xeCJK not allowing to use other font with \fontspec{fontname}

[Clemente Beghi]

I am using Lyx with XeTex but somehow some fonts are not displayed
correctly. I am using mainly a mixture of Roman characters and East Asian
ideograms but what is not showing on the result pdf are some random Indic
characters.
I think I can refer the problem to the fact that I use the XeCJK package to
automatically distinguish between Roman and East Asian fonts and when it
finds some utf code referring to the Indic font it considers it as being
East Asian. Can I stop XeCJK (loaded in the preamble) only where the Indic
characters are present?
I attached in latex  community forum the examples with and without xeCJK: in
the first case I get the East Asian character but not the Indic ones, in the
second the opposite (.lyx are renamed to .tex to avoid the forum filters,
but they are actually almost identical)

No. Support for new symbols needs to be programmed directly in LyX, 
especially when the symbols require special LaTeX-packages as in your 
case. LyX needs to know how to display the symbol.

How many are left handed (was: How Many use linux)

[Andrew Sullivan]

You can see from the subject that there is an air of irrelevance about
this.

But it seems to me that knowing how many are left handed would,
naturally, lead to enhancements targetted at the left-hand community.

I answer that the customizability and portability of the LyX code base
is sufficient that a typing-able user on any modern desktop-target
platform is in a position to use LyX, and figuring out even rough
numbers for distribution on supported platforms is a distraction to
the LyX community.  This is true even if the user is left handed, or
non-Linux using, or whatever.

you should have the packages installed into MikTex (that is where all my

export problem on LyX for Windows

[Sivan Frenkel]

Hi, I'm a new LyX user (version 1.6.4 on Windows XP)

I cannot export or update a LyX  file to any format except text. I already 
found out this is due to the path of my file, and other paths are possible. I 
guess this is because my windows version is in Hebrew, and so are the names of 
some folders. 

My question: is there a way to change definitions so export will work even when 
the file's path contains hebrew (non-english) letters? if so, how? if no, could 
an older version of LyX support that?

thanks,
Sivan

Yes, LyX will not work on Windows when the path where it is installed contains accented or non-latin

Not that I know. I suggest to reinstall LyX in a path without Hewbrew characters. This must be

Seven percent. Documented at least as far back as the Christian bible.

A far more useful discussion would be how many are dyslexic (a lot,
especially if you count both major types), and if there are ways that
users of Lyx could make it easier for them.

Re: Lyx 1.6.4.1 and snown leopard

[Julio Rojas]

Up to this date there is no fix for the problem. The problem can be
reduced by turning off the autosaving feature. Also the problem is not
real, but perceived by the OS as such. You just have to click on
ignore and keep on working. We'll have to wait a little bit for a fix
as there are not many developers for OS X.

Uwe, in the page 2 you have on top an specific trigonometric example

As I stated in my last email this document is not correct because it violates the norm ISO 31

And more, when I say that the brackets are 
no necessary is because LaTeX add a little space between the function 
and his argument. So the reality is that LaTeX don't type,

cos2vt
but,
cos 2vt
with a little more space after "cos" and this is very comprehensive for 
everybody.


This is nevertheless against the possibility to omit the braces only for 1 or 2 characters in the 
argument as defined in the norm.

Don't you own a math or physics book or at least a school book? There you ca

Please don't mention me the Wikipedia because this resource isn't at all 
a "canon" for nothing.


The Wikipedia is the most impartial resource you can find. When you think there's something wrong 
you can correct it and cite other resources like books and norms. And furthermore, as everybody is 
writing it, mathematicians, as well as engineers, physicists, etc., the typesetting follows the 
common rules to avoid misunderstandings. (You are a military officer and know that most conflicts 
arise only out of misunderstandings.)

Re: How Many use linux

[Tommaso Cucinotta]

LyX on Ubuntu 9.04.
Using and proposing it everytime I can.
Unfortunately, I'm working with too many LaTeX-experts, in those cases, 
my part is usually written in LyX then exported automatically by some 
Makefile and scripting.
Recently, after a failing and frustrating attempt to write a joint paper 
using Word (continuous crashes while exchanging material between Linux 
and Mac and editing) as requested by collegues using Mac, I forced them 
to go for LyX and... no problems at all.

xeCJK not allowing to use other font with \fontspec{fontname}

[Clemente Beghi]

