\def\rmdefault{ptm}
which is still better than \usepackage{times}).
There's also the following hack:
\usepackage{amsmath}
\renewcommand\boldsymbol[1]{\pmb{#1}}
This fakes bold symbols by means of overprinting. Not very nice either.
But it might still be better than silently dropping the bold
attribute of symbols.
The question is: Given a document with DefaultFont==Times and use of
\boldsymbol, whether LyX should
a) implement this fallback
* always
* if Use AMS == auto or always
* if Use AMS == always
b) recommend it in the docs
c) mention it in the docs

IMO, LyX should support the officially recommended version (i.e. mathptmx)
in the DocumentSettingsFonts Tab.
Other (deprecated as well as exotic or just still not supported) choices
can be done choosing Default in the Fonts tab and LaTeX commands in the
DocumentsSettingsLaTeX preamble.
E.g. I am using \usepackage{libertine}

Re: turn off page numbers but still count page
Thanks for your reply, thing is, the page I want without a number
contains a large table (hence a clash with the number) which I do not
want to reduce in size. When I insert ERT \thispagestyle{empty} just
before the table lyx takes the page number off the previous page, and if
I place it just after, lyx takes the page number off the next page, but
not the page containing the table. If I place the latex command within
the table figure, I get errors that the document is damaged. Please can

I see the same problem, except that I don't get the
error mentioned. (The desired effect is not achieved though.)
Here is how I did it.
One the page before the table, put:
\thispagestyle{plain}\pagestyle{empty}
Explanation:
The \pagestyle{empty} will make this page
and all following pages numberless. So, the table
page will be numberless. Since you don't want the page
before the table numberless, compensate that with \thispagestyle{plain}.
On the page after the table, put:
\pagestyle{plain}
in order to enable numbers again from that page and
all the rest.
If plain isn't what you want, subsitute headings,
myheadings, or fancy. I.e. the same as you
have in document settings.

Perfectly. I use TeXShop to view pdf files, and I've never had a

One reason I use Times/Helvetica/Courier (the obsolete packages

LyX 1.5 crashes on startup
I've recently upgraded my pc's (two laptops and one desktop) from slackware 10.2 to 12.0. I looked at the existing packages for lyx. As I could not find anything more recent then 1.5.0, I decided to build the last stable version on my desktop pc using the appropriate Slackbuild. So, I compiled qt4 (4.3.3) during one day and lyx 1.5.4 during the following night. I installed the resulting packages on my laptop and was quite happy to see that the time spent on compiling was not lost since lyx 1.5.4 was running perfectly. Today I installed the same packages on my desktop (where they were created), and I got a SIGSEGV on lyx startup. The software packages on my desktop and on my laptop are almost identical since I loaded them recently. The hardware is quite old: a Pentium III 500MHz with 256M for the laptop and a Duron 700MHz with 512M for the desktop. Any idea of what's might be wrong there?

new lines disappearing in program listings
I'm new to Lyx and I'm hoping that the problems I'm encountering are just due to my ignorance. I have a large existing code base in my development environment which I am going to be copying into my Lyx document as program listings. I had an existing Latex document with program listings in it using the lstlisting environment. When I imported this document into Lyx all of the newlines in the program listings disappeared. Similarly, if I copy code from my development environment (Visual Studio 2008) and paste it into a program listing block in Lyx all of the newlines are discarded. If I have a properly formatted program listing, with newlines, in a Lyx document and I export the Lyx document to a Latex file and then import the Latex file back into Lyx all of the newlines in program listing blocks disappear. It's terribly inconvenient and time-consuming to have to reinsert all of the newlines by hand and retyping the code in Lyx is also an unattractive option because I have so much of it and because this will certainly introduce transcription errors. Is this newline deletion a bug or is there something I can set to prevent the newlines from disappearing? This e-mail was created using speech recognition software. If the spelling, grammar, or wording seems strange it's the software's fault not mine.

I think this was covered elsewhere already in a recent thread, but here

Jenny, you can use '\thispagestyle{empty}' [in an ERT box] to suppress the

Lucio, I think you could just make a PDF of the other pages and insert them.

Try inserting two page breaks (one to end the previous page, one to end
the blank page) and between them insert in ERT
'\thispagestyle{empty}\addtocounter{page}{-1}'.

