Hello,

I have an alignment problem inside a float.

I have a figure and also an equation, and I want the equation to be vertically 
aligned with the figure, side by side with it. If I just type it inside of 
the float it appears lower than the figure, which is ugly.

I have attached a sample lyx file plus the figure file and the pdf to make it 
clear what I mean. 

Thanks in advance for any useful suggestions anybody might have...

I use 1.3.6 on Debian testing.

Re: align figure and equation inside of a float

2006-03-31 Thread Robert Orr

you could try putting two mini pages in that float,
then in first one put the graphic, in the other put
the equation.   Insert horizontal fill in between the
two mini pages.  Size the two pages at 70% and
25%, or whatever looks best.

Attached example.

Re: Different fonts in LyX 1.3.4

2006-03-31 Thread Richard Heck


You need to install the TrueType font you're trying to use into LaTeX
before you can use it. There are several guides for doing so on the web,
e.g.: http://www.radamir.com/tex/ttf-tex.htm. Try a google search for more.

Are you sure the glyph you want to use isn't available already?

 My question is how to insert a certain

 like \font\cs=fontname at 10pt e. g.
 but it doesn't work for some reason. For example, I have a font in a
 file tiberi.ttf, its name is SPTiberian.
 But putting \font\cs=SPTiberian at xxpt or \font\cs=tiberi.ttf at
 xxpt gives out an error, something like
 'the font is not found'. The font is properly installed on my Linux
 machine, is seen by all other
 applications. What should I do?

 I'm using LyX version 1.3.4, SuSe Linux 9.2.


 As soon as I can gather, in order to use a specific font I must
 generate font metrics with the utility ttf2tfm or something like that
 (actually, I found ttf2afm and afm2tfm - don't know if this can make
 up for ttf2tfm).Is it really that necessary or is there any other way?
 The worst is that I hardly have a clue as to what to do, how to
 properly generate a tfm-file and where to put it. I don't even know if
 I'm astray or not. Where can I find more information?

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this (always a bad  
sign when a message starts this way, I know!), but . . .


I'm having recurring problems getting my documents to render  
correctly on the OS X version of LyX.  What seems to happen is that  
each time I preview the PDF file, it starts out initially as
gibberish (many black bars, boxes, etc. in the equations), then each  
successive preview fixes more and more of the bits, or at least  
causes the gibberish to move around the page, until eventually I get  
a clean copy that looks the way I expected -- see the attached series  
of screen captures.  [Correction: Screen captures available on  
request, but the mailing list can't accept files of that size.]   So  
it works eventually, but it takes some time-- does anyone have any  
theories as to why?


It looks like something to do with the fonts needing to be  
regenerated when they're going to be used, or something.  If I close  
LyX then reopen it immediately, it seems to render them correctly  
thefirst time.  But I've also seen weird problems where I see the  
fonts perfectly well on the screen, but they turn back into gibberish  
when I try to print them on my (hp LaserJet, PostScript) printer.  If  
there were some way to fix this, I'd love to hear about it!

What happens when you use LyX to export to LaTeX, and then run LaTeX  
manually (from within TeXShop, e.g.)? If the problems are the same  
there, you probably want to ask your question on the TeX on MacOS X  
mailing list, which can be accessed here: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac- 
tex/ (scroll 1/2-way down the page to see the links).


If the problems are unique to LyX, perhaps you can provide a minimal  
example file that reveals the problem. Also, does anything get  
printed out to Console.app when you typeset from within LyX?

Edge to edge footer?

Hi all,

My book uses the memoir document class. At the bottom of all pages not 
beginning a chapter, I need a brown stripe going all the way across the page, 
with some white writing in it. I'm using a minipage and containing a shaded 
environment, and it works, except that no matter what I do, I cannot get the 
shading to start at the left edge, but instead it starts at the left margin. 
I can \hspace{-5in} and it still starts at the margin.

