Not enough. You also need to reconfigure LyX if you install/remove
any other supported software. Such as image/spreadsheet converters that 
LyX can use - or new layouts. Of course, the layouts can probably be

detected by the timestamp on the .lyx/layouts directory...

Still, it would help for the case of LaTeX updates.

Re: Headline spacing irregular?

[Bianca Kranzusch]

I'm not sure where the onehalfspace-stuff comes from. I definitely did
not add it through ERT (at least not that I'm aware).
I _thought_ it came from using the package \setspace, but even if I
delete it from the latex header (or delete the whole latex header, for
that matter!) AND use the lyx settings to set spacing to 1.25, I
_still_ get the offensive onehalfspace-entries.

I don't know what else to try, can you perhaps suggest something?

XeTeX/LuaTeX no longer able to use system fonts

[stefano franchi]

Although this is not really a Lyx question, I have great faith in the
collective Latex wisdom of the list.

Problem:

LuaTeX or XeTeX are no longer able to find (some) system-installed fonts.
I haven't tried with all of them, for obvious reasons, but all the
fonts I normally use (esp Minion) are no longer found. The log says:

LaTeX Font Info:Try loading font information for T1+MinionPro(0) on input l
ine 93.
LaTeX Font Info:No file T1MinionPro(0).fd. on input line 93.

LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `T1/MinionPro(0)/m/n' undefined
(Font)  using `T1/cmr/m/n' instead on input line 93.

and Computer Roman is used, as specified. I confess I have no clue
about the T1MinionPro(0).fd. file that it is missing. The font is
there, in the sense that is available from other applications and it
even shows up within LyX in the drop down menu.
It looks like one of the font loading packages used by XeTeX/LuaTeX is
missing it. I tried erasing the cache that LuaTeX keeps in my home
directory, thus forcing luaotfload to rebuild it. Nothing changed.

Any idea?
I am on a Kubuntu Jaunty machine running Texlive 2011, fully updated, Lyx 2.0.1

Cheers,

Stefano

Re: XeTeX/LuaTeX no longer able to use system fonts

Oh well, forget it.
My (embarassing) mistake: I reused an old file as template and there
was a call to fontenc in the preamble. Taking it out solved the
problem.

Re: LyX 2.0.1 (OS X): file with relative path name not found

Yes, it seems that this a (wanted) Kpathsea feature(?):

If the filename being searched for is absolute or explicitly relative, i.e.,

it is not looked for along any paths.

instant preview \middle

[becko]

I understand that placing the command \middle behind a character such as |, 
prints that character of the same size as the surrounding brackets (this 
particularly useful for Dirac brakets, which is the application I have in 
mind). This works fine when I export to pdf in Lyx. However, what I would like 
is to see the correctly sized | in Lyx itself, as in instant preview. 
Instead, my Lyx document is filled with \middle commands that make many 
mathematical formulas unreadable in Lyx. Any ideas on how I can do this? Thanks.

Re: Problem Outputting Particular TIFF File

[Mark Livingstone]

If all TIFF files now being generated are playing up, I would suspect
whatever Lyx / Latex uses to convert TIFF files under Windows has maybe
become corrupt?

Do you have access to Lyx on another machine to see if it works / doesn't
work there with your source files?

Understanding your message is a bit tough for my rusty Spanish, but it
seems that you have issues compiling your LyX files. I have already
heard users having trouble to compile to DVI, but being able to
compile to PDF. Does View (pdflatex) work for you? Otherwise, you
could try fully uninstalling LyX and MiKTeX, and reinstalling using
the bundle installer from our Downloads page. Make sure that for
MiKTeX you've set 'yes' to 'install packages on the fly'.

Re: XeTeX/LuaTeX no longer able to use system fonts

My (embarassing) mistake: I reused an old file as template and there

instant preview \middle

[becko]

I understand that placing the command \middle behind a character such as |, 
prints that character of the same size as the surrounding brackets (this 
particularly useful for Dirac brakets, which is the application I have in 
mind). This works fine when I export to pdf in Lyx. However, what I would like 
is to see the correctly sized | in Lyx itself, as in instant preview. 
Instead, my Lyx document is filled with \middle commands that make many 
mathematical formulas unreadable in Lyx. Any ideas on how I can do this? Thanks.

Re: Problem Outputting Particular TIFF File

[Mark Livingstone]

If all TIFF files now being generated are playing up, I would suspect
whatever Lyx / Latex uses to convert TIFF files under Windows has maybe
become corrupt?

Do you have access to Lyx on another machine to see if it works / doesn't
work there with your source files?

