Ouch! Do you use a 32bit version of Win 8.1 or a 64bit version? Does it
help to reinstall LyX 2.2.1 using this new installer?:

Hi,

FYI, I just had today the same startup error message when trying to run 
LyX 2.2.1 on Windows 7 Professional. LyX 2.1.x versions were running fine.

I installed 2.2.1 with "LyX-221-Installer-2.exe".

Following the discussion in this bug report_
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/10206
I went to:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=48145
downloaded and installed "vc_redist.x86.exe" and now LyX runs fine.

Best regards,

Olivier.

I guess it's probably more related to an update of a MikTex package.


It's a bug in the current KOMA-Script release:

a feature request to add options to packages already loaded by LyX.

For listings, you can access the individual inset settings by right 
clicking on it, the selecting Settings
Then, you can type settings not in the GUI in the Advanced tab. Type 
your options in the More Parameters text box.


If you want to apply the settings to all listings in the document, which 
is the case here (this option is global), then type the text directly in 
Documents-Settings-Listings


However, that option is true by default (according to listings 
documentation and to my tests), so you should not need to do anything.


If you want to switch the option off, then type
numberbychapter=false
in the above mentioned place. Note that LyX may prevent you to apply the 
change, in such case you can check the Bypass validation option (I 
needed to do that for that specific option).


Tested in LyX 2.0.6 on Windows with MikTeX.

Hi,

Assuming your are using Windows, there was a related message from Uwe 
Stöhr on the list ~1 week ago. Here is a copy, with hopefully 
instructions that apply to you:


-
Dear users of LyX on Windows,

you might have noticed that updating the view for a PDF from within LyX 
fails with Adobe Reader XI. The reason is that Adobe Reader always opens 
PDFs with write access so that other programs cannot modify the PDFs. 
LyX therefore comes with a helper program that closes the PDF to allow 
its revision and then reopens the modified PDF. Unfortunately this 
helper program fails with Adobe Reader XI.


I released therefore a new LyX for Windows installer that comes with a 
new solution that additionally fixes

- the long standing bug that updating a PDF view failed for larger
  LyX documents if Adobe Reader or Acrobat was used as PDF viewer
- a bug that viewing PDF files could fail if Acrobat or Adobe Reader was
  not the default PDF viewer of the system while LyX was installed, but
  became later the default PDF viewer

So in case you are affected by the problem with Adobe Reader XI, you 
need to reinstall LyX 2.0.5 using the latest installer you find on 
http://www.lyx.org or on 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lyxwininstaller/ to fix it.


If you are not affected by this issue, there is no reason to reinstall LyX!

fails with Adobe Reader XI. The reason is that Adobe Reader always opens 
PDFs with write access so that other programs cannot modify the PDFs. 
LyX therefore comes with a helper program that closes the PDF to allow 
its revision and then reopens the modified PDF. Unfortunately this 
helper program fails with Adobe Reader XI.


I released therefore a new LyX for Windows installer that comes with a 
new solution that additionally fixes

- the long standing bug that updating a PDF view failed for larger
  LyX documents if Adobe Reader or Acrobat was used as PDF viewer
- a bug that viewing PDF files could fail if Acrobat or Adobe Reader was
  not the default PDF viewer of the system while LyX was installed, but
  became later the default PDF viewer

So in case you are affected by the problem with Adobe Reader XI, you 
need to reinstall LyX 2.0.5 using the latest installer you find on 
http://www.lyx.org or on 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lyxwininstaller/ to fix it.


If you are not affected by this issue, there is no reason to reinstall LyX!

Hi,

Assuming your are using Windows, there was a related message from Uwe 
Stöhr on the list ~1 week ago. Here is a copy, with hopefully 
instructions that apply to you:

Re: Double quotes in LyX-Code

[Olivier Ripoll]

On 14.01.2013 09:35, Andrew Parsloe wrote:

I notice when I press the double-quote key in a LyX-Code environment
that LyX displays *slanted* double quotes, nor does there seem to be any
shortcut specified to produce straight double quotes. I can understand
this for the usual text environments (Standard, Quote etc.) but for
LyX-Code this seems wrong. LyX-Code is used for things like program
listings, where double quotes are usually understood to be ASCII 34s.
Copying and pasting code fragments containing slanted double quotes from
a LyX-Code environment into a program will generally produce errors
because of this.

