What kind of information are you looking for ? Using a truetype font in
pdflatex (and therefore in LyX) is possible but is not trivial [but easier
than in plain LaTeX]. One subtle problem is that LaTeX uses ligatures and
that only a subset of commercial Truetype fonts have ligatures.

They are several howto on the Web like this one :

The configuration script uses a number of Unix/Linux utilities, 
including (prominently) sed.  Older versions of sed don't work with the 
configuration script.  I haven't updated my Cygwin installation in a 
long time, but the sed that Cygwin installed back when is definitely too 
old.  (There may be other utilities that need updating, but I know from 
painful personal experience that sed is one.)  Also, I had problems once 
with the LyX installation script seeing the version of LaTeX that Cygwin 
installed before finding the MiKTeX version, and deciding Cygwin's 
latex.exe would not work.  Might have been a faulty LaTeX installation 
under Cygwin, but in any case that problem was resolved by ensuring that 
MiKTeX preceded Cygwin on the Windows command path.


If you're willing to install MinSYS (and put it on the command path 
ahead of the Cygwin bin directory), I think that will cure your problem. 
 Otherwise, you should check whether there are updates available for 
Cygwin.  (Don't know if the most recent Cygwin is compatible with LyX or 
not.)


One other alternative:  people have compiled the LyX source under 
Cygwin.  (I'm assuming you installed the 1.3.7 Windows binary, rather 
than compiling yourself.)

I have been a lyx user since 1997. I used redhat os and rpm package to
install lyx and everything was easy. But now I am forced to be a windows XP
user and no one can help me install lyx on my XP. :~~~

I have visited and downloaded many files from www.lyx.org website, but the
instruction does not really help me because I am too dump! I had cygwin
installed on my xp. Could someone please kindly help me how to install lyx
based on cygwin? or any simple way to do it?

SH: I asked Kayvan Sylvan about this and he replied:


Hi Stephen,

I am using the LyX CVS 1.4 version. Building LyX from source on Cygwin is
easy, but you need a down-revved GCC (version 3.3.3). For some reason,
anything higher does not play well with the QT library (also compiled
from source).

Get QT3 from the cygwin-kde site and install it according to the
cygwin-specific directions (I can dig these up later, if you need, I am
at work now).

Next, you need to make sure to use the ld-script included with QT-3.

I have attached a script I use to make LyX (1.4.0CVS) with Qt3 on Cygwin.

This is how I set my system up:

~/src/lyxbuild/
lyx/ - This is the CVS source directory
qtbuild/ - build directory for QT LyX
make - This is the script I have attached.

Then:

cd ~/src/lyxbuild/qtbuild
../make all-qt

You will have to change some paths to get this to work for you.



SH: I attach this file he included. This is not for the the Qt Win
native version but for use with X11. I used an easy to configure 
X11 server, X-win32, when I wanted to test the Nedit editor.

http://www.starnet.com/products/xwin32/download.php
For private use, it is free a year at a time.

What is easy for Kayvan may not be easy for the rest of us.
The WinLyxInstaller runs natively/Qt on Windows, and comes
replete with all the helper programs if you need them. It is easy.

What is this error and how can it be fixed ?

That was a bug reported as fixed in LyX 1.3.6

Dear lyx users,

I have been a lyx user since 1997. I used redhat os and rpm package to
install lyx and everything was easy. But now I am forced to be a windows XP
user and no one can help me install lyx on my XP. :~~~

I have visited and downloaded many files from www.lyx.org website, but the
instruction does not really help me because I am too dump! I had cygwin
installed on my xp. Could someone please kindly help me how to install lyx
based on cygwin? or any simple way to do it?

Thank you very much!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

SH: I asked Kayvan Sylvan about this and he replied:


Hi Stephen,

I am using the LyX CVS 1.4 version. Building LyX from source on Cygwin is
easy, but you need a down-revved GCC (version 3.3.3). For some reason,
anything higher does not play well with the QT library (also compiled
from source).

Get QT3 from the cygwin-kde site and install it according to the
cygwin-specific directions (I can dig these up later, if you need, I am
at work now).

Next, you need to make sure to use the ld-script included with QT-3.

I have attached a script I use to make LyX (1.4.0CVS) with Qt3 on Cygwin.

This is how I set my system up:

~/src/lyxbuild/
lyx/ - This is the CVS source directory
qtbuild/ - build directory for QT LyX
make - This is the script I have attached.

Then:

cd ~/src/lyxbuild/qtbuild
../make all-qt

You will have to change some paths to get this to work for you.



SH: I attach this file he included. This is not for the the Qt Win
native version but for use with X11. I used an easy to configure 
X11 server, X-win32, when I wanted to test the Nedit editor.

http://www.starnet.com/products/xwin32/download.php
For private use, it is free a year at a time.

What is easy for Kayvan may not be easy for the rest of us.
The WinLyxInstaller runs natively/Qt on Windows, and comes
replete with all the helper programs if you need them. It is easy.

Not sure what the question exactly is, but I'll try this answer: use

What kind of information are you looking for ? Using a truetype font in
pdflatex (and therefore in LyX) is possible but is not trivial [but easier
than in plain LaTeX]. One subtle problem is that LaTeX uses ligatures and
that only a subset of commercial Truetype fonts have ligatures.

They are several howto on the Web like this one :
http://ipe.compgeom.org/pdftex_1.html

It's not possible to select these directly from within LyX?

I can't find that file anywhere; what to do?

Eyal Rozenberg




The configuration script uses a number of Unix/Linux utilities, 
including (prominently) sed.  Older versions of sed don't work with the 
configuration script.  I haven't updated my Cygwin installation in a 
long time, but the sed that Cygwin installed back when is definitely too 
old.  (There may be other utilities that need updating, but I know from 
painful personal experience that sed is one.)  Also, I had problems once 
with the LyX installation script seeing the version of LaTeX that Cygwin 
installed before finding the MiKTeX version, and deciding Cygwin's 
latex.exe would not work.  Might have been a faulty LaTeX installation 
under Cygwin, but in any case that problem was resolved by ensuring that 
MiKTeX preceded Cygwin on the Windows command path.


If you're willing to install MinSYS (and put it on the command path 
ahead of the Cygwin bin directory), I think that will cure your problem. 
 Otherwise, you should check whether there are updates available for 
Cygwin.  (Don't know if the most recent Cygwin is compatible with LyX or 
not.)


One other alternative:  people have compiled the LyX source under 
Cygwin.  (I'm assuming you installed the 1.3.7 Windows binary, rather 
than compiling yourself.)

There is no way to fix that, up to my best knowledge, but that error
message is totally inoffensive.

Stephen Harris (SH) had previously written:

"In the past the sh.exe which comes with Cygwin has not been the 

same version which works that is provided by Minsys to install LyX."



SH now writes: Thanks for the correction to sed*

the documentation is confusing:

Can't find eps file when exporting