Re: new lines disappearing in program listings
Brian Guenter wrote: I'm new to Lyx and I'm hoping that the problems I'm encountering are just due to my ignorance. I have a large existing code base in my development environment which I am going to be copying into my Lyx document as program listings. I had an existing Latex document with program listings in it using the lstlisting environment. When I imported this document into Lyx all of the newlines in the program listings disappeared. Confirmed. Similarly, if I copy code from my development environment (Visual Studio 2008) and paste it into a program listing block in Lyx all of the newlines are discarded. Try Edit - Paste Special - Plain Text (C-S-V). This works for me (meaning the newlines are preserved). If I have a properly formatted program listing, with newlines, in a Lyx document and I export the Lyx document to a Latex file and then import the Latex file back into Lyx all of the newlines in program listing blocks disappear. Confirmed. It's terribly inconvenient and time-consuming to have to reinsert all of the newlines by hand and retyping the code in Lyx is also an unattractive option because I have so much of it and because this will certainly introduce transcription errors. Is this newline deletion a bug or is there something I can set to prevent the newlines from disappearing? It's a bug (or a lack of a feature, or a lag in implementing a feature). Support for the listings environment is relatively new to LyX. LyX uses a program called tex2lyx to convert LaTeX files to LyX file. My guess is that tex2lyx has not caught up to the implementation of the listings package, and it's tex2lyx that's eating the newlines. You might want to file a bug report against this. (I did a quick search and couldn't find one.) Also, if you run 'tex2lyx --help', you'll see a rather intriguing reference to the -s option: -s syntaxfile read additional syntax file. Assuming one can find some documentation on syntax files for tex2lyx (so far I can't), perhaps one can implement a modification to preserve newlines in listings that way. /Paul
Inserting graphics of the appropriate type: how to?
For many plots in a sub directory PlotFigures, I have 2 versions, one in eps version and one in pdf version. With Lyx-1.5.3 on Fedora Linux 8, I'm using a koma-script book format. I've run up against this problem inserting graphics. When I insert a pdf figure, then in the DVI/postscript output, the output is not good because there's a big blank area at the top of the figure. In the pdf output, the document is good (presumably because the figure was pdf, the latex processor handles it well). On the other hand, if I insert the eps figure in Lyx, then the DVI/postscript output is good, but the pdf output looks bad. I think this is happening because there really is a big white area at the top of the pdf files, and I will have to remedy that for future figures. But for working with the existing images, what is a good approach? I've been reading lyx-user archives. In some email messages from this list, I see users ask this question and they are advised to omit the image type from the LyX insert. LyX will use eps for DVI output and pdf for pdf output. I mean, if a graphic is available as Plot-001.eps or Plot-001.pdf, then one should simply insert the figure name Plot-001 and the LaTeX processor will choose the correct format. However, when I try that in LyX, I see figure not found on the screen. What's up with that? In retrospect, I see I need to do more work in the R script that manufactures the images, because I think I can stop the pdf output from including that giant white space at the top of the pdf.

Easy is a relative term. :-)
You can type each part of the quote twice (consecutively) in only
environments, surround the second version of each with '\alert{' and '|'
in ERT, then specify which overlays will contain the regular parts and
which will contain the alerted parts. You will need separators (near
the bottom of the environment drop-down list) to separate consecutive
only blocks; otherwise they run together.
I've attached a small example. It's a bit more complicated than what I
described above, because I wanted to center the quote, and the layout
file for the Beamer class does not allow specification of horizontal
alignment in 'only' environments. So I put each line of verse in a
standard paragraph (Beamer doesn't seem to have a verse environment, or
if it does the layout file does not support it), centered that
paragraph, then nested it into the corresponding 'only' block. This has
the side effect of double spacing the quote. To get centering with
single spacing, you can try putting the quote directly into the 'only'
block and then putting '\centering{' and '}' around it in ERT. (I
didn't bother to test this.)

Either some programs are not entirely reliable about getting the bounding box in correctly, or else they deliberately make the image a full page. I use both EPS and PDF images in my lecture slides (Beamer, output using pdfLaTeX), and both display fine. I often do have to manually clip the PDF images, though. I just opened one and, for the heck of it, clicked the button in the LyX dialog to read the bounding box from the file. It zeroed out all four values. I'm a bit surprised at your earlier comment that PDF output using an EPS image looks bad. I have not had that problem. IIRC, LyX converts the EPS file to a PDF file in the temp directory. I seem to recall a problem a while back where something was being given a parameter that called for too low a resolution in the output. You might check whether you have an EPS to PDF converter defined in LyX and, if so, you might want to experiment with changing it. Before doing this, my suggestion would be to stick an EPS image in a document, View - PDF (pdflatex), then poke into the LyX temp directory, open the converted PDF image and see if it looks fuzzy in acroread or evince or whatever. If so, you need to tweak the conversion process. If not, the problem lies elsewhere. /Paul

