unicode in math

[G. Milde]

Dear LyX users,

with LyX 1.6, using unicode characters other than the first block is
possible also in math mode.  The character in question is either replaced
by a math-equivalent (if defined in the unicodesymbols file) or by
text in math with the text-equivalent.

This is a vast improvement over the silent failure in LyX 1.5, my thanks
go out to the relevant developer(s)!

However, there remain some inconsistencies:

* while A is typeset italic, Ä (and other accented characters) are not.
* while l is typeset italic, λ (and other Greek characters) are not.

So, the question is:

* should Ä be replaced with \A in math?
  
  More generally: should latin-1 supplement characters for which a math
  equivalent exists use this instead of a text-version?

* should λ be replaced with \lambda in math?

  More generally: 
  
  * should Greek characters from the Greek and Coptic
unicode block use the math-equivalent, or

  * should only Greek symbols (from Greek and Coptic and/or from
Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols) be converted to math symbols?

and could these also show as italic in the LyX GUI?

Attached is a patch for Greek in math.

 Would either tikz or xy-pic do what you have in mind?


 
 It is easy to embed a compiled image (PDF, JPG, PNG, EPS, ...) from a
 suitable drawing/graphing program.  I take it that's not what you want?
 

Thank you for your hints and examples, i will experiment with both programs,

 The PDF/A Wikipedia page makes it look pretty straightforward -- all fonts

Maybe it's a font issue (the validator not knowing the CM latex fonts)?

How about trying the standard PS fonts, like

Hello,

When I use my BibTeX file (created with Jabref) in LyX with the natbib

That's even if I view/update the output several times. Any ideas why

Nope. I used Ernesto's example file w/ pdflatex and it worked as I  
described.


The problem would seem to be w/ the .pdf generated by Ghostscript  
since he's using dvips.


So prefix it w/ the following step:

 - take the source .ps file from dvips and distill it in Adobe  
Acrobat Distiller (instead of Ghostscript --- there should be an  
option to save a copy of the .ps) using the appropriate .joboptions  
file which matches your colour model (e.g., PDF/A-1b:2005 (CMYK)


Or switch to using pdflatex.

 latex-xft-fonts; the only thing is that apt-get install those files
 correctly.

The Debian lyx package does not ship the bakoma fonts. 

As there are more packages that need the latex math fonts as ttf, packing
them separately in Debian is fine.

However, as the fonts and LyX are found together ... in all but unusual
installations, the dependency should be changed to Recommends.

You're probably not using a natbib compatible .bst style file. You
should use something like plainnat, abbrvnat, or harvard.

LyX/Mac: Palatino Screen Font Missing

Have just upgraded my Mac and LyX (to 1.5.6). A hoard of fonts show up

my LyX produced pdf's are generated in Palatino. Any thoughts?

moderncv and bib as publications

[B. Bogart]

Hello all,

I've started converting my CV over to moderncv.

I see a few hacks on the wiki which I will play with, but I'm stuck on
using a bibtex database as a publications section.

I tried the using code from the moderncv example using ERT:

\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{publications}

This results in a References section header, but no content.

I managed to get output by including only \nocite{*} as ERT, and adding
the bib in the normal lyx way beneath.

Now this works, but does not appear to fit with the rest of the moderncv
text, the line wrap is much wider and the font looks too small (see
attached).

Also how can I change the name of the section to Publications rather
than References?

Thanks all,
B. Bogart

LyX 1.6rc2 crashes when navigating in the outline panel (MAC OS X)

Hi there,

I'd just like to report that LyX version 1.6rc2 repeatedly crashes when
trying to open child documents from a master document by clicking in
the toggle outline panel (see details from the Apple's crash reporter in
the attached file).

Besides this minor problem I am loving the features of this new version.
Congratulations for all of those involved.

Thanks a lot,

[Yago]

Hello to all.

I need to write a book class document (two sides) with a rarely 
chapters/section numbering.