This is only true when the minipage is in the footer. When ERT containing the 
minipage and shaded is placed in the body, the shaded can be started anywhere 
by preceding it with the proper \hspace{}. But that trick doesn't work in the 
footer.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Identifying Error Locations: 1.4.0

  I'm modifying a beamer class presentation created with version 1.3.6 or .7,
but now I'm running 1.4.0. There is apparently a problem with the path to
included graphics files. Instead of having the old Error boxes, the new

Is this how we now know the location of the error?

Dear Stephen,

Gladly.  I attach the program and supporting files in a zip file.
Just locate the zip file in your home directory and extract it there.  It will 
create a folder named ConvLaTex in your documents directory with the 
programs, dictionaries etc.  It will also place a link in your home directory 
to the Lyx document explaining the thing and where I've got to.  You can of 
course delete the zip file once unpacked, and the link when you've finished 
with it.


Should I copy it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as well?  


Regards,

Nick Thomas



Thank you for the zipfile. I will test its capability.
The zipfile is about 95k and I think is too large to be
attached in an email to the User list, so an interested
party can write you with a request. Perhaps putting it
on the LyX Wiki is a good idea?

I think ConvTex.lyx is small enough to attach to the
User list though, and will allow those interested to
read a bit about this. There are requests for how to
convert to Word and html and this may prove to be a
good tool and a valuable addition to the LyXer toolkit.

Best regards,
Stephen

The only difference appears to be the {\stringFigures/Fluid mosaic

making the figure eps, and placing it in the same directory as the lyx

identical to the example, but still nothing in the export!!! Quite 
frustrating!




There's nothing visibly wrong with the argument \stringFigures/Fluid 
mosaic model\string.jpg, assuming that your image is named 'Fluid 
mosaic model.jpg' and lives in a folder named 'Figures' directly under 
the folder containing the LyX file.


When you say no image appears in the exported version ...

1.  Do you mean an error message is produced (if so, what does it say?) 
or just that there's an empty space in the PDF file where the image 
should be?  (You might have to look in the TeX log file to see if 
there's an error message.)


2.  How are you doing the export: export to .tex and run pdflatex or 
something equivalent; export to PDF using the LyX File-Export menu 
(which method?); or View-PDF (again, which method)?


All else failing, can you post a minimal example (a LyX doc with just

Hmm... well I seem to have isolated the problem a little. I tried to  
make an example file, and the text wrap worked perfectly this time...  
It seems that if I have standard text following the float, then it  
will display fine. Where I run into problems is when I use the  
itemise format.


• If I have itemised text in the next paragraph of the document,  
nothing will be rendered.


• If I have even a single character of standard text either in the  
next paragraph or immediately following the graphic in the same  
paragraph, the image will render. The problem with this workaround is  
that the itemised text does not wrap around this image.


Perhaps this is a bug with floatflt, but in any case, I've posted a

 sometimes I find I made tiny errors and it would be pretty cool to
 edit it from within LyX.

In 1.4 there is an edit button on the graphics dialog. If you don't insert
the exported eps in LyX, but add an Ipe format in the preferences and a
converter from that format to eps and pdf, then you can insert the original
XML files in LyX, and launch ipe with one click on the edit button.
If you send the new format and converter definitions to the list they can

Re: align figure and equation inside of a float

2006-03-31 Thread Robert Orr

you could try putting two mini pages in that float,
then in first one put the graphic, in the other put
the equation.   Insert horizontal fill in between the
two mini pages.  Size the two pages at 70% and
25%, or whatever looks best.

Attached example.

Re: Different fonts in LyX 1.3.4

2006-03-31 Thread Richard Heck


You need to install the TrueType font you're trying to use into LaTeX
before you can use it. There are several guides for doing so on the web,
e.g.: http://www.radamir.com/tex/ttf-tex.htm. Try a google search for more.

Are you sure the glyph you want to use isn't available already?

