Re: Problem with pdf-view in Lyx 1.6.0

Hello,
I installed Lyx 1.6.0 now and - congratulations: it is really good.
But I have some problems with pdf-view, that I had not with Lyx 1.5.6.
I'm shure, someone can help me and tell me, what to do:
The view of the help-files intro.lyx and tutorial.lyx is ok.
Problem with help-file userguide.lyx:
on the first latex-running appears the latex-mistake-window:
LaTeX Error: File `wasysym.sty' not found.
Under Mandriva, wasysym.sty is in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/wasysm
Perhaps you also need to clickon the Use AMS maths... package under
Lyx documents settings menu option.
Hopefully you can avoid have to download wasysym.sty from CPAN.
I hope this helps.

I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.

You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `I\fontsame font id=substitute font name'.
2. LaTeX Error: File `caption.sty' not found.
..., tableposition=top]{caption}[2004/07/16]

I don't know, whether there are other problems with other lyx-files.
Might be an incomplete lyx-installation the reason for this? Or what
could it be?
Yes it could be since 1.6.0 has just been released. If you are new to
Lyx I'd wait and see if anyone else has the same problem.
I'm using an earlier version of Lyx.

Thanks, Jürgen.
I was intrigued by this inquiry. Out of interest I read the replies to
you question and I tried an experiment. It gave the expected result.
In the main text of my small document I did the following:
1. Added a TeX box i.e. ERT from the Lyx menu.
2. Inserted into the ERT box
\fontfamily{pzc}\Large{ }
Added some lines in Lyx verse
3. Added a TeX box i.e. ERT from the Lyx menu
4. Inserted into the ERT box
\fontfamily{concrete}\normalize{ }
As I said earlier it gave the desired result.
I also notice that my Mandrake Linux OS appears to contain a
calligraphic font under:
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/urw/zapfchan
A somewhat long and torturous example is given by the following URL:
