anyone got Instant Preview to work on a Win system and know how to do it? Geoff
SOLVED -Instant preview
Ok it seems that on (my) WinXP box as well as Python you also need a set of Python extensions which can be found here. There are files to cover the latest Python releases. https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=78018package_id=79063release_id=319716 Perhaps something should be added to state this additional step for Win Machines. It may be that it only affects Instant Preview but I don't know anything about Python or how it is used by Lyx. Geoff

Strange menu behaviour on resize
Hi A strange thing happens whenever I minimise my Lyx window to the tool bar in Windows. When I bring it back up (regardless of whether it is full screen or user defined size) only the first 4 menu options are available (FIle, Edit, Insert, Layout). When I run the mouse of the vacant space the other menu items appear. Very odd, wondered whether anyone else had this problem and although minor whether it is a bug worth reporting. Geoff

Re: 1.3.6 for Win Fix
Hello, Short version: The default Postscript viewer in the Win version install, which is gsview32.exe, failed. I fixed it by addding C:\ghostgum\gsview; to the Path in Preferences. Long version: Whilst having a stimulating chat with Paul Smith about the merits of viewing files, I decided to upgrade to the new 1.3.6 lyx-1.3.6_win32_setup_v1.exe since Angus claimed it was functioning flawlessly. :-) Everything appeared to work except my ghostcript viewer failed to open files, though externally the program worked. I noticed that it was set to gsview32.exe which enables the file to be saved whereas gswin32.exe only views images. So I tried changing the setting under LyX -- Preferences from the default, to File formats --Viewer --gswin32.exe and this enabled viewing. So I added C:\ghostgum\gsview; to the Path under Preferences so it could read that directory which contains the default install of gsview32.exe. I had to run Reconfigure to make this work besides apply and save. Maybe the script needs to check for ghostgum also, or perhaps the location of ghostgum/gsview32.exe, the default viewer as installed on my Win XP machine, can magically be inserted into the Path statement under LyX Preferences.

How do I install a new layout/class?
I have been asked to write a book chapter which has to be delivered in Latex... to which I am new. I've installed version 1.3.6 under Windows XP and obtained the necessary .cls file and associated .layout file. What do I do now? I have tried copying the .cls file to C:\Program Files\LyX\Resources\lyx\tex\ and the .layout file (with associated includes) to C:\Program Files\LyX\Resources\lyx\layouts\. How do I make Lyx aware of the existence of these files? I did come across some stuff saying I had to add an entry to textclass.lst but the example didn't seem to square with the syntax of the textclass.lst file I have. Also confused about some (admittedly Linux system) instructions on installing the .cls file in the miktex directory and running texhash? Many thanks in advance, Peter Rockett

Using endfloat with subfig
I am using endfloat to move all my figures to the end of the document,
adding this to my preamble:
\usepackage[lists,heads]{endfloat}
%% Remove captions from the figure pages
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\vskip\abovecaptionskip
\hbox to \hsize{\hfil #1\hfil}%
\vskip\belowcaptionskip}
The result is almost perfect:
page
List of Figures
1 A summation of Mercer et al.'s ...
2 Assemblages of polyhedra...
...
11 The distribution of generations of ...
/page
page
Figures
--
||
||
||
--
Figure 1
/page
However, I'm also using the subfig package to add captions to the sub
figures within a float and at the moment these remain with the
figure. Ie:
page
--
||
||
||
--
(a) \degree{90} branches are allowed...
--
||
||
||
--
(b) \degree{90} branches are not allowed...
Figure 11
/page
Moreover, these same sub figure captions *do not* appear on the List
of Figures page.
Any clues on what I need to do? I attach a minimal example of what I
get currently.

Re: most lyx-friendly bibtex-format?
i dont know much about how lyx handles bibtex underneath the hood - but recently i wrote some tools to keep track of my own reference collection. these are some of my experiences: bibtex is inherently difficult to parse - because the format is very flexible. i dont think a simple parser will do - i picked up somewhere one should use a YACC compiler (yet another compiler compiler) for making a proper parser. there do, however, exists different parsers in the public domain. google for btparse (powerfull parser written in c). also, i think dana jacobsen may have some hints: http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~jacobsd/bib/bp/ at least he got the availible BibTeX format description: http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~jacobsd/bib/formats/bibtex.html (and the references therein looks promising) perhaps a parser upgrade will be worth while? best regards martin On Tue, Jul 19, 2005 at 03:56:06PM +0200, Sven Schreiber wrote: Recently I seem to be having more problems than usual with the bibtex database access in the insert citation dialog (obvious parsing errors, the lower-left info area often shows a relatively wild combination of different entries).

Toolbar in 1.3.6
Hi Yes another question, sorry. I have been using 1.3.5 for sometime and have become very use to the toolbar that I am using. It is a corruption of the 'Alternative Toolbar' provided here http://www.semverteilung.vwl.uni-muenchen.de/mitarbeiter/es/software/ToolbarES.htm However when I use it with 1.3.6 some f the icons are not recognised and become ? and another is just totally different. I have attached the .ui file. Does any one know why this is happening?
