Re: Fuzzy fonts (Hebrew)
Ok, After a short discussion with Ivritex, I got this conclusion (and it might help some others, so I write it here). Using culmus fonts IS possible in ubuntu 7.04. This is the way to do that: * first of all, the right thing to do is to install texlive and not tetex; tetex is not maintained any more. * trying to install ivritex package will fail, because ivritex depends on tetex. * instead, we should install texlive-font-utils * Installing culmus fonts (and other Hebrew fonts): sudo aptitude install culmus culmus-fancy xfonts-efont-unicode xfonts-efont-unicode-ib xfonts-intl-european msttcorefonts * Installing culmus-latex package; first of all, downloading it from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=33341 (as Dov suggested) * extracting in some folder * make CULMUSDIR=/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/ TEXMFDIR=/usr/share/texmf-texlive/ * sudo make install CULMUSDIR=/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/ TEXMFDIR=/usr/share/texmf-texlive/ The last 2 commands are ubuntu 7.04/7.10-specific, but might work on other distros; if not, try to remove the CULMUSDIR=... (until the end of the line) and see if the make recognizes the right directories instead. Now my PDFs look much better! By the way, Dov - now, even using evince, the PDFs look great; maybe we can avoid adobe reader from now on? ;-) Thanks you all, and have a nice week, Peleg.

math symbols gone in lyx 1.3.4
Hello, I'using lyx 1.3.4 on SUSE Linux 9.1 since years. Now I migratet to mac using Suse Linux 9.1 with Parallels which works perfectly so far. I installed Lyx with the installation cds. Lyx works, but part of the mathematical symbols is gone. eg. there is int and cdot now written in red instead of the symbol. I could not perform an online-update since Suse Linux 9.1 is no longer supportet. I guess there is some library missing. I still have my old computer so I might be able to transfer this library. Does anybody know, if there is one place in the world which has still 9.1 patches? Thanks Robert ps: for those who wonder why I still use Sule Linux 9.1 and Lyx 1.3.4: The latex that comes with this version is much faster then the system on the Linux 9.3. My files are usually 200-300 page and contain 100 pictures. To compile the pdf, The 9.1 system takes 8 sec. and the 9.3 system takes 28 sec. If you have to check the layout and compile 20 times this is a big diference!

Using the IEEETran template, you need to go to Document - Settings...
- Math Options and check either Use AMS math package or Use AMS math
package automatically. For whatever reason, the automatically option
is on by default when you start a new document and set the class to
article (IEEEtran) but is off when you use the template. I'm not sure
if I'd call it a bug, but it might be a good idea for the developers to
switch AMS on in the template.

Thanks a lot for the hint, it seems that the problem happens not only to
IEEEtrans template but also to other Templates as well. Hope the coming
version will solve it.

Re: Downloading missing latex classes
Nicolás wrote: Hi! Today, after a long, long time without crashing, my copy of LyX 1.5.2 crashed. I decided then to upgrade to 1.5.4. Installation went ok, but when I launched LyX, a dialog message notifying about the need to download a missing latex class appeared. So far so good. The problem is that when I pressed the OK button, the dialog dissapeared and was not replaced by any other. I assumed that LyX was downloading the class in the background, but after a while I had to confirmed this by looking at the Task Manager (in Windows). I think that LyX should show a dialog where the user could see the progress of the downloading process. I'm pretty sure LyX wasn't downloading the class, MiKTeX was. (Actually, I assume this was a style and not a class -- a class would need a layout, and the layout would not be activated unless LyX saw the class.) Anyway, if I'm right that it was MiKTeX doing the download, I don't think LyX has any good way of knowing what MiKTeX is up to, let alone what progress it's making. Moreover, I think this behavior is somewhat unique to MiKTeX, and hence to Windows. For instance, I have TeX Live installed on Linux, and if TeX Live can download packages automatically on the fly, it's news to me. A download progress dialog would indeed be nice, but maybe that should be suggested to Christian Schenk. /Paul
Again table caption issue
Hi all,
I'm sorry to keep bothering with same issue.
With help of Bob Lounsbury and Uwe Stoher, I have right aligned caption
label and centered caption text in the next line with following code.
\usepackage{caption}
\DeclareCaptionFormat{custom}{\raggedleft\bfseries#1\par\centerlast\slshape#3\par}
\captionsetup[table]{format=custom}
But I couldn't change fonts of caption label to bold and caption text to
slanted as it supposed to.
I tried KOMA Script book class' own
\setkomafont{captionlabel}{\bfseries}
but couldn't get it change.
It doesn't give any error just doesn't change font.
I tried using regular book class but it didn't help.
What could cause caption font being so stubborn?
Thank you in advance

Thanks a lot for the hint, it seems that the problem happens not only to
IEEEtrans template but also to other Templates as well. Hope the coming
version will solve it.

Re: Downloading missing latex classes
Nicolás wrote: Hi! Today, after a long, long time without crashing, my copy of LyX 1.5.2 crashed. I decided then to upgrade to 1.5.4. Installation went ok, but when I launched LyX, a dialog message notifying about the need to download a missing latex class appeared. So far so good. The problem is that when I pressed the OK button, the dialog dissapeared and was not replaced by any other. I assumed that LyX was downloading the class in the background, but after a while I had to confirmed this by looking at the Task Manager (in Windows). I think that LyX should show a dialog where the user could see the progress of the downloading process. I'm pretty sure LyX wasn't downloading the class, MiKTeX was. (Actually, I assume this was a style and not a class -- a class would need a layout, and the layout would not be activated unless LyX saw the class.) Anyway, if I'm right that it was MiKTeX doing the download, I don't think LyX has any good way of knowing what MiKTeX is up to, let alone what progress it's making. Moreover, I think this behavior is somewhat unique to MiKTeX, and hence to Windows. For instance, I have TeX Live installed on Linux, and if TeX Live can download packages automatically on the fly, it's news to me. A download progress dialog would indeed be nice, but maybe that should be suggested to Christian Schenk. /Paul
Again table caption issue
Hi all,
I'm sorry to keep bothering with same issue.
With help of Bob Lounsbury and Uwe Stoher, I have right aligned caption
label and centered caption text in the next line with following code.
\usepackage{caption}
\DeclareCaptionFormat{custom}{\raggedleft\bfseries#1\par\centerlast\slshape#3\par}
\captionsetup[table]{format=custom}
But I couldn't change fonts of caption label to bold and caption text to
slanted as it supposed to.
I tried KOMA Script book class' own
\setkomafont{captionlabel}{\bfseries}
but couldn't get it change.
It doesn't give any error just doesn't change font.
I tried using regular book class but it didn't help.
What could cause caption font being so stubborn?
Thank you in advance
