Problem with Beamer

[Carlos Knauer]

\makebeamertitle

I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,

so I will ignore the font specification.

[Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.]

You might try inserting a different font spec;

e.g., type `I\font='.



TFM ? Font ? When do I found it ?

Setting LyX font size

[Rich Shepard]

  Using font manager I deleted a bunch of typefaces that I have never used
nor will use in the future. Many are look-alikes (to me, at least) of serif
and sanserig type faces. Now, the LyX frame and menu font size has shrunk.
The document display font remains the same, it's the application frame and
menus that have changed.

  Is there a place where I can change this? I don't find it on the Tools ->
Preferences -> Display menu.

TIA,

Rich

Backtick in LyX's "LyX-Code" mode

[Bruce Momjian]

I am using LyX 2.1.2 on Ubuntu 14.04.

If I enter this:

 ab'c de`f

in "Standard" mode I get PDF output with proper left/right single
quotes.  However, if I switch to LyX-Code mode for that text, I get as
PDF output:

ab'c de'f

This is a problem for text of shell scripts.  I the want backticks
because backtick means 'execute' in the shell.

What I have done instead to get literal backticks output is to use a
TeX Code URT (Ugly Red Text) block inside the "LyX-Code mode" block and
used \char18, which properly outputs the backtick.

Is this expected behavior?  Is that the recommended solution for this?

  The KOMA-script 2013 doc says this:

\usekomavar[command ]{name }
\usekomavar*[command ]{name }
In some cases it is necessary for the user to access the content or the
description of a variable and not to leave this only up to the class. This
is specially important when you have defined a variable which is not added
to the reference fields line. Using the command \usekomavar you have access
to the content of the variable name , whereas the starred version
\usekomavar* allows you to access the description or title. In section 21.2,
page 371 you may find mor information about defining variable on your own.

  But this gives me no idea what to change to make the logo fit the page.

Paul,

  I saw that LyX thinks the conversion is successful ... and the bounding
box is correct. Wonder why it's not displaying, then. I can run the image
through 'convert' and create an .eps file, but have not before had issues
inserting .pdf files.


Assuming you previewed the document in LyX, Document > LaTeX Log will open
the log in a viewing window for you. The actual log file lives in the
temporary buffer directory (/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.mmCXUkQ28141) in this case.


  Didn't see it there before, it's in ../lyx_tempbuf2. And the log file
tells me:

File: 0_home_rshepard_documents_templates_llc-letterhead.eps Graphic file (type

(scrlttr2)  You have to change `firstheadvpos'
(scrlttr2)  or you have to define a smaller
(scrlttr2)  head of first page using \setkomavar.
(scrlttr2)  Because of this too high head of first page
(scrlttr2)  you've got an overfull \vbox message on input line 68.

  So I need to play with the image size or positioning to get it to fit.

Thanks for the pointer,

Paul,

  File's attached. In emacs the first reference to the image is line 459.
There are no errors (or Errors) in the file.
Around line 459 is, I believe, where LyX is trying to convert the image

Well, there's your problem. No layout, no using the class with LyX. If 
you can find an osajnl.layout file somewhere online, deposit it in your 
local layouts folder, reconfigure and restart LyX, and you should be 
able to continue. If not, I suspect you will need to cobble one 
together. Typically, one starts with a layout file for a similar class 
and modifies it as needed to handle specific features of the new class.

Do you have a LyX layout file for the osajnl class? Without it, LyX does
