Sometimes that is not possible due to privacy reasons, in some cases you can send the file privately to one of us and that is enough to fix the bug.

If for some reason you specify other font like latin modern the output is OK.

Re: Script Conversion Failure
On Friday 09 November 2007 16:42:25 Paul A. Rubin wrote: The lyx2lyx script has an optional argument indicating the format to which to convert. (It also has an optional from argument, though I don't see in the code where that is used. But then I don't really speak Python.) LyX always calls lyx2lyx with the right argument, so in theory you should be able to plunge any more recent lyx2lyx into 1.4.x and have it working. It might be that if you acquire just the lyx2lyx directory from 1.5.x, and have a reasonably up-to-date version of Python installed, you could convert recent files backward to 1.4.x. python 2.3.4 It looks to me as though the script I have in 1.5.2 is designed for backward as well as forward conversions. But the script that shipped with 1.4.x would not be able to convert to/from 1.5.x formats. The latest version of 1.4.x (1.4.5.1) is able to read 1.5.x documents. That was the mainly purpose of its release. :-) /Paul -- José Abílio

Must I upgrade to 1.5? To read this file you need version 1.4.5.1. Or as you suggested version 1.5. I would recommend an upgrade, but then I am biased. :-) BTW for what is worth the new error messages in this case is more accurate saying that the file is from a different version.
