AFAIK, it doesn't matter what the setting is in the Win version,
aspell is always used.

You installed aspell and the dictionary in C:\Aspell, as per the

just followed the directions in the INSTALL file:

No need for that, LyX is in Fedora Extras, just get it through yum

wasysym and LyX 1.3.6 for Windows

I've upgraded my trusty 1.3.5 on Win2k, and my thesis 
no longer compiles. I noticed there were already some
reports on the wiki about the problems with wasy symbols 
eairler, as there is a claim these are resolved:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lyx-develm=11182490653

but this is certainly not the case where I'm sitting:

Font U/wasy/m/n/10=wasy10 at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found

I understand this might be also a MikTeX bug since it
works ok on a Linux box, and .tfm files really are
missing in MikTeX, but it still beats me why the wasysym
package should be loaded after amsmath to redefine 
\int  co., shouldn't it be the other way around? My
thesis compilation worked ok without the wasysym
package, why is it forced upon us...

Re: Elsart users

[Milos Komarcevic]

Geoff,

 I cant actually get elsart to work here as it tells me i am missing the 
 .cls file required.

You have to install the elsart class manually, it doesn't usually come 
with a LaTeX distribution. You can get it from CTAN or the Elsevier 
author gateway. Bibtex style files are distributed separately for some 
reason, don't forget those.

A for Rob's question

 Anyway have you tried just pressing enter and then adding another author 
 on the next line.  In many classes this produces a comma seperated output 
 with the last author added as 'and'
 
 eg lyx input
 
 Author1
 Author2
 Author3
 
 output
 
 Author1, Author2 and Author3

with elsart this will give you authors on separate lines with address for 
each individual, which is senseless if they are from the same institution. 
So yeah, ERT seems to be the only way to get the other output style with 
a shared address. That's at least how I had to do it recently, but maybe 
someone else knows of a better way.

I guess you could use the prettyref package and define the eq: label

The downside is that, although likely, you can never know for ceratin

Inserting the brackets manually around the cross-ref is a safer bet in

The downside is that, although likely, you can never know for ceratin

Inserting the brackets manually around the cross-ref is a safer bet in

Geoff,

You have to install the elsart class manually, it doesn't usually come 
with a LaTeX distribution. You can get it from CTAN or the Elsevier 
author gateway. Bibtex style files are distributed separately for some 
reason, don't forget those.

A for Rob's question

with elsart this will give you authors on separate lines with address for 
each individual, which is senseless if they are from the same institution. 
So yeah, ERT seems to be the only way to get the other output style with 
a shared address. That's at least how I had to do it recently, but maybe 
someone else knows of a better way.

I guess you could use the prettyref package and define the eq: label 
cross-reference style to your needs (see the prettyref documentation), 
and then choose "Formatted reference" from the drop down menu in the 
cross-ref window.

Re: howt include a bitmap in eps

 Hi,
 I would like to know how I can include a arbitrary bitmap in an eps
 vector image without converting the entire image to a bitmap.
 The reason is that I would like to include an microscopy image in an

 Does anybody have an ide?

I've done something like that with xfig: 

import your eps first (graph, coordinates, text, whatever), then import the
bitmap over it, and finally export the whole thing as eps again.

I'm still confused with the dpi values, it seems xfig defaults to different ones
when importing eps and bitmaps (72 vs 80 vs 96, don't remember exactly which is
which), so you might have to scale accordingly.

There are probably other/better ways, but this worked for me so far.

Word import via wvWare in Windows

[Milos Komarcevic]

I've noticed that the GnuWin32 project ported wvWare for converting Word 
documents, and LyX supports it, so I thought I'd give it a try. Here are 
the results.

As expected, doesn't work out of the box because wvCleanLatex that LyX 
calls is a shell script (a bit useless since GnuWin32 doesn't provide a 
shell???). Tried invoking it with MSYS sh.exe that comes with Ruurd's port 
of LyX, but no dice, that sh.exe doesn't understand commands like 
'basename' etc. So I did my own Win .bat file (very primitive, equivalent 
to only the last line of the original script, i.e. doesn't do any input 
checks, please feel welcome to extend it).

Here goes:
- create GnuWin32\bin\wvCleanLatex.bat with the following line
 @ wvWare -x %~dp0..\share\wv\wvCleanLatex.xml -d %~dp2 -b %~n2 %1  %2
- make sure GnuWin32\bin is in your path
- reconfigure LyX, restart and you're ready to go (there still the isuue of 
a .relyx1 file not being cleaned up)

If you found this useful, could someone please add it to the Wiki.

reLyX on Windows

[Milos Komarcevic]

Found yet another quirk while importing LaTeX:
in \lyx\bin\reLyX.bat you really need to change all ~p0 to ~dp0 again, 
like in the old 1.3.3 configure.bat; it might not be absolutely 
necessary, but it's better to be safe if you're running across different 
partitions?

With the addition of \lyx\share\lyx\lyx2lyx\lyx2lyx.cmd as per the Wiki,

Re: LyX 1.3.5 for Win32 released

[Milos Komarcevic]

Ruurd, thanks a lot for the updated version!
I do have some problems with it though, maybe someone on the
list could confirm them and provide some help.
Your mention of the inclusion of a newer version of Sed.exe has also
addressed another of my questions.
 FYI, I did include the new sed.exe and fixed the path thing in 
 configure.bat.
- I couldn't see this new sed version in lyx-1.3.5-win32-nc.exe
It seems to be the old one, identical to the one packaged with
1.3.3, so my LaTeX configuration file is still 0 bytes. Is there

- The convertDefault.sh script doesn't work again, it always fails
when testing for converted file existance. I had to comment those
lines out in order to get the figures to display in LyX
- The display of fonts in math mode with Qt 3.2.1 non-commerical

this. I hope it can be fixed somehow because it's very annoying.

