You have to first install cygwin from http://cygwin.com and then the 
cygwin
version of LyX 
(ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.3/lyx-1.6.3-cygwin.tar.gz).

After you download lyx-1.6.3-cygwin.tar.gz, you have to un-tar it by
typing tar -zxvf lyx-1.6.3-cygwin.tar.gz in cygwin terminal, and 
then

follow the instructions in the README.txt file.


However thanks!

Are you tested with different fonts that there are availables in
DocumentSettingFonts ?


No, I didn't think of that.


Often the Latin Modern Roman font is well recommended:
You can have a look at http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/PDF#toc5


Thanks, Latin Modern Roman helps me a lot. Now the font quality is as 
expected in every pdf viewer.


On XP, Latin Modern does not look very nice with Foxit reader. That's 
the problem Steve mentioned earlier: There's always one pdf reader that 
will not look 100% right. But in general, latin modern are really good 
fonts (work beautifully in Acrobat, Sumatra or gsview).

I am using Acrobat and PDF-XChange Viewer on my Vista machine. I 
should have restricted my comment above to these two viewers showing

multiple calls for the same package

[E. Kaplan]

When I export a Lyx file to plain latex, I often find several calls for 
the same package (Babel, for instance).

Why is that?  Is it OK to remove the multiple calls and leave only one?
Thanks

RE: Re: AW: Yap: Inverse dvi search

[Vincent van Ravesteijn - TNW]

Maybe other native means could be used, but I am a *nix fellow
and don't know Windows well enough to judge.

A very simple approach is to just use command-line parameters. If we can
manage to make LyX a single instance application (I mean that if you try
to start LyX when it's already running it will open the existance LyX
instance and open a possibly specified LyX file in the same instance),
then we can also just call LyX.exe %f -goto-row %l.

Would this be a possible solution ? At least it would be a pretty simple
solution.

I just checked that - with my really limited knowledge. But, folks, I do try.

- LyX.exe %f -goto-row %l: console windows popping up says that it does not
like it.

- LyX.exe %f %l: opens a new LyX window (which might be meant by a new
instance application) and asks for the tex-file associated to the lyx-file.

 Enrico,

LyX uses two mechanisms for IPC. One of them is a named pipe, and currently
the code for dealing with named pipes only takes into account the *nix
implementation (which is what cygwin uses). However, named pipes also
exist on Windows, but thy are implemented differently. I am not familiar
with the Windows way, but I think that the necessary info can be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365590(VS.85).aspx

The other mechanism is a unix domain socket, which has no equivalent on
Windows. However, given that cygwin can also emulate that, it should be
possible to use this kind of IPC, too. Cygwin is open source, so if one
is sufficiently motivated, he could look at those sources for borrowing
the necessary code.

Maybe other native means could be used, but I am a *nix fellow and don't
know Windows well enough to judge.

Well, if you are able to do that, you could use the same mechanism for
passing the needed info. I mean, when you launch LyX, you have to detect
that an instance is already running and then pass the parameters specified
on the command line to the running instance.
Isn't this the same problem that has to be solved?

Do you use export/import to LaTeX? This may be a cause for extra babel
uses. In any case, as Guenter wrote, you can remove them from Document

Most probably because you have one call in the custom preamble and LyX adds
one more.

 Is it OK to remove the multiple calls and leave only one?

Yes. But if you need the functionality of the package in ERT (raw LaTeX)
parts of your document, the save way would be to leave it -- just in case
there is no need for the package in the LyX-monitored parts and LyX will
no longer insert the \usepackage call.

Remember, that LaTeX will only load the package file once, so the only
problem might be an option clash.

Strange indentation after REFERENCES

[Ehud Kaplan]

I have a Lyx file that was exported to Latex, in order to include 
references (using the .bbl. file). 
With pdflatex it produces a perfect looking pdf file.
When that Latex file is re-imported into Lyx, it produces a pdf file 
that is correct in every way except one:
The entire bibliography (following  REFERENCES) is indented by approx. 
1/3 of a page width.


Any ideas?  I see nothing wrong in either the Latex or the Lyx files.

Thanks,
EK

LyX Crash

[Dave Jarvis]

I was highlighting (with the keyboard) some text (and deleting it) using a
letter (KOMA-Script v.2) class of document with LyX 1.6.2 on Linux (amd-64),
when I stumbled into a bug.

I only lost half a sentence. Great backup work, people! :-)

LyX Stopped Responding

[Dave Jarvis]

Here is what I did (with two separate instances of LyX running):

1. Opened a .lyx file (a KOMA letter).
2. Used the keyboard to jump to the end of the letter (note: the letter had
a forced next page).
3. Started to highlight text (using shift and the cursor keys).
4. Hit shift-home (or shift-control-page-up) to try and highlight text to
the top of the letter.

