I *guess* that at least one of your fonts is missing a bold variant
and Times Bold is used as fallback.
  


Indeed!
  
Maybe defining a different fallback font could help (or eleminating

the bold text part or setting it in a font that has a bold variant or
...)
  
I would I define a different fall-back font? The Digohweli font does not 
have any variations to it. :(

I currently have the following in my header:


%\usepackage{musictex}


\usepackage{abc}


\usepackage{multicol}


\usepackage{fontspec}


\usepackage{xunicode}


\usepackage{xltxtra}


\usepackage{epigraph}


\setmainfont[BoldFont={Aboriginal Serif Bold},ItalicFont={Aboriginal

You have to tell it otherwise. Try EditText PropertiesCustomLanguage

and you know the lyx-internal name of it.)
  

LyX does not have Cherokee listed.
  

I it a combination of Cherokee and English. Is there a way to tell LyX=20
or XeTeX to change font used by another language?



Not out of the box. However, you can bind a key to a command-sequence
setting both, language and font.
  
So there is not unicode range reserved for another language is actually 
another language when seen?
  

How do I tell it the unicode range for Cherokee is another language?=20



This might become a feature in future, however it will not work for
languages sharing a common alphabet (German and Hungarian, say).

Started out with FreeBSD 3.X back in the late 90's myself.

Been using LyX off-on since then.

Re: Drag and Drop

Drag and drop text is one the most annoying things I have found with
word processors.
It is too easy to do it by accident, not notice, and output garbage for
people to read.

 Hi LyX developpers,
 I would like to strongly support Steve's point of view !

 Don't worry, as was explained many times to Steve, this point is well
 understood and this opinion is shared among the majority of
 developpers if not all of them. The switch to XML, if that ever
 happens, will *never* be at the  expense of readability. So there is
 actually no need to do any lobbying on that front :-)

 Abdel.

Good, now I can sleep better. Script creation of LyX documents from sql
database exports using PHP and Bash is very important to me. RAD for
computer generated documents is LyX.

Re: Typing some text in Lyx with capital letters

I concur, I usually end up turning OFF auto-correct.
If someone is looking for a feature like this, maybe have it along the
lines of the inline spell checker and have squiggles marking potentially
bad words.

 Do think about this. I have noticed the 'feature' in some

 noticed that those programs also want to be intelligent
 and, for example
 don't permit 'MHz' (they consider the only the first letter

 capitalized). Then, to solve this, they have an exception
 table where you
 can put those.

 I ended up losing more time administering the exceptions

 Hallo everybody, I'm writing this because I'd like to start a new adventure
 in lyx now that I know a lot about this tool, only fronted-side, not code or
 LaTex side, sorry. So, I'm writing a Role Playing game manual here in Italy
 and my idea is that of trying to write it with an opensource software. Now,
 of course I know that for typography the best tool is Scribus. BUT, I love
 Lyx and I managed to create a fantastic colorful thesis for my Architectural
 studies with it. It was a 2 columns document with notes, pictures, etc.
 An RPG manual is something way more elaborated. WAY MORE. Have a look at
 white wolf's manuals to understand the extent of the graphical effort I'm
 going to achieve. The problem is, many things cannot be done, from my point
 of view, in Lyx to achieve this result. And maybe this is simply not the
 tool intended for this kind of result. I need 2 columns pages (OK) with the
 possibility to use a picture as a frame for the entire page, or as a
 background if you prefer. This picture should be changeable from a section
 or from a chapter to another. Say, this chapter has a picture frame of one
 kind, then changng chapter I can change the background picture again, etc.
   
There is a package called 'wallpaper' that may do this very well with a
little bit of ERT.

 Not only that. I need to be able to put parts of a text, like a citation, a
 small emphasized part of the text, something to be outlined, into a fancy
 small picture used as a background for it. Fancy tables would be needed too,
 but this could even be used with a work-around: I create the tables in Gimp
 or something similar, save them as picture and import them into the Lyx
 document in a Floating Table frame (for table indexing later).

