Re: rotated eps figures using different pdf views
Gregor Goldbach schrieb: Hi list, I have an interesting problem which is hopefully not a FAQ. I use eps figures in my document. The resulting PDF contains these figures rotated by 90 degrees... sometimes. ;) Using pdflatex gives rotated figures (90 degress), using dvipdfm does *not* rotate them. The figures are generated with dia (dia -t eps-pango file.dia) and have a correct bounding box. Viewing the pdf (Which converter is that? pdflatex or dvipdfm?) does also *not* rotate the figures. I'd rather use pdflatex than dvipdfm. Where should I look for errors? Is it dia, LyX or pdflatex? ;) I think I remember an answer to this by Georg who said that the problem is that the pdf spec is ambiguous for this rotation stuff. So different programs interpret it differently, and there's nothing that can be done. People please correct me if I got it wrong. -sven

Re: OpenOffice vs. LyX

Re: Font changes
The behavior is weird, just check the attached examples (each one with a different font). I'm using the Document - Configuration - Text Design (i believe this is the english dialog, because I have the spanish one) dialog to change the font. For some of them, the change is just in size to the main title. In all of them, the title keeps the sans serif font. I just can see some change in the normal paragraph font using the Helvetica font. The only way I can change all the fonts is using a non standard package in the preamble, like the attached example using Pandora. Is it a bug of LyX??? Thanks for your help...

If you want to use Helvetica for the main text, you'll have to change the body
font family to sans serif first. In preamble:
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
The font dialog of LyX is indeed confusing (and LyX 1.5 will come with a

[announce] LyX150svn from 23-01-2007 for Windows
Hello LyXTesters, I published a new version with LyX1.5.0svn from 23-01-2007: http://developer.berlios.de/project/shownotes.php?release_id=120834 This fixes the InstantPreview issues. Installer Changelog: - LyX 1.5svn from 23-01-2007: - InstantPreview and formal tables now work properly - fix some problems when file paths have accented characters - new toolbar to view/update view documents - lots of crashes fixed - fix crash when viewing PDF when Acrobat 8 Standard/Professional is used - an existing Python installation is now only used for LyX when it is Python 2.5 (some Compaq and Dell computers are delivered with outdated Python interpreters) - the thesaurus program Aiksaurus that is used by LyX is now registered separately from LyX - updated to ImageMagick 6.3.2-0 Thanks to Christian Ridderström: - updated Swedish translation of the installer Thanks to Szõke Sándor: - updated Hungarian translation of the installer Thanks to Edwin Leuven: - updated Dutch translation of the installer Known problem: - LyX's package and class database is incomplete when you don't have an open internet connection while LyX is first started. (This is a bug in MiKTeX.) Workaround: open an internet connection and reconfigure LyX happy testing and best regards Uwe --- disclaimer --- LyXsvn builds are for testers and interested LyXers to see the new features. If you find bugs, please have a look at http://bugzilla.lyx.org and report them there if they aren't already reported. Note! LyX1.5svn is still in alpha state, that means it is under very active development. Therefore things can change every day, so don't use LyX1.5svn for production!

Jean-Marc Lasgouttes wrote: Paul == Paul A Rubin [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Paul Hi all, I've got a recurring issue with LyX 1.4.3-4 (and -5, I Paul think). It manifests as LyX displaying the wrong glyphs for some Paul symbols in math insets (although math preview converts them Paul correctly). For instance, the integral sign displays as a Paul capital R. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Bakoma4LyX fonts Paul cures the problem, and previously I've blamed this (possibly Paul incorrectly) on the fonts that install with LyX. However, it Paul happened again today, and I have not updated LyX on my laptop Paul recently. Sure enough, deleting the eight TrueType font files in Paul the Bakoma4LyX package and then reinstalling them cured the Paul problem. However, before I did that I ran file comparisons Paul between the ones in the Bakoma4LyX archive and the ones in the Paul Windows font directory, and they were identical! I thought the fonts were installed in LyX' font/ subdirectory. Are you really supposed to install them globally too? LyX 1.3.x required global installation. Somewhere around LyX 1.4.2, LyX started providing them in a font/ subdirectory, but that's when I started getting display adventures. So I deleted the LyX font/ directory and reinstalled globally. Could it be that the problem occurs when you run two instances of LyX simultaneously? Then quitting one of them would unregister the fonts. That happens on rare occasions (when I double-click a document before remembering that LyX is already open), but the display problem occurs with just one version running. I did a font reinstall yesterday that 'fixed' the display. Today it's back to being screwed up, and I don't think I have run two instances of LyX simultaneously in the interim. Even if the fonts are unregistered, shouldn't starting LyX (with no other instances running) reregister them? Thanks for the idea, /Paul

It proved to be quite a problem because, after OO, I tried Koffice Word which had some font kerning problems that made it unusable for me. I should add that other people claimed that they could still use it. The versions of Abiword that I tried were also had bugs surrounding the styles.