 Hi,

 I want to use LyX to write a monography of my own on Hebrew grammar.
 My question is how to insert a certain
 symbol from a certain font? I've found that I need to use LaTeX code
 like \font\cs=fontname at 10pt e. g.
 but it doesn't work for some reason. For example, I have a font in a
 file tiberi.ttf, its name is SPTiberian.
 But putting \font\cs=SPTiberian at xxpt or \font\cs=tiberi.ttf at
 xxpt gives out an error, something like
 'the font is not found'. The font is properly installed on my Linux
 machine, is seen by all other
 applications. What should I do?

 I'm using LyX version 1.3.4, SuSe Linux 9.2.


 As soon as I can gather, in order to use a specific font I must
 generate font metrics with the utility ttf2tfm or something like that
 (actually, I found ttf2afm and afm2tfm - don't know if this can make
 up for ttf2tfm).Is it really that necessary or is there any other way?
 The worst is that I hardly have a clue as to what to do, how to
 properly generate a tfm-file and where to put it. I don't even know if
 I'm astray or not. Where can I find more information?

I'm having recurring problems getting my documents to render

each time I preview the PDF file, it starts out initially as
gibberish (many black bars, boxes, etc. in the equations), then each  
successive preview fixes more and more of the bits, or at least  
causes the gibberish to move around the page, until eventually I get  
a clean copy that looks the way I expected -- see the attached series  
of screen captures.  [Correction: Screen captures available on  
request, but the mailing list can't accept files of that size.]   So  
it works eventually, but it takes some time-- does anyone have any  
theories as to why?


It looks like something to do with the fonts needing to be  
regenerated when they're going to be used, or something.  If I close  
LyX then reopen it immediately, it seems to render them correctly  
thefirst time.  But I've also seen weird problems where I see the  
fonts perfectly well on the screen, but they turn back into gibberish  
when I try to print them on my (hp LaserJet, PostScript) printer.  If  
there were some way to fix this, I'd love to hear about it!

What happens when you use LyX to export to LaTeX, and then run LaTeX  
manually (from within TeXShop, e.g.)? If the problems are the same  
there, you probably want to ask your question on the TeX on MacOS X  
mailing list, which can be accessed here: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac- 
tex/ (scroll 1/2-way down the page to see the links).


If the problems are unique to LyX, perhaps you can provide a minimal  
example file that reveals the problem. Also, does anything get  
printed out to Console.app when you typeset from within LyX?

Edge to edge footer?

Hi all,

My book uses the memoir document class. At the bottom of all pages not 
beginning a chapter, I need a brown stripe going all the way across the page, 
with some white writing in it. I'm using a minipage and containing a shaded 
environment, and it works, except that no matter what I do, I cannot get the 
shading to start at the left edge, but instead it starts at the left margin. 
I can \hspace{-5in} and it still starts at the margin.

This is only true when the minipage is in the footer. When ERT containing the 
minipage and shaded is placed in the body, the shaded can be started anywhere 
by preceding it with the proper \hspace{}. But that trick doesn't work in the 
footer.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Identifying Error Locations: 1.4.0

  I'm modifying a beamer class presentation created with version 1.3.6 or .7,
but now I'm running 1.4.0. There is apparently a problem with the path to
included graphics files. Instead of having the old Error boxes, the new

Is this how we now know the location of the error?

Dear Stephen,

Gladly.  I attach the program and supporting files in a zip file.
Just locate the zip file in your home directory and extract it there.  It will 
create a folder named ConvLaTex in your documents directory with the 
programs, dictionaries etc.  It will also place a link in your home directory 
to the Lyx document explaining the thing and where I've got to.  You can of 
course delete the zip file once unpacked, and the link when you've finished 
with it.


Should I copy it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as well?  


Regards,

Nick Thomas



Thank you for the zipfile. I will test its capability.
The zipfile is about 95k and I think is too large to be
attached in an email to the User list, so an interested
party can write you with a request. Perhaps putting it
on the LyX Wiki is a good idea?

I think ConvTex.lyx is small enough to attach to the
User list though, and will allow those interested to
read a bit about this. There are requests for how to
convert to Word and html and this may prove to be a
good tool and a valuable addition to the LyXer toolkit.