I am using Lyx with XeTex but somehow some fonts are not displayed
correctly. I am using mainly a mixture of Roman characters and East Asian
ideograms but what is not showing on the result pdf are some random Indic
characters.
I think I can refer the problem to the fact that I use the XeCJK package to
automatically distinguish between Roman and East Asian fonts and when it
finds some utf code referring to the Indic font it considers it as being
East Asian. Can I stop XeCJK (loaded in the preamble) only where the Indic
characters are present?
I attached in latex  community forum the examples with and without xeCJK: in
the first case I get the East Asian character but not the Indic ones, in the
second the opposite (.lyx are renamed to .tex to avoid the forum filters,
but they are actually almost identical)
Cheers

Ps. here is a link to my post on the latex community forum, with a link to

Dear Uwe,

thanks for your answer.

No. Support for new symbols needs to be programmed directly in LyX, 
especially when the symbols require special LaTeX-packages as in your 
case. LyX needs to know how to display the symbol.

p.s. (What you can do is to modify the file "symbols", but be patient!)

Re: Margin alignment in Lyx

[jezZiFeR]

It´s me again, to make clearer what I mean, maybe in english it is  
"optical margin alignment"? In german it is "optischer Randausgleich"  
and means, that on the edges of the margins there are optical  
corrections, so that e.g. hyphens stand out of the right edge. I hope,  
this makes clear what I mean. Is there a package to install? What do I  
have to enter in the preamble?


Thank you!

SV: Margin alignment in Lyx

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi,

http://blog.256bit.org/archives/47-Latex-optischer-Randausgleich.html
suggest to use the package pdfcprot and pdflatex.

Try adding \usepackage[activate]{pdfcprot} to the preamble.

Ingar

Re: SV: Margin alignment in Lyx

[jezZiFeR]

Hello Ingar,

thank you! This one does not work for me, maybe, because I use XeLatex  
("Das entsprechende Dokument kann dann aber nur mit pdf(la)tex

package for that? I thought that I achieved that a while ago, but I don

How many are left handed (was: How Many use linux)

[Andrew Sullivan]

You can see from the subject that there is an air of irrelevance about
this.

But it seems to me that knowing how many are left handed would,
naturally, lead to enhancements targetted at the left-hand community.

I answer that the customizability and portability of the LyX code base
is sufficient that a typing-able user on any modern desktop-target
platform is in a position to use LyX, and figuring out even rough
numbers for distribution on supported platforms is a distraction to
the LyX community.  This is true even if the user is left handed, or
non-Linux using, or whatever.

microtype is the main pacakge that provides this facility in LaTeX. 
Whether it works with xetex, etc, I do not know.

http://www.archivum.info/comp.text.tex/2008-07/00438/Re:_Character_protruding_with_xelatex
suggest that neither microtype or pdfcprot works for xetex. I guess you have to 
choose
either pdflatex or xelatex... for the time being.

you should have the packages installed into MikTex (that is where all my
packages are stored). In Lyx, go to Documents->Settings. In Settings, go to
the bottom of the list on the left side, "Latex Preamble." highlight that
and there should be a big blank box to the right instead of other options.
In this box you write,
\usepackage{packagename}
where packagename is the name of the package you downloaded from CTAN.

Hope this works.

export problem on LyX for Windows

[Sivan Frenkel]

Hi, I'm a new LyX user (version 1.6.4 on Windows XP)

I cannot export or update a LyX  file to any format except text. I already 
found out this is due to the path of my file, and other paths are possible. I 
guess this is because my windows version is in Hebrew, and so are the names of 
some folders. 

My question: is there a way to change definitions so export will work even when 
the file's path contains hebrew (non-english) letters? if so, how? if no, could 
an older version of LyX support that?

thanks,
Sivan

Yes, LyX will not work on Windows when the path where it is installed contains accented or non-latin 
characters.



My question: is there a way to change definitions so export will work even when 
the file's path contains hebrew (non-english) letters?


Not that I know. I suggest to reinstall LyX in a path without Hewbrew characters. This must be 
possible because we have Hebrew LyX on Windows.

Re: How many use Linux: was[LyX] explicit mail subject

It would be interesting for the Lyx website to collect this info.

I assume the posting contains a typo, and should read:
They can record OS statistics, **unless** they are hidden by the user.

(When top posting starts, let top posting continue (8-).

Seven percent. Documented at least as far back as the Christian bible.

A far more useful discussion would be how many are dyslexic (a lot,
especially if you count both major types), and if there are ways that
users of Lyx could make it easier for them.