 Now, why I wanna do it in Lyx? Many reasons, the main reasons are:

 1) I love Lyx
 2) Lyx documents look incredible, very nice, very professional.
 Everything is automated and done for good, it is NOT a WYSIWYG and this is
 nice to keep focused on the contents.
 3) I'm an opensource fan and leader of a GNU / LInux distro (OPenGEU) and
 I'd like to show off to the world the powers of opensource software. Lyx is
 in my opinion the best thing around in opensource documents managing.
 4) Currently all of this is impossible to do in Lyx with normal tools and
 GUI commands. Probably the result is achievable with complex code to be
 inserted here and there. This is NOT the solution. People cannot use code,
 you can't ask people to. So, probably this effort will help Lyx become more
 powerful, many new small adjustements could be implemented with a work of
 this kind.

 Everybody, coders, users, everyone is invited in participating. I think this
 is a great occasion to have a powerfuller Lyx, able of achieving even more
 incredible results in many more fields of documents processing. Do you think
 this is achievable? Anyone wanna help? Remember I'm not trying to do this
 for my only personal achievement. It costs zero to me using Scribus instead
 and living Lyx alone. It's just that I think this can be a nice fight to try
 and win! :)

 The above works just fine with lyx for dvi and ps output.

 In order to directly generate pdfs I need to include in my preamble
 \usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}

 and convert to pdf using
 pdflatex --shell-escape file.tex

 However, lyx does not allow me to change or add options to the pdflatex

\begin{textblock*}{2.5in}[0,1](0pt,0pt)
   \usebox{\mysignature}
\end{textblock*}
 My Typed Name
 \end{minipage}

 The above works just fine with lyx for dvi and ps output.
 But I can't generate pdf.

 In order to directly generate pdfs I need to include in my preamble
 \usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}

 and convert to pdf using
 pdflatex --shell-escape file.tex

 However, lyx does not allow me to change or add options to the pdflatex 
 converter.

Add a new pdf converter, look in the wiki at the pdf (xetex) example.

After experimenting

If one installs the full MiKTeX, before installing the LyX full/alt
installer, the issue with the German hyphenations causing errors,
doesn't seem to occur. This implies that the bundled MiKTeX with the LyX
alt installer isn't installing correctly or is missing a needed package.

You probably need to add additional style sheets in the MikTex setup.

 Thanks for the tip, it is working properly now.
 However and for Windows Seven the MikTex\bin\...exe windows opened
 several times and LyX 1.6.3 has been launched several times before
 being stabilized which was not the case with The Windows XP Pro Side.
 Also, Document style sheets are more extended under the XP Pro side
 than the W7 one.

Go into MikTex Settings and uncheck all the German Hyphenations.

 Hi,

 I am testing Windows Seven RC - 64 bits. I just installed LyX-163-4-19
 AltInstaller Complete and the installation proceeded perfectly installing

 However, when starting LyX for the first time, The dos windows open for a
 very short time and LyX started nearly immediately without checking which
 class of documents were available.
 In fact none of them are available even if they are listed in document
 parameters.
 I launched reconfiguration in the tools but nothing happened.
 Oups ! I believe that the AltInstaller is not to be used for a first
 installation
 Shall I uninstall and reinstall with the common one or is there a
 possibility to adjust the think
 Any suggestion to go further,

 Nevertheless, I proceeded to the same installation on my 1.6.2 on
 Windows XP Pro SP3 which was installed with the AltInstaller and I
 have the same problem :
 No more class of documents available and the 1.6.2 which is still
 existing is also corrupted the same way

 How can I proceed to clean it. I am afraid because I have a lot of
 documents which cannot be exported to any type of pdf.
 When I open any document, LyX is telling that the corresponding class
 is not available. However when I click on the class button, the list
 of the style command inside the corresponding class are displayed 
 even the button is keeping  the standard display.
 Also when I click on one style i.e. theorem the fonction is selected . !!

 Thanks for your help