The document have three Parts and Two Apendices. The first Part have Eight 
Chapters, the second Part have five Chapters and the Part three have also five 
Chapters. The numbering of the Parts is normally (Primera Parte, Segunda Parte, 
Tercera Parte, in spanish), but the numbering of the Chapters is continuos over 
the document. That is, the first Part have the Chapters I to VIII, the second 
Part have the Chapters IX to XIII, and the third Part have the Chapters XIV to 
XVIII. The numbering of the Sections is also a little strange because is 
continuos over the document like the Chapters, that is, the first Section label 
is 1 (not 1.1 but 1) in the First Part, Chapter I, and the last Section label 
is 123 (123, not 18.xx).

So, I need something like this:

PRIMERA PARTE%center in page
BLA, BLA, BLA%center in page

CAPÍTULO I  %center in page
BLA, BLA, BLA %center in page

SECTION 1. BLA, BLA, BLA%left aligned
text
SECTION 2. BLA, BLA, BLA %left aligned
text
.
.
.
SECTION (n). BLA, BLA, BLA%left aligned
text

CAPITULO II   %center in page
BLA, BLA, BLA   %center in page

SECTION (n+1). BLA, BLA, BLA%left aligned
text
.
.
.

SEGUNDA PARTE   %center in page
BLA, BLA, BLA%center in page

CAPITULO (last Chapter number in the first Part plus one)
BLA,BLA, BLA

SECTION (last Section number in the first Part plus one). BLA, BLA, BLA
text
.
.
.
and so on to finalize in the TERCERA PARTE, CAPÍTULO XVIII, SECCIÓN 123 (BLA, 
BLA, BLA)

The package titlesec is fantastic, but also very difficult for me and I will 
appreciate your help about this.

Thanks in advance.

 Metapost or something like that could be used?
  
 Would either tikz or xy-pic do what you have in mind?


 
 It is easy to embed a compiled image (PDF, JPG, PNG, EPS, ...) from a
 suitable drawing/graphing program.  I take it that's not what you want?
 

Thank you for your hints and examples, i will experiment with both programs,

 The PDF/A Wikipedia page makes it look pretty straightforward -- all fonts

Maybe it's a font issue (the validator not knowing the CM latex fonts)?

When I use my BibTeX file (created with Jabref) in LyX with the natbib

Nope. I used Ernesto's example file w/ pdflatex and it worked as I  
described.


The problem would seem to be w/ the .pdf generated by Ghostscript  
since he's using dvips.


So prefix it w/ the following step:

 - take the source .ps file from dvips and distill it in Adobe  
Acrobat Distiller (instead of Ghostscript --- there should be an  
option to save a copy of the .ps) using the appropriate .joboptions  
file which matches your colour model (e.g., PDF/A-1b:2005 (CMYK)


Or switch to using pdflatex.

The Debian lyx package does not ship the bakoma fonts. 

As there are more packages that need the latex math fonts as ttf, packing
them separately in Debian is fine.

However, as the fonts and LyX are found together ... in all but unusual
installations, the dependency should be changed to Recommends.

You're probably not using a natbib compatible .bst style file. You

LyX/Mac: Palatino Screen Font Missing

Have just upgraded my Mac and LyX (to 1.5.6). A hoard of fonts show up

Palatino. Palatino show up in the font lists for Word and Nisus, and  
my LyX produced pdf's are generated in Palatino. Any thoughts?

moderncv and bib as publications

[B. Bogart]

Hello all,

I've started converting my CV over to moderncv.

I see a few hacks on the wiki which I will play with, but I'm stuck on
using a bibtex database as a publications section.

I tried the using code from the moderncv example using ERT:

\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{publications}

This results in a References section header, but no content.

I managed to get output by including only \nocite{*} as ERT, and adding
the bib in the normal lyx way beneath.

Now this works, but does not appear to fit with the rest of the moderncv
text, the line wrap is much wider and the font looks too small (see
attached).

Also how can I change the name of the section to Publications rather
than References?

Thanks all,
B. Bogart

LyX 1.6rc2 crashes when navigating in the outline panel (MAC OS X)

Hi there,

I'd just like to report that LyX version 1.6rc2 repeatedly crashes when
trying to open child documents from a master document by clicking in
the toggle outline panel (see details from the Apple's crash reporter in
the attached file).

