Try to select something like DejaVu or some other font that you know

I am able to see those languages correctly in LyX, firefox, text editor

Do I need to include any font anywhere in settings?

 I am writing a Family History with the koma-book style. I have a

 My problem is, that when I print the complete book, each chapter has
 its own 
 empty Contents page, and a concluding identifier page.  How can I
 suppress these, and not have them allowed for in the page numbering?

Doug,

This should not happen. I do the same thing you are doing all the time
with koma book and never have that problem. I can probably see what the
problem is if you post a sample chapter on the list (or send it to me
offline if you prefer). It's possible the problem is with the master
document, but most likely it is with each chapter document.

The chapter files should contain just the contents of the chapter. The
chapter headings should be in the master document.

Text in certain colours

Hi

I have line graphs generated in R, where each line is in a different colour 
(the colours are
generated in R by using rainbow(8)).

Due to space problems in the graph, I can not put the legend into the grapgh 
itself, but want to
put it into the caption. Therefore I would like to reproduce the colours in 
LaTeX. I know how to
set the text colour via LyX to one of the pre-defined colours, but hjow can I 
set them to these
specific colours?

In addition, I would like to have the colours as filled squares in the text - 
any suggestions?

Thanks,

Rainer

Implementing this is the current item on my ToDo list.



LyX will detect lilypond if you set the PATH in LyX and reconfigure,

Let us know which installer this is, and I'll give it a try.



Note also that the last time I tried to get LilyPond to work with LyX I

your problem is related. I'll try this as soon as I ind the time.

I think those bugs have been fixed. I have had good reports from windows

I finally got around the problem (did not solve it!) by assigning the

So I now have a functioning Lyx system on XP, although it functions

There was a bug in the installer that the LaTeX distribution was not

Can you please report back if the installer found the correct path to
TeXLive? if not, what version of TeXLive are you using? Note that the
installer can only support TeXLive 2012 and no older versions because
of technical limitations in the old versions.

 It's some sort of font issue. I replicated the problem with your

Mathpazo includes (part of) fixmath.sty by the same author. This means that
selecting a math alphabet affects both Greek and Latin letters.

In contrast, with CM or Latin Modern, the default LaTeX behaviour is kept:
Greek letters behave like non-letter symbols and do not change inside a
\math... alphabet:

In the following minimal example:

\documentclass{article}
% \usepackage{lmodern}
% \usepackage{mathpazo}

\usepackage[garamond]{mathdesign}
\usepackage{isomath}

\begin{document}

$VIC \Gamma vic \gamma \varepsilon$

$\mathrm{VIC \Gamma vic \gamma \varepsilon}$

$\mathbold{VIC \Gamma \varepsilon}$

\end{document}

the Greek letters inside \mathrm{...} are still italic with 
\usepackage{lmodern} and garbage characters with mathpazo.

The only package that supports upright Greek characters via
\mathrm{\alpha ... \Omega} is mathdesign in combination with isomath.
For details see the isomath documentation.

yes, that's your user directory. LyX is looking for dictionaries in:
1) preference specified directory

You don't have to set the DICTIONARY environment.
LyX tries to find the appropriate dictionary matching the language of the text

That's e.g. en_US if your document language is set to English(US) and/or you

Hi, Alex,

Thanks for the comments and for the great tool. It does what it claims to to, 
convert LyX to HTML, with lots of math options. The default conversion looks 
great in a browser.

I tried your --html suggestion and indeed Word opens it, and displays it much 
as a browser does. Unfortunately, the HTML limitations are apparent; this is 
probably as good as a HTML-only conversion can get.

In my slow-witted way, I'm starting to understand why Word will not open the 
various XML formats that I'm throwing at it. (I also played with TeXht today 
(and the Mac GUI over it, SimpleTeXht. This method also makes XML in some

this particular kind of XML. (I want to use the word schema but don't really 
know what I'm talking about.) So What is missing, as has been stated in

Hi Jerry,

 The output on my simple test case does look nice in a browser, but I get
 the same error opening with Word as I first described: The XML file bla

Word does not like XHTML very much; you need to export to HTML 4, using the
--html option.
  http://elyxer.nongnu.org/userguide.html#sub:HTML-Code
If you are doing the conversion inside LyX, instead of on the command line,
you have to add the --html in the conversion interface.