Ah, Steve wrote I originally wrote using MS Word so I guess that you imported in OOo your original MS Word document. By doing so, you imported styles that you created in MS Word and automated MS Word styles in OOo. These styles are working differently, I'm really not surprised of your messy results! Like in LyX, if you really want to import a text from another tool, it is better to simply import the text and to manually create or use OOo styles.

like:

The figures are generated with dia (dia -t eps-pango file.dia) and have a correct bounding box. Viewing the pdf (Which converter is that? pdflatex or dvipdfm?) does also *not* rotate the figures. I'd rather use pdflatex than dvipdfm. Where should I look for errors?

If you want to use Helvetica for the main text, you'll have to change the body
font family to sans serif first. In preamble:
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
The font dialog of LyX is indeed confusing (and LyX 1.5 will come with a

[announce] LyX150svn from 23-01-2007 for Windows
Hello LyXTesters, I published a new version with LyX1.5.0svn from 23-01-2007: http://developer.berlios.de/project/shownotes.php?release_id=120834 This fixes the InstantPreview issues. Installer Changelog: - LyX 1.5svn from 23-01-2007: - InstantPreview and formal tables now work properly - fix some problems when file paths have accented characters - new toolbar to view/update view documents - lots of crashes fixed - fix crash when viewing PDF when Acrobat 8 Standard/Professional is used - an existing Python installation is now only used for LyX when it is Python 2.5 (some Compaq and Dell computers are delivered with outdated Python interpreters) - the thesaurus program Aiksaurus that is used by LyX is now registered separately from LyX - updated to ImageMagick 6.3.2-0 Thanks to Christian Ridderström: - updated Swedish translation of the installer Thanks to Szõke Sándor: - updated Hungarian translation of the installer Thanks to Edwin Leuven: - updated Dutch translation of the installer Known problem: - LyX's package and class database is incomplete when you don't have an open internet connection while LyX is first started. (This is a bug in MiKTeX.) Workaround: open an internet connection and reconfigure LyX happy testing and best regards Uwe --- disclaimer --- LyXsvn builds are for testers and interested LyXers to see the new features. If you find bugs, please have a look at http://bugzilla.lyx.org and report them there if they aren't already reported. Note! LyX1.5svn is still in alpha state, that means it is under very active development. Therefore things can change every day, so don't use LyX1.5svn for production!

I hope you have learnt your lesson: LyX is always worth the effort ;-) Strange. I have been using OOo for about 2 years without any real problems and it has been a great relief to get away from Word. One of the big problems that former MS Word users have is expecting it to work in the same way as Word and while it superficially looks like Word it is not the same under the hood. I know of several books that have been published using OOo. It works quite well but I suspect that if you know how to set up LyX properly it would be as fast and better than doing the same thing in OOo particularly if you're writing academic or technical books It certainly does not do all the things that Word does but the Word does not do all the things that OOo does. But I do hope that some day (in lyx 1.5 perhaps?) there will be a nice gui to customize styles/layouts in LyX. that will be so easy to use so that even a person that never have used LyX can use it and create stuff so beautiful that it would put MS Word and OO out of business.

If they stayed created, they'd magically change properties from time to time. Numbers kept changing to bullets and vice versa. I'm scared I'll be fine tuning this document every time it's edited in any way, or even printed. I will NEVER AGAIN write a book in OpenOffice. I have seen it done. It does mean you need to learn a fair bit about how OOo Writer works. As a new LyX user I suspect that I would use LyX rather than OOo for a book and probably for major reports. However if you need a good word processor/spreadsheet/graphics program/decent presention program/fairly database for zero money it is a good deal. I don't understand why you had missing styles but I suspect they were not missing as much as they were under a different menu item in the Stylist. Bullets/numbers may have meant an buggy version. Try upgrading to OOo 2.04 or 2.1 Like any large program it takes time to figure out the idiosyncraces Yeah, it's tough to create custom styles in LyX (LaTeX), but at least once they're made, they stay made, and always print the same way. While writing this derivative book, not a day goes by where I don't miss LyX.