LyX stopped responding.

Layout problem ... text/footnotes overrunning page numbers

[Andrej]

Hi,

I'm no good at (La)TeX, so I'm not certain I'm even using the right terminology.

I created a little article (a paper for a Linux course I'm tutoring)
using LyX, and
over all the results are great. My only problem is that the text on
several pages
runs over the page number.  What do I need to change to stop this?

I've tried both article, article (KOMA script), book, letter (w/ and w/o koma),
always with similar results.



Cheers,
Andrej

Thanks, Latin Modern Roman helps me a lot. Now the font quality is as

On XP, Latin Modern does not look very nice with Foxit reader. That's 
the problem Steve mentioned earlier: There's always one pdf reader that 
will not look 100% right. But in general, latin modern are really good 
fonts (work beautifully in Acrobat, Sumatra or gsview).

multiple calls for the same package

When I export a Lyx file to plain latex, I often find several calls for 
the same package (Babel, for instance).

Why is that?  Is it OK to remove the multiple calls and leave only one?
Thanks

RE: Re: AW: Yap: Inverse dvi search

[Vincent van Ravesteijn - TNW]

Maybe other native means could be used, but I am a *nix fellow
and don't know Windows well enough to judge.

A very simple approach is to just use command-line parameters. If we can
manage to make LyX a single instance application (I mean that if you try
to start LyX when it's already running it will open the existance LyX
instance and open a possibly specified LyX file in the same instance),
then we can also just call LyX.exe %f -goto-row %l.

Would this be a possible solution ? At least it would be a pretty simple
solution.

I just checked that - with my really limited knowledge. But, folks, I do try.

- LyX.exe %f -goto-row %l: console windows popping up says that it does not

- LyX.exe %f %l: opens a new LyX window (which might be meant by a new

 Enrico,

LyX uses two mechanisms for IPC. One of them is a named pipe, and currently
the code for dealing with named pipes only takes into account the *nix
implementation (which is what cygwin uses). However, named pipes also
exist on Windows, but thy are implemented differently. I am not familiar
with the Windows way, but I think that the necessary info can be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365590(VS.85).aspx

The other mechanism is a unix domain socket, which has no equivalent on
Windows. However, given that cygwin can also emulate that, it should be
possible to use this kind of IPC, too. Cygwin is open source, so if one
is sufficiently motivated, he could look at those sources for borrowing
the necessary code.

Maybe other native means could be used, but I am a *nix fellow and don't
know Windows well enough to judge.

Well, if you are able to do that, you could use the same mechanism for
passing the needed info. I mean, when you launch LyX, you have to detect
that an instance is already running and then pass the parameters specified
on the command line to the running instance.
Isn't this the same problem that has to be solved?

Do you use export/import to LaTeX? This may be a cause for extra babel
uses. In any case, as Guenter wrote, you can remove them from Document

Most probably because you have one call in the custom preamble and LyX adds
one more.

 Is it OK to remove the multiple calls and leave only one?

Yes. But if you need the functionality of the package in ERT (raw LaTeX)
parts of your document, the save way would be to leave it -- just in case
there is no need for the package in the LyX-monitored parts and LyX will
no longer insert the \usepackage call.

Remember, that LaTeX will only load the package file once, so the only
problem might be an option clash.

Strange indentation after REFERENCES

[Ehud Kaplan]

I have a Lyx file that was exported to Latex, in order to include 
references (using the .bbl. file). 
With pdflatex it produces a perfect looking pdf file.
When that Latex file is re-imported into Lyx, it produces a pdf file 
that is correct in every way except one:
The entire bibliography (following  REFERENCES) is indented by approx. 
1/3 of a page width.


Any ideas?  I see nothing wrong in either the Latex or the Lyx files.

Thanks,

LyX Crash

I was highlighting (with the keyboard) some text (and deleting it) using a

I only lost half a sentence. Great backup work, people! :-)

LyX Stopped Responding

1. Opened a .lyx file (a KOMA letter).
2. Used the keyboard to jump to the end of the letter (note: the letter had
a forced next page).
3. Started to highlight text (using shift and the cursor keys).
4. Hit shift-home (or shift-control-page-up) to try and highlight text to
the top of the letter.

Layout problem ... text/footnotes overrunning page numbers

[Andrej]

Hi,

I'm no good at (La)TeX, so I'm not certain I'm even using the right terminology.

I created a little article (a paper for a Linux course I'm tutoring)
using LyX, and
over all the results are great. My only problem is that the text on
several pages
runs over the page number.  What do I need to change to stop this?

I've tried both article, article (KOMA script), book, letter (w/ and w/o koma),
always with similar results.