 I checked the HTML file that eLyXer made with the W3C page and got: The
 uploaded document - was successfully checked as XHTML 1.0 Transitional.


Yes, eLyXer outputs pure XHTML.


 Also--eLyXer does not appear to use MathML so I don't think there is any
 hope of getting editable math into Word using this method. (But I haven't
 read all of the eLyXer docs.)


eLyXer has several options for Math output:
  http://elyxer.nongnu.org/userguide.html#sub:Math
Sadly, none of them is MathML, since at the time eLyXer was conceived it
was not very widely supported, and I have not found the time to add it.

Hope this helps,

Doug,

This should not happen. I do the same thing you are doing all the time
with koma book and never have that problem. I can probably see what the
problem is if you post a sample chapter on the list (or send it to me
offline if you prefer). It's possible the problem is with the master

The chapter files should contain just the contents of the chapter. The

Text in certain colours

Hi

I have line graphs generated in R, where each line is in a different colour 
(the colours are
generated in R by using rainbow(8)).

Due to space problems in the graph, I can not put the legend into the grapgh 
itself, but want to
put it into the caption. Therefore I would like to reproduce the colours in 
LaTeX. I know how to
set the text colour via LyX to one of the pre-defined colours, but hjow can I 
set them to these
specific colours?

In addition, I would like to have the colours as filled squares in the text - 
any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mathpazo includes (part of) fixmath.sty by the same author. This means that
selecting a math alphabet affects both Greek and Latin letters.

In contrast, with CM or Latin Modern, the default LaTeX behaviour is kept:
Greek letters behave like non-letter symbols and do not change inside a
\math... alphabet:

In the following minimal example:

\documentclass{article}
% \usepackage{lmodern}

\usepackage[garamond]{mathdesign}
\usepackage{isomath}

\begin{document}

$VIC \Gamma vic \gamma \varepsilon$

$\mathrm{VIC \Gamma vic \gamma \varepsilon}$

$\mathbold{VIC \Gamma \varepsilon}$

\end{document}

the Greek letters inside \mathrm{...} are still italic with 
\usepackage{lmodern} and garbage characters with mathpazo.

The only package that supports upright Greek characters via
\mathrm{\alpha ... \Omega} is mathdesign in combination with isomath.
For details see the isomath documentation.

yes, that's your user directory. LyX is looking for dictionaries in:
1) preference specified directory

You don't have to set the DICTIONARY environment.
LyX tries to find the appropriate dictionary matching the language of the text

That's e.g. en_US if your document language is set to English(US) and/or you

Hi, Alex,

Thanks for the comments and for the great tool. It does what it claims to to, 
convert LyX to HTML, with lots of math options. The default conversion looks 
great in a browser.

I tried your --html suggestion and indeed Word opens it, and displays it much 
as a browser does. Unfortunately, the HTML limitations are apparent; this is

In my slow-witted way, I'm starting to understand why Word will not open the 
various XML formats that I'm throwing at it. (I also played with TeXht today 
(and the Mac GUI over it, SimpleTeXht. This method also makes XML in some

Word does not like XHTML very much; you need to export to HTML 4, using the
--html option.
  http://elyxer.nongnu.org/userguide.html#sub:HTML-Code
If you are doing the conversion inside LyX, instead of on the command line,
you have to add the --html in the conversion interface.

Yes, eLyXer outputs pure XHTML.

eLyXer has several options for Math output:
  http://elyxer.nongnu.org/userguide.html#sub:Math
Sadly, none of them is MathML, since at the time eLyXer was conceived it
was not very widely supported, and I have not found the time to add it.

Re: Hindi typing in ubuntu 12.10

Changing font worked and I am able to view proper font in generated pdf
when compiling with XeTeX.
There is small issue with display of font on LyX. In LyX font appears to be
broken. Is there any option to use same font to display in LyX window,
which I used to compile the file?

