Looking for someone who can assist

[Michael L. Wilson]

Dear Lyx List,

At present I am looking for someone who can assist me with creating a Lyx 
letterhead based on a model that was created originally in LibreOffice. Any 
information or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Lyx 2.1beta2 does not find elyxer

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,

I have updated eLyXer on my laptop and it is on the path (and on
/usr/local/bin also) but when I do reconfigure, Lyx cannot find it and have
lost the converter Lyx->HTML, Lyx now uses another conversion path using
pdflatex and another converter.
Do you have any idea why LyX cannot see eLyXer?

Best regards,

Murat

Re: Problematic Version Control

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Thomas,
I have never used RCS so I do not know what Lyx uses for this on Mac. But I
read on the Wiki the following (http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/VersionControl) :
"LyX uses RCS  in order to
implement version control. By default RCS is not installed on OS X (10.5 at
least). It is however part of Xcode.
"

So, if you depend on the version installed by Xcode, and if Xcode 5 has
updated it to a new version, you could meet the same problems as the ones
met by the Coda people using SVN (the version 1.7 installed by Xcode is not
compatible with their repository created using an older version of SVN).
The version I have with Xcode 5.2 on my laptop is RCS version 5.7
You can check yours by executing rcs -V in Terminal.
I do not fully grok the messages in German, so I am just guessing here.
More people could maybe help you if you translate the messages to English,
I think.

Re: Problematic Version Control

[Thomas Wirtz]

Hi Murat,

Thank your for your advice and your link.
I can’t really say something about Xcode / Coda and if it affects the version 
control system of LyX. I don’t use Git / SVN with Lyx - just the regular VC: 
http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/VersionControl
So it’s RCS.

Fine to know, that LyX now supports Git / SVN. I will use that for future 
projects, but of course now I would be really happy to recover my current VC 
(RCS) .lyx,v file to have the full history back for use :)

For the list, I added the two error messages to this e-mail:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1625441/error1.jpg
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1625441/error2.jpg

First error occurs when I try to „commit", and the second one when I try to 
retrieve the history.


Cheers,
Thomas

Re: Problematic Version Control

Hi Thomas,

I am not sure that I understand everything :-)  I am not a big VC user
myself, I am trying to get disciplined enough to be able to use it, but no
avail. But, I am more or less following the evolution of the softs, and
rather tempted to adopt git, now that Lyx can use it.
Unfortunately, I cannot directly answer your questions. But I have found
the following post by the editors of Coda, maybe their tricks could help
you if you end up by using SVN with Lyx:

http://www.visuallizard.com/blog/2013/10/23/xcode-5-coda-2-and-svn

I also send my answer to the list, probably someone else, more competent
than me could help you using the information you give below, in your

Please keep us informed if you locate the source and the solution of your

issues installing 2.0.6 on Windows 7

[Liviu Andronic]

Dear all,
A friend of mine fails to install LyX 2.0.6 on Windows 7 using the
bundle installer. The installer complains about not being able to open
a given file (basic-miktex-2.9.4813.exe) with 'write' permissions.

Other than a hard-drive failure, I'm quite lost on what's going wrong.
Any ideas?

Regards,
Liviu

Re: Problematic Version Control

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi Thomas,
Were you using  the SVN version that comes with Xcode? If yes, have you
reinstalled the command line tools of Xcode? They are suppressed during the
installation of Mavericks if I remember well. Their reinstallation  is
necessary if you need that SVN, or have not installed another one. If you
rather use Git, you can also install it yourself. Mavericks update has
deleted many things in my case (including the Oracle Java, for example).

Problematic Version Control

[Thomas Wirtz]

Hi guys,

I’ve a huge problem with my version control in an existing file and noticed it 
now.
There may be a connection to the Mavericks update on OS X, but I’m not 100% 
sure.
I’ve posted some screenshots of my errors here: 
http://latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=24217&p=82332#p82332

I receive the error on both 2.0.6 and 2.1beta2. 

Can you tell me something about this error? How can I fix this?

All the best,
Thomas

Why not simply not declare it's a cover page, and let it have a header

I don't see what the effect of dpiHeight and dpiWidth is. I tried several 
different values and saw no change in the rendered graphic.

FWIW, this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_displays_by_pixel_density 
can help you to easily find the pixels per inch or centimeter of your display. 
My MacBook Pro is 110 dpi. Of course you could do Apple Menu -> About This Mac 
and do the math yourself.

Ah, yes that happens. Sometimes they get motivated by a user not
wanting to use Word, other times they complain. You could give an MWE
(post both the .lyx and .tex file there). Just try your best to make
it (e.g. using Insert > Graphics), even if it won't be close. This
will at least show what document class you're using and show that
you're willing to spend some time and effort to help yourself, it's
just (as you put in the comments) you don't have the LaTeX knowledge
yet.

Don't get too discouraged! You did just get a +1 by someone :)

+1 LaTeX is better and prettier for rendering than LyX.

More details would be useful. The only reason I can think of is that
you don't have LaTeX installed or you are getting LaTeX errors.