Best regards,

The only difference appears to be the {\stringFigures/Fluid mosaic

making the figure eps, and placing it in the same directory as the lyx

identical to the example, but still nothing in the export!!! Quite 
frustrating!




There's nothing visibly wrong with the argument \stringFigures/Fluid 
mosaic model\string.jpg, assuming that your image is named 'Fluid 
mosaic model.jpg' and lives in a folder named 'Figures' directly under 
the folder containing the LyX file.


When you say no image appears in the exported version ...

1.  Do you mean an error message is produced (if so, what does it say?) 
or just that there's an empty space in the PDF file where the image 
should be?  (You might have to look in the TeX log file to see if 
there's an error message.)


2.  How are you doing the export: export to .tex and run pdflatex or 
something equivalent; export to PDF using the LyX File-Export menu 
(which method?); or View-PDF (again, which method)?


All else failing, can you post a minimal example (a LyX doc with just

Hmm... well I seem to have isolated the problem a little. I tried to  
make an example file, and the text wrap worked perfectly this time...  
It seems that if I have standard text following the float, then it  
will display fine. Where I run into problems is when I use the  
itemise format.


• If I have itemised text in the next paragraph of the document,  
nothing will be rendered.


• If I have even a single character of standard text either in the  
next paragraph or immediately following the graphic in the same  
paragraph, the image will render. The problem with this workaround is  
that the itemised text does not wrap around this image.


Perhaps this is a bug with floatflt, but in any case, I've posted a

In 1.4 there is an "edit" button on the graphics dialog. If you don't insert
the exported eps in LyX, but add an "Ipe" format in the preferences and a
converter from that format to eps and pdf, then you can insert the original
XML files in LyX, and launch ipe with one click on the "edit" button.
If you send the new format and converter definitions to the list they can
even be included in the next LyX release.

Re: align figure and equation inside of a float

2006-03-31 Thread Robert Orr

you could try putting two mini pages in that float,
then in first one put the graphic, in the other put
the equation.   Insert horizontal fill in between the
two mini pages.  Size the two pages at 70% and
25%, or whatever looks best.

Attached example.

Re: Different fonts in LyX 1.3.4

2006-03-31 Thread Richard Heck


You need to install the TrueType font you're trying to use into LaTeX
before you can use it. There are several guides for doing so on the web,
e.g.: http://www.radamir.com/tex/ttf-tex.htm. Try a google search for more.

Are you sure the glyph you want to use isn't available already?

yX/Mac-1.4.0 on Mac OS 10.4.5 - Font difficulties

2006-03-31 Thread David McMillen

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this (always a bad  
sign when a message starts this way, I know!), but . . .


I'm having recurring problems getting my documents to render  
correctly on the OS X version of LyX.  What seems to happen is that  
each time I preview the PDF file, it starts out initially as
gibberish (many black bars, boxes, etc. in the equations), then each  
successive preview "fixes" more and more of the bits, or at least  
causes the gibberish to move around the page, until eventually I get  
a clean copy that looks the way I expected -- see the attached series  
of screen captures.  [Correction: Screen captures available on  
request, but the mailing list can't accept files of that size.]   So  
it works eventually, but it takes some time-- does anyone have any  
theories as to why?


It looks like something to do with the fonts needing to be  
regenerated when they're going to be used, or something.  If I close  
LyX then reopen it immediately, it seems to render them correctly  
thefirst time.  But I've also seen weird problems where I see the  
fonts perfectly well on the screen, but they turn back into gibberish  
when I try to print them on my (hp LaserJet, PostScript) printer.  If  
there were some way to fix this, I'd love to hear about it!


I followed the TeX installation instructions at:

http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/installing.html

using i-Installer.

Thanks,

What happens when you use LyX to export to LaTeX, and then run LaTeX
manually (from within TeXShop, e.g.)? If the problems are the same
there, you probably want to ask your question on the TeX on MacOS X
mailing list, which can be accessed here: (scroll 1/2-way down the page to see the links).

If the problems are unique to LyX, perhaps you can provide a minimal
example file that reveals the problem. Also, does anything get
printed out to Console.app when you typeset from within LyX?