I've tripped on this before and have now assigned the shortcut

command-sequence self-insert "

to Ctrl+Shift+' to produce ASCII 34. (On my keyboard Shift+' is the
straight double quote symbol which LyX converts into slanted quotes.) I
think a key combination to produce ASCII 34 should be part of "standard
LyX", specifically for the LyX-Code environment.


One workaround could be to use "listing" instead of LyXCode (Insert -> 
Program Listing), with the option:

upquote=true
(to be typed in the Listing "Settings" window, "Advanced" tab)

regularly though. I am not sure what problem you are having (i am

reconfigure (in LyX's Tools menu) later.

Why is aspell better than hunspell?


At least I can answer from my point of view. It just boils down to 1 
difference: aspell had no issue for me. hunspell does not allow me to 
use English and allow coumpound words as aspell did(*). When I opened my 
documents, I had to either add plenty of words to the dictionary or 
change them to 2 words. That was a lot of work.


But I can understand that some people have seen improvements with

Hi,

I think I should refine my previous statement. I mean that we are

When I drag the scrollbar down on the introduction manual
- 2.0.1 is full scrooling smoothly (*), both in the text scrolling and 
the toolbar scrolling.
- 2.0.2 pristine jumps in 2 to 3 steps (text and scrollbar): top of 
the document, sometimes an intermediate step, and bottom of the document.

* Adding \use_pixmap_cache and setting to false or true has no effect
	* Adding  \force_paint_single_char, set to false has a slight effect, 
like there are now 5-6 steps and there are sometimes 1-2 areas where it 
scrolls smoothly on a few lines. So I'd say subjectively this setting 
removes 10%-20% of the regression.


Note that the issue is still present if scrolling up back to the top 
then down again (IOW it's not a 1 time effect)


For the sake of completness, I have to say I now notice LyX taking 50% 
CPU in all versions while scrolling fast, with I did not remember seeing 
with 2.0.1 before (perhaps I was using another document and I was 
scrolling on smaller areas ...).

(*) If you look closely, the scrollbar sometimes may jump a 2-pixel step

Yes, they are looking at it. If you look at the thread, you'll see 
several names of LyX developers (not exhautively: Pavel Sanda, Richard 
Heck, Jean-Marc Lasgouttes, André Pönitz)


As for the bug report, I ave the impression there are 2 bugs reported in 
the thread under the slow scrolling umbrella:


- high CPU usage and jumpy scrolling (versus smooth), as you reported in 
your message, which is what I observe also. Seems unrealetd to the OS, 
as you are on OS X, I'm on Windows 7. This bug may also be multiple 
ones, as you mention 2.0.1 also has issues while it is flawless for me 
(I do not think it is Qt-version related)


- time needed to reach the bottom of a document, which seems to be 
discussed in the context of OS X only. This may be Qt-version related.


I think Pavel Sanda listed also one recent change related to X11 (Linux 
and cousins).

Interesting. So now we have reports of slow scrolling problems on
multiple versions of OS X and multiple versions of Windows, where
the problem got worse with 2.0.2 relative to 2.0.1.

I don't think we have any reports of problems on Linux yet. Don't
some versions of Linux use Qt as their native GUI engine? If so,
maybe somehow there is less chance to mess things up since it would
then be the native engine for those systems.


Slow scrolling and skipping are subjective - maybe the problem does
exist under Linux, b ut the Linux users are more tolerant :-) (I use
Linux...)


Hi,

Somehow subjective: skipping versus no skipping is objective. :-)

Also, high CPU usage (seen by Jerry and I) is objective, as you can see 
it in the task manager, measured by the OS. Not to mention the fan 
speeding up.


Best regards,

O.