Listing. Right click the widget handle to see all the controllable

I know the mentioned problems with listings but they are not easy to
solve. I also recommend using a listings child document for long
listings.
I have been using the listings package quite a lot. Since LyX 1.4 it
works perfectly if used in ERT boxes (pre 1.4 versions added an extra
new-line after every hard line break, which required some trickery
with negative linkeskip values to yield a good result.)
I never used the new listings inset, though. In my opinion, ERT boxes
are just perfect for in-text listings of code. Listings clearly is one
of the best documented packages available in the LaTeX world and has a
very convenient interface, so hand coding listings options is not at
all painful. All one should do is to define a listings style with all
necessary default settings in the preamble (a good practice anyway).
Then only two actual LaTeX lines have to be in each ERT box:
\begin{lstlisting}[style=ac]
#include Win32Error.h
aspect ThrowWin32Errors {
advice call( win32::Win32API() ) : after() {
if( win32::IsError( *tjp-result() ) {
throw win32::Exception();
}
}
};
\end{lstlisting}
Keeping (short) listings in ERT boxes this way has a some clear
advantages:
- The on-screen formatting is easy, as within ERT a typewriter font is
used.
- The spell checker skips ERT boxes, hence the listings do not get
spell checked (that always annoyed me with LyxCode)
- Extra options can easily be passed as additional optional parameters
in the square brackets.
For longer listings I recommend to not input them as LyX child
documents, but keep them in ordinary text files using the
\lstinputlisting command in ERT:
\lstinputlisting[style=aclisting]{../src/win32eh-app.cpp}
Just my two cents,
Daniel

I see the same problem, except that I don't get the

Here is how I did it.
One the page before the table, put:
\thispagestyle{plain}\pagestyle{empty}
Explanation:
The \pagestyle{empty} will make this page
and all following pages numberless. So, the table
page will be numberless. Since you don't want the page
before the table numberless, compensate that with \thispagestyle{plain}.
On the page after the table, put:
\pagestyle{plain}
in order to enable numbers again from that page and
all the rest.
If plain isn't what you want, subsitute headings,
myheadings, or fancy. I.e. the same as you

LyX 1.5 crashes on startup
I've recently upgraded my pc's (two laptops and one desktop) from slackware 10.2 to 12.0. I looked at the existing packages for lyx. As I could not find anything more recent then 1.5.0, I decided to build the last stable version on my desktop pc using the appropriate Slackbuild. So, I compiled qt4 (4.3.3) during one day and lyx 1.5.4 during the following night. I installed the resulting packages on my laptop and was quite happy to see that the time spent on compiling was not lost since lyx 1.5.4 was running perfectly. Today I installed the same packages on my desktop (where they were created), and I got a SIGSEGV on lyx startup. The software packages on my desktop and on my laptop are almost identical since I loaded them recently. The hardware is quite old: a Pentium III 500MHz with 256M for the laptop and a Duron 700MHz with 512M for the desktop. Any idea of what's might be wrong there?

In Document - Settings... - Document class, pick from: article (AMS); article (AMS, sequential numbering); article (AMS, unnumbered); or (if you're really wordy) book (AMS). The differences among the article classes have to do with how theorem-like things are numbered. All three have theorems, lemmas, corollaries etc. on the environment list. The four AMS layout files load a bunch of include files that define all these things and tell LyX how to display and number them.

I see the same problem, except that I don't get the

Here is how I did it.
One the page before the table, put:
\thispagestyle{plain}\pagestyle{empty}
Explanation:
The \pagestyle{empty} will make this page
and all following pages numberless. So, the table
page will be numberless. Since you don't want the page
before the table numberless, compensate that with \thispagestyle{plain}.
On the page after the table, put:
\pagestyle{plain}
in order to enable numbers again from that page and
all the rest.
If plain isn't what you want, subsitute headings,
myheadings, or fancy. I.e. the same as you