Thanks Juergen!  That did it.  Can I post your response to a couple of other 
places?  I asked on comp.text.tex and I'd like to post your solution on that in 
case someone else is tracking it.

Again, thanks very much.  This was driving me crazy.  I was trying to edit the 
.bbl file to have \pagebreaks before the offending entries and it just seemed 
wrong (I want LaTeX to do the arranging for me!).

Sure. It's no mental property (and of course not my invention).

Here's some documentation on that issue:

The actual part about headers and footers is here:

but I'd recommend reading the whole document to understand what's in the 
headers and footers section.

Edge to edge footer?

Hi all,

My book uses the memoir document class. At the bottom of all pages not 
beginning a chapter, I need a brown stripe going all the way across the page, 
with some white writing in it. I'm using a minipage and containing a shaded 
environment, and it works, except that no matter what I do, I cannot get the 
shading to start at the left edge, but instead it starts at the left margin. 
I can \hspace{-5in} and it still starts at the margin.

This is only true when the minipage is in the footer. When ERT containing the 
minipage and shaded is placed in the body, the shaded can be started anywhere 
by preceding it with the proper \hspace{}. But that trick doesn't work in the 
footer.

Any ideas?

Thanks

SteveT

Identifying Error Locations: 1.4.0

2006-03-31 Thread Rich Shepard


  I'm modifying a beamer class presentation created with version 1.3.6 or .7,
but now I'm running 1.4.0. There is apparently a problem with the path to
included graphics files. Instead of having the old "Error" boxes, the new
version seems to just move somewhere in the vicinity of the ERT include box.
Is this how we now know the location of the error?

LyX to OpenOffice

Dear Stephen,

Gladly.  I attach the program and supporting files in a zip file.
Just locate the zip file in your home directory and extract it there.  It will 
create a folder named "ConvLaTex" in your documents directory with the 
programs, dictionaries etc.  It will also place a link in your home directory 
to the Lyx document explaining the thing and where I've got to.  You can of 
course delete the zip file once unpacked, and the link when you've finished 
with it.


Should I copy it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as well?  


Regards,

Nick Thomas



Thank you for the zipfile. I will test its capability.
The zipfile is about 95k and I think is too large to be
attached in an email to the User list, so an interested
party can write you with a request. Perhaps putting it
on the LyX Wiki is a good idea?

I think ConvTex.lyx is small enough to attach to the
User list though, and will allow those interested to
read a bit about this. There are requests for how to
convert to Word and html and this may prove to be a
good tool and a valuable addition to the LyXer toolkit.

Best regards,
Stephen

You're not wrong Griera,

Thank you. That is one work around and will save me building a .deb from the 
Lyx 1.4 source, which I can't even get too from the Lyx website. which might 
also be another bug.

The above was copied out of Lyx.

Thanks again,

I had a bit more of a rummage around and I managed to export the

The only difference appears to be the {\string"Figures/Fluid mosaic 
model\string".jpg} part. I tried numerous other methods, involving ERT, 
making the figure eps, and placing it in the same directory as the lyx 
file. When I used the last two methods together, the latex code was 
identical to the example, but still nothing in the export!!! Quite 
frustrating!




There's nothing visibly wrong with the argument \string"Figures/Fluid 
mosaic model\string".jpg, assuming that your image is named 'Fluid 
mosaic model.jpg' and lives in a folder named 'Figures' directly under 
the folder containing the LyX file.


When you say no image appears in the exported version ...

1.  Do you mean an error message is produced (if so, what does it say?) 
or just that there's an empty space in the PDF file where the image 
should be?  (You might have to look in the TeX log file to see if 
there's an error message.)


2.  How are you doing the export: export to .tex and run pdflatex or 
something equivalent; export to PDF using the LyX File->Export menu 
(which method?); or View->PDF (again, which method)?


All else failing, can you post a minimal example (a LyX doc with just 
enough content to demonstrate the failure, and the required .jpg file).