Cheers,

You have to first install cygwin from http://cygwin.com and then the

(ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.3/lyx-1.6.3-cygwin.tar.gz).

This is because the \documentclass statement is in an \input'ed file.

multiple calls for the same package

[E. Kaplan]

When I export a Lyx file to plain latex, I often find several calls for 
the same package (Babel, for instance).

Why is that?  Is it OK to remove the multiple calls and leave only one?
Thanks

Enrico, 

Do you have an idea how to do this ? I've some experience with DDE, but
I'm not sure whether that's what we want.

A very simple approach is to just use command-line parameters. If we can
manage to make LyX a single instance application (I mean that if you try
to start LyX when it's already running it will open the existance LyX
instance and open a possibly specified LyX file in the same instance),
then we can also just call "LyX.exe %f -goto-row %l".

Would this be a possible solution ? At least it would be a pretty simple
solution.

I just checked that - with my really limited knowledge. But, folks, I do try.

- "LyX.exe %f -goto-row %l": console windows popping up says that it does not
like it.

- "LyX.exe %f %l": opens a new LyX window (which might be meant by "a new
instance application") and asks for the tex-file associated to the lyx-file.

Sorry, I was just thinking aloud whether I could possibly implement it
like this... But I didn't yet ;-)

LyX uses two mechanisms for IPC. One of them is a named pipe, and currently
the code for dealing with named pipes only takes into account the *nix
implementation (which is what cygwin uses). However, named pipes also
exist on Windows, but thy are implemented differently. I am not familiar
with the Windows way, but I think that the necessary info can be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365590(VS.85).aspx

The other mechanism is a unix domain socket, which has no equivalent on
Windows. However, given that cygwin can also emulate that, it should be
possible to use this kind of IPC, too. Cygwin is open source, so if one
is sufficiently motivated, he could look at those sources for borrowing
the necessary code.

Maybe other native means could be used, but I am a *nix fellow and don't
know Windows well enough to judge.

Well, if you are able to do that, you could use the same mechanism for
passing the needed info. I mean, when you launch LyX, you have to detect
that an instance is already running and then pass the parameters specified
on the command line to the running instance.
Isn't this the same problem that has to be solved?

Yes, I thought so too.

I just wanted to be sure that I didn't oversee any problems with that
approach.

Solving this problem is fairly simple (I've done it in the past).

Hi, sorry if this is not the best place to post a doubt  but I can't solve my

How can I do that??

FWIW, here is repeat of a message I sent some months ago:

Here are two pieces of (l)gpl code to implement single instance

Do you use export/import to LaTeX? This may be a cause for extra babel
uses. In any case, as Guenter wrote, you can remove them from Document
Settings (preamble pane).

Most probably because you have one call in the custom preamble and LyX adds
one more.

> Is it OK to remove the multiple calls and leave only one?

Yes. But if you need the functionality of the package in ERT (raw LaTeX)
parts of your document, the save way would be to leave it -- just in case
there is no need for the package in the LyX-monitored parts and LyX will
no longer insert the \usepackage call.

Remember, that LaTeX will only load the package file once, so the only
problem might be an option clash.

Strange indentation after REFERENCES

[Ehud Kaplan]

I have a Lyx file that was exported to Latex, in order to include 
references (using the .bbl. file). 
With pdflatex it produces a perfect looking pdf file.
When that Latex file is re-imported into Lyx, it produces a pdf file 
that is correct in every way except one:
The entire bibliography (following  REFERENCES) is indented by approx. 
1/3 of a page width.


Any ideas?  I see nothing wrong in either the Latex or the Lyx files.

Thanks,
EK

LyX Crash

[Dave Jarvis]

I was highlighting (with the keyboard) some text (and deleting it) using a
letter (KOMA-Script v.2) class of document with LyX 1.6.2 on Linux (amd-64),
when I stumbled into a bug.

I only lost half a sentence. Great backup work, people! :-)

LyX Stopped Responding

[Dave Jarvis]

Here is what I did (with two separate instances of LyX running):

1. Opened a .lyx file (a KOMA letter).
2. Used the keyboard to jump to the end of the letter (note: the letter had
a forced next page).
3. Started to highlight text (using shift and the cursor keys).
4. Hit shift-home (or shift-control-page-up) to try and highlight text to
the top of the letter.

LyX stopped responding.

Layout problem ... text/footnotes overrunning page numbers

[Andrej]

Hi,

I'm no good at (La)TeX, so I'm not certain I'm even using the right terminology.

I created a little article (a paper for a Linux course I'm tutoring)
using LyX, and
over all the results are great. My only problem is that the text on
several pages
runs over the page number.  What do I need to change to stop this?

I've tried both article, article (KOMA script), book, letter (w/ and w/o koma),
always with similar results.



Cheers,
Andrej