Jean-Marc Lasgouttes wrote: Paul == Paul A Rubin [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Paul Hi all, I've got a recurring issue with LyX 1.4.3-4 (and -5, I Paul think). It manifests as LyX displaying the wrong glyphs for some Paul symbols in math insets (although math preview converts them Paul correctly). For instance, the integral sign displays as a Paul capital R. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Bakoma4LyX fonts Paul cures the problem, and previously I've blamed this (possibly Paul incorrectly) on the fonts that install with LyX. However, it Paul happened again today, and I have not updated LyX on my laptop Paul recently. Sure enough, deleting the eight TrueType font files in Paul the Bakoma4LyX package and then reinstalling them cured the Paul problem. However, before I did that I ran file comparisons Paul between the ones in the Bakoma4LyX archive and the ones in the Paul Windows font directory, and they were identical! I thought the fonts were installed in LyX' font/ subdirectory. Are you really supposed to install them globally too? LyX 1.3.x required global installation. Somewhere around LyX 1.4.2, LyX started providing them in a font/ subdirectory, but that's when I started getting display adventures. So I deleted the LyX font/ directory and reinstalled globally. Could it be that the problem occurs when you run two instances of LyX simultaneously? Then quitting one of them would unregister the fonts. That happens on rare occasions (when I double-click a document before remembering that LyX is already open), but the display problem occurs with just one version running. I did a font reinstall yesterday that 'fixed' the display. Today it's back to being screwed up, and I don't think I have run two instances of LyX simultaneously in the interim. Even if the fonts are unregistered, shouldn't starting LyX (with no other instances running) reregister them? Thanks for the idea, /Paul

Styles and bullets just wouldn't stay set. I don't know to what extent things have improved since then. I'm left wondering how these people who claimed that they used that version of OO for serious work actually got anything done. It proved to be quite a problem because, after OO, I tried Koffice Word which had some font kerning problems that made it unusable for me. I should add that other people claimed that they could still use it. The versions of Abiword that I tried were also had bugs surrounding the styles. In the end, it was probably all for the best as it led me to discover Lyx and now that I've learnt Lyx I prefer this way of working. Bit of a problem for Linux as a platform that I was unable to install a fully working standard word processor though. -- http://www.unmusic.co.uk - about me, music, geek sitcom etc. http://www.unmusic.co.uk/amhs/ - alt.music.home-studio

The problem turned out to be with John's EPS file. It's got what I believe is a bitmap (preview image?) embedded in it, along with the vector commands, and it appears that ImageMagick sees the bitmap and chooses to convert that. All of the following produced what looked to me to be good quality output: * manually editing the EPS file to get rid of the binary stuff produced a clean conversion (via ImageMagick); * running 'convert -density 300x300 ...' on the original file; * loading the original image into Ghostview and using File-Convert with device=pdfwrite and resolution=600; and * running the original file through Acrobat Distiller. /Paul
OpenOffice vs. LyX

Ah, Steve wrote I originally wrote using MS Word so I guess that you imported in OOo your original MS Word document. By doing so, you imported styles that you created in MS Word and automated MS Word styles in OOo. These styles are working differently, I'm really not surprised of your messy results! Like in LyX, if you really want to import a text from another tool, it is better to simply import the text and to manually create or use OOo styles. There is even an overcharged styles suppressor (éradicateur de surcharges in french) to help you, you may find it at http://www.indesko.com/telechargements/eradicateur_de_surch While I REALLY enjoy LyX for a lot of works, I find OOo quite useful too and very stable. I prefer OOWriter to MS Word for it's strong styles behavior and because OOo is Open ;-) ! Don't call OOo crap, learn to use it correctly like you once learned me to use LyX more efficiently in http://www.troubleshooters.com/lpm/200210/200210.htm.

math equation in two lines
How do I get the following math equation in two lines in order to fit it to a
two-column style:
(Produktion_Substanz_zur_Zeit_(t)=(-K*(Konzentration_zur_Zeit_(t-t_{0}))
like:
(Produktion_Substanz_zur_Zeit_(t)
=(-K*(Konzentration_zur_Zeit_(t-t_{0}))
(the _ are in Lyx the rectangular laying brackets used to add e.g. additional
space by pressing the control and space key)
As it is now, the equation runs into the second column of my text.

Re: OpenOffice vs. LyX
Unfortunatly I must also say that OpenOffice is far behind MS Word. I'm trying to forget how to use Ms Word and OO, it always just ends up in a total mess if I try to do something except just writing letters and pressing space and enter for formating. I hope you have learnt your lesson: LyX is always worth the effort ;-) But I do hope that some day (in lyx 1.5 perhaps?) there will be a nice gui to customize styles/layouts in LyX. that will be so easy to use so that even a person that never have used LyX can use it and create stuff so beautiful that it would put MS Word and OO out of business.

Re: Font changes
The behavior is weird, just check the attached examples (each one with a different font). I'm using the Document -> Configuration -> Text Design (i believe this is the english dialog, because I have the spanish one) dialog to change the font. For some of them, the change is just in size to the main title. In all of them, the title keeps the sans serif font. I just can see some change in the normal paragraph font using the Helvetica font. The only way I can change all the fonts is using a non standard package in the preamble, like the attached example using Pandora. Is it a bug of LyX??? Thanks for your help...

If you want to use Helvetica for the main text, you'll have to change the body
font family to sans serif first. In preamble:
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
The font dialog of LyX is indeed confusing (and LyX 1.5 will come with a
completely rewritten font interface which addresses those problems).

Re: EPS problem
It seems ghostscript is called with the wrong "sDEVICE" option. In your case it is "bmpsep8", while it should be "pdfwrite".