I have uploaded a fixed package to sourceforge. There might still be
issues, but the new one definately looks better.
thank you for the fast update, this package is MUCH better! Even the
icon is back :)
Although there are still some minor issues with the math mode (offset of
subscripts, accents etc. is to large and brackets are too tall), it is
at least now rendered correctly and quite useable, so I'm able to switch
over to 1.3.5 for real.
(I should mention that sed.exe is still old in this fixed package, I
wasn't sure if you were indenting to upgrade it or not this time around)
Thanks again,

Ruurd, thanks a lot for the updated version!
I do have some problems with it though, maybe someone on the

Your mention of the inclusion of a newer version of Sed.exe has also
addressed another of my questions.
 FYI, I did include the new sed.exe and fixed the path thing in 
 configure.bat.
- I couldn't see this new sed version in lyx-1.3.5-win32-nc.exe
It seems to be the old one, identical to the one packaged with
1.3.3, so my LaTeX configuration file is still 0 bytes. Is there
a newer package? Can someone confirm this?

EPS figures created by xfig seem to convert fine, but the ones

Re: imagemagick version suitable for lyx win32 xp

I don't know if it is worth putting on the lyx wiki (I would put it but the
page is protected)I have found that with the latest version of
imagemagick it seems to stall while converting image previews from eps. Some
eps images are converted but with others it stalls showing GS within the
lyx terminal. It only seems to happen with eps images.
Same problem with 6.0.8 here on Win2k.

Dotless j and mathpazo

[Milos Komarcevic]

How can one get the dotless j with mathpazo (or any PSNFSS) fonts in 
math mode?

$\textrm{\j}$ gives me a black square (but ok with CM fonts?)
$\jmath$ doesn't cut it because I need an upright bold version
The character is there, as seen in pazotest.pdf that comes with mathpazo 
documentation. The only way I managed to get it is defining my own 
command (modelled according to \ppleuro in mathpazo.sty):

\newcommand{\dotlessj}{{\fontencoding{U}\fontfamily{fplm}\selectfont 
\char226}}

Isn't there an easier way? Any reason why \j or \dotlessj aren't defined 
in mathpazo.sty already?

4. Install Acrobat Reader on root path (may have to ignore install
warnings if you already have it installed in program files â leave that
copy there though!) Change folder path to remove any spaces. (My
second copy is installed as C:\Adobe\Reader)
Don't do this! It doesn't matter in which path/folder it is installed. Two 
installations are one too much and could cause troubles.
I agree with this one. If you already have Acrobat Reader installed in
C:\Program Files you could use something like the attached acroread.bat
batch file to launch it. Just put it in a regularly name directory
without spaces (like C:\Adobe or even where your LyxWin32 lives)
and use it as the pdf viewer in LyX preferences.
Avoid to edit the configure.bat manually!!!
Actually I did have to edit the configure the configure.bat manually.
The problem is when LyX and user's %HOME%/.lyx do not live on the
same drive - Edit-Reconfigure fails from within LyX then.
A minor change from %~p0 to %~dp0 everywhere in the batch file fixes that.
I already posted this some time and was hoping Ruurd will consider this
for future versions.
So the only remaining mystery for me is the usage errors from updated sed 4.0.9

From within lyx 1.3.3 - reconfigure (1.3.2 you will need to open a cmd
window and cd to c/??/lyx/share/lyx and run configure.bat)
Check the resulting log in the shell window
If it has gone through without an error and also you can now read the
latex configuration file (from lyx help menu) then all is ok.
However, if it after running reconfigure the resulting listing shows
towards the end unknown option to s or something along those lines
then it is still using the older (supplied by Ruurd) version of sed.
installing sed with the GnuWin32 setup package and putting it in the

I don't know how this is different to just replacing sed.exe and associated
dll's manually in the lyx/bin directory as that one is added to the path
by Ruurd's configure script anyway, and that results in sed usage errors
as someone already reported on the list.

I don't know how this is different to just replacing sed.exe and associated
dll's manually in the lyx/bin directory as that one is added to the path
by Ruurd's configure script anyway, and that results in sed usage errors
as someone already reported on the list.
Thanks for the tip,

Re: Lyx 1.3.3 for Windows startup error

[Milos Komarcevic]

Paul,

1.  Open a DOS prompt in the LyX bin directory and type sed --version.  If
it reports version 3.something, go to
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617package_id=http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617package_id=
16429, download sed 4.0.9 (or the latest 4.x release), and install that
version of sed.exe over the one in the bin directory.  Then try running
configure again.
I never got this to work; I replaced sed.exe with newer 4.0.9 and
also added the required libiconv2.dll and libintl3.dll in the lyx bin
directory, but configure fails with usage errors from sed.
Does sed replacement actually work for you (i.e. you're sure cygwin's
sed is not used instead)? Maybe I'm missing something somewhere...

Windows Lyx - Creating PDF files

[Milos Komarcevic]

 I've recently installed Lyx on Windows. I can view DVI files but not PDF files.
 The lyxrc file is set up correctly (meaning that all of the paths to Acrobat
 have been correclty specified), but when I try  ViewPDF(pdflatex), Acrobat says
 'There was an error opening this document. The file does not exist'. Checking
 out the tmp directory shows that something is happening - some proto-pdf files
 have been created, but not a finalised one.
 
 Any ideas?

In Ruurd's Win32 version it is important that Acrobat Reader 
(and LyX, LaTeX, Ghostscript etc) is installed in a directory 
without any spaces, I remember having a similar problem when 
that was the case.