Besides this minor problem I am loving the features of this new version.
Congratulations for all of those involved.

Thanks a lot,

[Yago]

Hello to all.

I need to write a book class document (two sides) with a rarely 
chapters/section numbering.

The document have three Parts and Two Apendices. The first Part have Eight 
Chapters, the second Part have five Chapters and the Part three have also five 
Chapters. The numbering of the Parts is normally (Primera Parte, Segunda Parte, 
Tercera Parte, in spanish), but the numbering of the Chapters is continuos over 
the document. That is, the first Part have the Chapters I to VIII, the second 
Part have the Chapters IX to XIII, and the third Part have the Chapters XIV to 
XVIII. The numbering of the Sections is also a little strange because is 
continuos over the document like the Chapters, that is, the first Section label 
is 1 (not 1.1 but 1) in the First Part, Chapter I, and the last Section label 
is 123 (123, not 18.xx).

So, I need something like this:

PRIMERA PARTE%center in page
BLA, BLA, BLA%center in page

CAPÍTULO I  %center in page
BLA, BLA, BLA %center in page

SECTION 1. BLA, BLA, BLA%left aligned
text
SECTION 2. BLA, BLA, BLA %left aligned
text
.
.
.
SECTION (n). BLA, BLA, BLA%left aligned
text

CAPITULO II   %center in page
BLA, BLA, BLA   %center in page

SECTION (n+1). BLA, BLA, BLA%left aligned
text
.
.
.

SEGUNDA PARTE   %center in page
BLA, BLA, BLA%center in page

CAPITULO (last Chapter number in the first Part plus one)
BLA,BLA, BLA

SECTION (last Section number in the first Part plus one). BLA, BLA, BLA
text
.
.
.
and so on to finalize in the TERCERA PARTE, CAPÍTULO XVIII, SECCIÓN 123 (BLA, 
BLA, BLA)

The package titlesec is fantastic, but also very difficult for me and I will 
appreciate your help about this.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your hints and examples, i will experiment with both programs,
but i would prefer to work with a graphic interface. 
Also, it is a pity lyx is not able t render tikz  and  xy-pic  pictures.

Maybe it's a font issue (the validator not knowing the CM latex fonts)?

How about trying the standard PS fonts, like

=== file a.tex ===
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathptmx} % or \usepackage{mathpazo}
\begin{document}
Just this line...
\end{document}
=== end of file ===

Well, as expected it also happens in 1.6.0rc2, so here is the example file 
created in 1.6.0rc2.

get (author?) with natbib

[Robert Platt]

Hello,

When I use my BibTeX file (created with Jabref) in LyX with the natbib 
author-year style, I get something like this:


...some text here (author?) [1].

That's even if I view/update the output several times. Any ideas why 
this might be?

Nope. I used Ernesto's example file w/ pdflatex and it worked as I  
described.


The problem would seem to be w/ the .pdf generated by Ghostscript  
since he's using dvips.


So prefix it w/ the following step:

 - take the source .ps file from dvips and distill it in Adobe  
Acrobat Distiller (instead of Ghostscript --- there should be an  
option to save a copy of the .ps) using the appropriate .joboptions  
file which matches your colour model (e.g., PDF/A-1b:2005 (CMYK)


Or switch to using pdflatex.

The Debian lyx package does not ship the bakoma fonts. 

As there are more packages that need the latex math fonts as ttf, packing
them separately in Debian is fine.

However, as the fonts and LyX are "found together ... in all but unusual
installations", the dependency should be changed to "Recommends".

Re: unicode in math

[rgheck]

G. Milde wrote:

Dear LyX users,

  

This looks more like something for devel

rh


with LyX 1.6, using unicode characters other than the first block is
possible also in math mode.  The character in question is either replaced
by a math-equivalent (if defined in the "unicodesymbols" file) or by
"text in math" with the text-equivalent.

This is a vast improvement over the silent failure in LyX 1.5, my thanks
go out to the relevant developer(s)!