Understanding your message is a bit tough for my rusty Spanish, but it
seems that you have issues compiling your LyX files. I have already
heard users having trouble to compile to DVI, but being able to
compile to PDF. Does View (pdflatex) work for you? Otherwise, you
could try fully uninstalling LyX and MiKTeX, and reinstalling using
the bundle installer from our Downloads page. Make sure that for
MiKTeX you've set 'yes' to 'install packages on the fly'.

There you can see that for most headlines (like 3.2.1.2 and 3.2.1.3) the
space /before/ the headline is bigger than the space /after/ the headline.
But for some headlines, like 3.1.2.4 in this case, the space /before/ the
headline is smaller!
The formatting I did on all the paragraphs and headlines is identical!

This is just one example, it happens multiple times within the document.
Does somebody have any advice what I can do about this? (I mostly want it to
be consistent, but would prefer the space before headings to be bigger than
the one after headings.)

All help is dearly appreciated!

Also, if it helps, here's the exportet latex code of the section in the
screenshot:


Yes, that helped.
Looking at the latex code, I see \begin{onehalfspace} and \end 
{onehalfspace} surrounding your headings. That mess with the spacing.

Removing those gives consistent spacing.

It seems to me that onehalfspace works inconsistently, because you have 
used it on every heading, but it only changes the spacing for "Fällung 
von DNA" Removing onehalfspace fixes that, and have no effect on the 
other headings. Or maybe onehalfspace is not compatible with headings.


I don't know what you have done in LyX to get the onehalfspace stuff,
because I don't have the LyX file. If it is added through tex boxes,
just remove it. If you have a custom character/paragraph style, fix it.
I tried setting the line spacing in document settings, it did not
have such effects on the latex code.

I hope this helps.

Just an idea: how about comparing the modification time of LyX's config file
and the ls-R files in the texmf trees (system, local, and user)?


Not enough. You also need to reconfigure LyX if you install/remove
any other supported software. Such as image/spreadsheet converters that 
LyX can use - or new layouts. Of course, the layouts can probably be

detected by the timestamp on the .lyx/layouts directory...

Still, it would help for the case of LaTeX updates.

Re: Headline spacing irregular?

[Bianca Kranzusch]

I'm not sure where the onehalfspace-stuff comes from. I definitely did
not add it through ERT (at least not that I'm aware).
I _thought_ it came from using the package \setspace, but even if I
delete it from the latex header (or delete the whole latex header, for
that matter!) AND use the lyx settings to set spacing to 1.25, I
_still_ get the offensive onehalfspace-entries.

I don't know what else to try, can you perhaps suggest something?
(As I'm not sure about appendixes on this list, I have uploaded a much
shortened version of the file that still exhibits the offensive
behaviour here:

XeTeX/LuaTeX no longer able to use system fonts

[stefano franchi]

Although this is not really a Lyx question, I have great faith in the
collective Latex wisdom of the list.

Problem:

LuaTeX or XeTeX are no longer able to find (some) system-installed fonts.
I haven't tried with all of them, for obvious reasons, but all the
fonts I normally use (esp Minion) are no longer found. The log says:

LaTeX Font Info:Try loading font information for T1+MinionPro(0) on input l

LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `T1/MinionPro(0)/m/n' undefined
(Font)  using `T1/cmr/m/n' instead on input line 93.

and Computer Roman is used, as specified. I confess I have no clue
about the T1MinionPro(0).fd. file that it is missing. The font is
there, in the sense that is available from other applications and it
even shows up within LyX in the drop down menu.
It looks like one of the font loading packages used by XeTeX/LuaTeX is
missing it. I tried erasing the cache that LuaTeX keeps in my home
directory, thus forcing luaotfload to rebuild it. Nothing changed.

Any idea?

 Hi Jane,

 It worked fine for me using Lyx 2.01 / Texlive 2011 under OS X, and also
 under Lyx 2.0.0-3 / Miktex / Windows 7 professional.

 Something else in your setup maybe?

 Cheers,

 MarkL

Re: Problem Outputting Particular TIFF File

[Mark Livingstone]

If all TIFF files now being generated are playing up, I would suspect
whatever Lyx / Latex uses to convert TIFF files under Windows has maybe
become corrupt?

Do you have access to Lyx on another machine to see if it works / doesn't
work there with your source files?

Cheers,

MarkL

Understanding your message is a bit tough for my rusty Spanish, but it
seems that you have issues compiling your LyX files. I have already
heard users having trouble to compile to DVI, but being able to
compile to PDF. Does View (pdflatex) work for you? Otherwise, you
could try fully uninstalling LyX and MiKTeX, and reinstalling using
the bundle installer from our Downloads page. Make sure that for
MiKTeX you've set 'yes' to 'install packages on the fly'.