Thank you so much!

Doug,

This should not happen. I do the same thing you are doing all the time
with koma book and never have that problem. I can probably see what the
problem is if you post a sample chapter on the list (or send it to me
offline if you prefer). It's possible the problem is with the master
document, but most likely it is with each chapter document.

The chapter files should contain just the contents of the chapter. The
chapter headings should be in the master document.

Text in certain colours

Hi

I have line graphs generated in R, where each line is in a different colour 
(the colours are
generated in R by using rainbow(8)).

Due to space problems in the graph, I can not put the legend into the grapgh 
itself, but want to
put it into the caption. Therefore I would like to reproduce the colours in 
LaTeX. I know how to
set the text colour via LyX to one of the pre-defined colours, but hjow can I 
set them to these
specific colours?

In addition, I would like to have the colours as filled squares in the text - 
any suggestions?

Thanks,

Rainer

Perfect - thanks.

Now I just have to figure out how to translate the colour codes in R into LaTeX 
readable. The
eight colours in R are:

"#FFFF" "#FFBF00FF" "#80FF00FF" "#00FF40FF" "#00FF" "#0040"
"#8000" "#FF00BFFF"

One of the 2 current limitations of the LyX for Windows installer is the

Implementing this is the current item on my ToDo list.



LyX will detect lilypond if you set the PATH in LyX and reconfigure, 
although automatic detection at install time would of course be nice. 
Let us know which installer this is, and I'll give it a try.



Note also that the last time I tried to get LilyPond to work with LyX I

your problem is related. I'll try this as soon as I ind the time.

I think those bugs have been fixed. I have had good reports from windows

Mathpazo includes (part of) fixmath.sty by the same author. This means that
selecting a math alphabet affects both Greek and Latin letters.

In contrast, with CM or Latin Modern, the default LaTeX behaviour is kept:
Greek letters behave like non-letter symbols and do not change inside a
\math... alphabet:

In the following minimal example:

\documentclass{article}
% \usepackage{lmodern}
% \usepackage{mathpazo}

\usepackage[garamond]{mathdesign}
\usepackage{isomath}

\begin{document}

$VIC \Gamma vic \gamma \varepsilon$

$\mathrm{VIC \Gamma vic \gamma \varepsilon}$

$\mathbold{VIC \Gamma \varepsilon}$

\end{document}

the Greek letters inside \mathrm{...} are still italic with 
\usepackage{lmodern} and garbage characters with mathpazo.

The only package that supports upright Greek characters via
\mathrm{\alpha ... \Omega} is mathdesign in combination with isomath.
For details see the isomath documentation.

LyX does not find the dictionaries in your home directory. 
You have to point it there in LyX path's preferences.
Try to enter /home/jczhang/usr/share/dict and see if it helps.

Hi Junchao,

yes, that's your user directory. LyX is looking for dictionaries in:
1) preference specified directory
2) user directory + dicts
3) lyx binary directory + dicts
4) /usr/share/myspell/dicts

You don't have to set the DICTIONARY environment.
LyX tries to find the appropriate dictionary matching the language of the text 
inside your document.
That's e.g. en_US if your document language is set to English(US) and/or you 
have the language of some text set to it.

Hi, Alex,

Thanks for the comments and for the great tool. It does what it claims to to, 
convert LyX to HTML, with lots of math options. The default conversion looks 
great in a browser.

I tried your --html suggestion and indeed Word opens it, and displays it much 
as a browser does. Unfortunately, the HTML limitations are apparent; this is 
probably as good as a HTML-only conversion can get.

In my slow-witted way, I'm starting to understand why Word will not open the 
various XML formats that I'm throwing at it. (I also played with TeXht today 
(and the Mac GUI over it, SimpleTeXht. This method also makes XML in some 
variations, and .odt.) So Word isn't broken—it's just not made to recognize 
this particular kind of XML. (I want to use the word "schema" but don't really 
know what I'm talking about.) So What is missing, as has been stated in 
previous threads, is a converter from the XML that we're seeing to .docx, it 
seems.