However, there remain some inconsistencies:

* while A is typeset italic, Ä (and other accented characters) are not.
* while l is typeset italic, λ (and other Greek characters) are not.

So, the question is:

* should Ä be replaced with \"A in math?
  
  More generally: should "latin-1 supplement" characters for which a math

  equivalent exists use this instead of a text-version?

* should λ be replaced with \lambda in math?

  More generally: 
  
  * should Greek characters from the "Greek and Coptic"

unicode block use the math-equivalent, or

  * should only Greek symbols (from Greek and Coptic" and/or from

"Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols") be converted to math symbols?

and could these also show as italic in the LyX GUI?

Attached is a patch for Greek in math.

You're probably not using a natbib compatible .bst style file. You
should use something like plainnat, abbrvnat, or harvard.

LyX/Mac: Palatino Screen Font Missing

[Bruce Pourciau]

Have just upgraded my Mac and LyX (to 1.5.6). A hoard of fonts show up  
in the list of available _screen_ fonts, but for some reason not  
Palatino. Palatino show up in the font lists for Word and Nisus, and  
my LyX produced pdf's are generated in Palatino. Any thoughts?

moderncv and bib as "publications"

[B. Bogart]

Hello all,

I've started converting my CV over to moderncv.

I see a few hacks on the wiki which I will play with, but I'm stuck on
using a bibtex database as a "publications" section.

I tried the using code from the moderncv example using ERT:

\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{publications}

This results in a "References" section header, but no content.

I managed to get output by including only \nocite{*} as ERT, and adding
the bib in the normal lyx way beneath.

Now this works, but does not appear to fit with the rest of the moderncv
text, the line wrap is much wider and the font looks too small (see
attached).

Also how can I change the name of the section to "Publications" rather
than "References"?

Thanks all,
B. Bogart

LyX 1.6rc2 crashes when navigating in the outline panel (MAC OS X)

Hi there,

I'd just like to report that LyX version 1.6rc2 repeatedly crashes when
trying to open child documents from a master document by clicking in
the toggle outline panel (see details from the Apple's crash reporter in
the attached file).

Besides this minor problem I am loving the features of this new version.
Congratulations for all of those involved.

Thanks a lot,

[Yago]

Hello to all.

I need to write a book class document (two sides) with a rarely 
chapters/section numbering.

The document have three Parts and Two Apendices. The first Part have Eight 
Chapters, the second Part have five Chapters and the Part three have also five 
Chapters. The numbering of the Parts is normally (Primera Parte, Segunda Parte, 
Tercera Parte, in spanish), but the numbering of the Chapters is continuos over 
the document. That is, the first Part have the Chapters I to VIII, the second 
Part have the Chapters IX to XIII, and the third Part have the Chapters XIV to 
XVIII. The numbering of the Sections is also a little strange because is 
continuos over the document like the Chapters, that is, the first Section label 
is 1 (not 1.1 but 1) in the First Part, Chapter I, and the last Section label 
is 123 (123, not 18.xx).

So, I need something like this:

PRIMERA PARTE%center in page
BLA, BLA, BLA%center in page

CAPÍTULO I  %center in page
BLA, BLA, BLA %center in page

SECTION 1. BLA, BLA, BLA%left aligned
text
SECTION 2. BLA, BLA, BLA %left aligned
text
.
.
.
SECTION (n). BLA, BLA, BLA%left aligned
text

CAPITULO II   %center in page
BLA, BLA, BLA   %center in page

SECTION (n+1). BLA, BLA, BLA%left aligned
text
.
.
.

SEGUNDA PARTE   %center in page
BLA, BLA, BLA%center in page

CAPITULO (last Chapter number in the first Part plus one)
BLA,BLA, BLA

SECTION (last Section number in the first Part plus one). BLA, BLA, BLA
text
.
.
.
and so on to finalize in the TERCERA PARTE, CAPÍTULO XVIII, SECCIÓN 123 (BLA, 
BLA, BLA)

The package titlesec is fantastic, but also very difficult for me and I will 
appreciate your help about this.

Thanks in advance.