new lines disappearing in program listings
I'm new to Lyx and I'm hoping that the problems I'm encountering are just due to my ignorance. I have a large existing code base in my development environment which I am going to be copying into my Lyx document as program listings. I had an existing Latex document with program listings in it using the lstlisting environment. When I imported this document into Lyx all of the newlines in the program listings disappeared. Similarly, if I copy code from my development environment (Visual Studio 2008) and paste it into a program listing block in Lyx all of the newlines are discarded. If I have a properly formatted program listing, with newlines, in a Lyx document and I export the Lyx document to a Latex file and then import the Latex file back into Lyx all of the newlines in program listing blocks disappear. It's terribly inconvenient and time-consuming to have to reinsert all of the newlines by hand and retyping the code in Lyx is also an unattractive option because I have so much of it and because this will certainly introduce transcription errors. Is this newline deletion a bug or is there something I can set to prevent the newlines from disappearing? This e-mail was created using speech recognition software. If the spelling, grammar, or wording seems strange it's the software's fault not mine.

I think this was covered elsewhere already in a recent thread, but here
goes:
Jenny, you can use '\thispagestyle{empty}' [in an ERT box] to suppress the
number being printed but still count the page in the counter.
Lucio, I think you could just make a PDF of the other pages and insert them.
I'm not sure if they'll be counted or not. Someone else will have to help on
that.

Is this newline deletion a bug or is there something I can set to prevent the newlines from disappearing? It's a bug (or a lack of a feature, or a lag in implementing a feature). Support for the listings environment is relatively new to LyX. LyX uses a program called tex2lyx to convert LaTeX files to LyX file. My guess is that tex2lyx has not caught up to the implementation of the listings package, and it's tex2lyx that's eating the newlines. You might want to file a bug report against this. (I did a quick search and couldn't find one.) Also, if you run 'tex2lyx --help', you'll see a rather intriguing reference to the -s option: -s syntaxfile read additional syntax file. Assuming one can find some documentation on syntax files for tex2lyx (so far I can't), perhaps one can implement a modification to preserve newlines in listings that way. /Paul
Inserting graphics of the appropriate type: how to?
For many plots in a sub directory PlotFigures, I have 2 versions, one in eps version and one in pdf version. With Lyx-1.5.3 on Fedora Linux 8, I'm using a koma-script book format. I've run up against this problem inserting graphics. When I insert a pdf figure, then in the DVI/postscript output, the output is not good because there's a big blank area at the top of the figure. In the pdf output, the document is good (presumably because the figure was pdf, the latex processor handles it well). On the other hand, if I insert the eps figure in Lyx, then the DVI/postscript output is good, but the pdf output looks bad. I think this is happening because there really is a big white area at the top of the pdf files, and I will have to remedy that for future figures. But for working with the existing images, what is a good approach? I've been reading lyx-user archives. In some email messages from this list, I see users ask this question and they are advised to omit the image type from the LyX insert. LyX will use eps for DVI output and pdf for pdf output. I mean, if a graphic is available as Plot-001.eps or Plot-001.pdf, then one should simply insert the figure name Plot-001 and the LaTeX processor will choose the correct format. However, when I try that in LyX, I see figure not found on the screen. What's up with that? In retrospect, I see I need to do more work in the R script that manufactures the images, because I think I can stop the pdf output from including that giant white space at the top of the pdf. But it seems weird to have to do that in order to get an EPS output file. -- Paul E. Johnson Professor, Political Science 1541 Lilac Lane, Room 504 University of Kansas

Re: Highlighting inside a text in Beamer
Manolo Martínez wrote:
Hello,
I'm writing my first presentation with Beamer, and I've stumbled upon
the following problem I'd like to have a quote such that the slide first
presents the quote as it is and, then, when I push a key, one passage is
highlighted first and, when I push again, another passage is
highlighted. I cannot see any way to do this using \alert. Is there an
easy way?
Easy is a relative term. :-)
You can type each part of the quote twice (consecutively) in only
environments, surround the second version of each with '\alert{' and '|'
in ERT, then specify which overlays will contain the regular parts and
which will contain the alerted parts. You will need separators (near
the bottom of the environment drop-down list) to separate consecutive
only blocks; otherwise they run together.
I've attached a small example. It's a bit more complicated than what I
described above, because I wanted to center the quote, and the layout
file for the Beamer class does not allow specification of horizontal
alignment in 'only' environments. So I put each line of verse in a
standard paragraph (Beamer doesn't seem to have a verse environment, or
if it does the layout file does not support it), centered that
paragraph, then nested it into the corresponding 'only' block. This has
the side effect of double spacing the quote. To get centering with
single spacing, you can try putting the quote directly into the 'only'
block and then putting '\centering{' and '}' around it in ERT. (I
didn't bother to test this.)