To answer your question though, I don't think this is possible other
than taking screen shots. I could be wrong though.

This should be doable in LaTeX. If you don't get more help here,
consider asking on tex.stackexchange.com (use the tag LyX and write
that you are using LyX in your question).

I guess I don't understand what you mean.  On the one hand, if you have

re-formatting the text to fit the page width, of course.  What else 
about the way it looks on the screen do you not get on the printout?


On the other hand, why would you want it to look more like the screen 
than the usual TeX output?  TeX adds in ligatures and other fancy font 
details, re-sets the page width and justification, and prints what you 
wrote.  Some fonts are different, but usually better than the on-screen 
appearance.  Why would you want it more like the screen?

You can also include a cover page using LyX alone: put the cursor at the top of 
your LyX text, and choose

Insert > File > External Material

In the "File" pane, select "PDFPages" from the popup menu, and browse to your 
PDF cover page. That is all, provided the format of the cover page is a single 
page and matches the page size of the document.

Ignacio,

  For something like this I would prepare it in LibreOffice Writer, export
it as a .pdf, and pre-pend it to the LyX created .pdf using pdftk. Takes
much less time.

Calligraphic font question

[M. Bumin Yenmez]

Hi,

I would like to change the calligraphic font (using \mathcal) to rsfs
fonts. I have read online that adding \usepackage{calrsfs} in the preamble
should allow me to use rsfs fonts with \mathcal. Even though in lyx the
font changes in the pdf output it is still the older calligraphic font. I
have lyx version 2.0.6 in windows 7. Please let me know how I can use rsfs
fonts.

Thank you for your help,

Re: fancy footer

[Ignacio Martinez]

I changed rbg to RGB and it works now. I still need one minor fix, the page
number should be in black.

\usepackage{lipsum}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\usepackage{xcolor}

\usepackage{etoolbox}

\pagestyle{fancy}

\makeatletter

\definecolor{curry}{RGB}{29,109,136}

\patchcmd{\@fancyfoot}{\rlap}{\color{curry}\rlap}{}{}

\makeatother

\fancyfoot[C]{CEPWC Working Paper Series No. 13 July 2013.\\

Available at http://curry.virginia.edu/research/centers/cepwc/publications
.\\

Curry School of Education | Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public
Policy | University of Virginia}

\fancyfoot[RO, LE] {\thepage}

\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.0pt}

\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.0pt}



Thanks a lot!

Re: fancy footer

[Ignacio Martinez]

Getting closer to what I need but not there yet. I need the color to be
right. This is what I have in my preamble

\usepackage{lipsum}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\usepackage{xcolor}

\usepackage{etoolbox}

\pagestyle{fancy}

\makeatletter

\definecolor{curry}{rgb}{29,109,136}

\patchcmd{\@fancyfoot}{\rlap}{\color{curry}\rlap}{}{}

\makeatother

\fancyfoot[C]{CEPWC Working Paper Series No. 13 July 2013.\\

Available at http://curry.virginia.edu/research/centers/cepwc/publications
.\\

Curry School of Education | Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public
Policy | University of Virginia}

\fancyfoot[RO, LE] {\thepage}

\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.0pt}

\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.0pt}


The problem is that when I use color "curry" it does not work. It does if I
use "orange" for example.


Thanks!

Something like this in your document preamble?

fancy footer

[Ignacio Martinez]

Hi everyone,

Can somebody help me write a fancy footer like the one in this paper
http://curry.virginia.edu/uploads/resourceLibrary/17_Castleman_All_or_Nothing.pdf
?

Thanks a lot,

Ignacio

PS: I'm reading

failing in generating what I need.

Re: Can't insert PDF image into LyX

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Thanks Jens and Jerry, I was not aware of this program (sips) and it
generates nice bitmaps indeed, and quite quickly in comparison with the
gs+convert solution that was rather slow on my macbook air.

The version I use is the following (adapted for the 128dpi display of my
MBA):

sips  -s dpiHeight 128.0 -s dpiWidth 128.0 --resampleWidth 600
--setProperty format png $$i --out $$o

Thanks for that tip, Jens. I really like the idea of using OS X's built-in 
image processing. However, this command scales the image by 200% so I added an 
option to scale to a width of 560 pixels which seems comfortable for me, and 
preserves the aspect ratio. (I know that I could use LyX to scale the on-screen 
size manually but this is laborious and makes the image ugly.)

In addition, there is a pink background behind the image which I don't like and 
which the GhostScript-and-convert command suggested earlier in the thread does 
not do. This is fixed by Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Colors -> graphics 
background to white, but that leaves the question of why the GhostSript 
approach did not result in a pink background--I'l bet it did not render the PDF 
with a solid background but left it transparent. This (putting a solid 
background) can be an issue which causes the image to appear bigger than it is 
and can cause centering problems in the output PDF, but I'll leave that to 
solve another day.

So for the record, the sips command I'm using is:

sips --resampleWidth 560 --setProperty format png $$i --out $$o

Again, thanks.

Jerry