But seriously: to really evaluate this, one would possibly need screen
recordings of the actual scrolling and one person can evaluate them.
Or installation of the OS in a virtual machine, and then checking (but
this would not be representative for all systems).

So I guess a howto to record the actual scrolling on screen and a
website where this can be posted, should help.

The current document in question uses book (koma-script) with all font settings on

Hi,

I think the default are Computer Modern or Latin Modern, and 
according to wikipedia, you can download ttf versions at

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma/ttf/

The file names there remind me of what I used 10 years ago to solve the

Yes, they are looking at it. If you look at the thread, you'll see 
several names of LyX developers (not exhautively: Pavel Sanda, Richard 
Heck, Jean-Marc Lasgouttes, André Pönitz)


As for the bug report, I ave the impression there are 2 bugs reported in 
the thread under the slow scrolling umbrella:


- high CPU usage and jumpy scrolling (versus smooth), as you reported in 
your message, which is what I observe also. Seems unrealetd to the OS, 
as you are on OS X, I'm on Windows 7. This bug may also be multiple 
ones, as you mention 2.0.1 also has issues while it is flawless for me 
(I do not think it is Qt-version related)


- time needed to reach the bottom of a document, which seems to be 
discussed in the context of OS X only. This may be Qt-version related.


I think Pavel Sanda listed also one recent change related to X11 (Linux 
and cousins).

Interesting. So now we have reports of slow scrolling problems on
multiple versions of OS X and multiple versions of Windows, where
the problem got worse with 2.0.2 relative to 2.0.1.

I don't think we have any reports of problems on Linux yet. Don't
some versions of Linux use Qt as their native GUI engine? If so,
maybe somehow there is less chance to mess things up since it would
then be the native engine for those systems.


Slow scrolling and skipping are subjective - maybe the problem does
exist under Linux, b ut the Linux users are more tolerant :-) (I use
Linux...)


Hi,

Somehow subjective: skipping versus no skipping is objective. :-)

Also, high CPU usage (seen by Jerry and I) is objective, as you can see 
it in the task manager, measured by the OS. Not to mention the fan 
speeding up.


Best regards,

O.



But seriously: to really evaluate this, one would possibly need screen
recordings of the actual scrolling and one person can evaluate them.
Or installation of the OS in a virtual machine, and then checking (but
this would not be representative for all systems).

So I guess a howto to record the actual scrolling on screen and a
website where this can be posted, should help.

Hi,

I think the default are Computer Modern or Latin Modern, and 
according to wikipedia, you can download ttf versions at

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma/ttf/

The file names there remind me of what I used 10 years ago to solve the

FWIW, I have been noticing this issue on my Mac as well with LyX 2.0.2
(binary installation) and Mac OSX 10.7.2. It has occurred for me with
small documents as well as large ones. Mouse-scrolling lags substantially.

I just tried it on another Mac system running OSX 10.6.8 and LyX
2.0.0. No problems there. I then updated to LyX 2.0.2 on 10.6.8 and
there were no problems with that either.

So it appears that this issue is unique to LyX on OSX 10.7.x?


No—I'm on OS X 10.6.8.

I double-checked, same Qt version is used on the 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 windows

To check if this is the culprit one may add the following line to your

With LyX on Mac with Qt4 we have two fundamental problems:
1. Qt4 with Carbon crashes when interacting with some desktop tools like Divvy 
or SizeUp
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7365 and
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7519

2. Qt4 with Cocoa is painting text with kerning hints
This doesn't match with the drawing engine of LyX and LyX's cursor movement.
See the discussion here: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg169152.html

I've build 2.0.2 on Mac with Qt4.7 where Cocoa is the default to avoid (1).
The drawback is we have to deal with (2) - the current solution is to draw text 
just char by char,
the text fragments are only one character long.

To check if this is the culprit one may add the following line to your 
preferences file:
\force_paint_single_char false
On a Mac this is the file ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.0/preferences.
(Broken cursor placement for long lines should be one consequence.)


Will try this when I have some time.

Hi Jerry,

seems I was the only person to see it, although I could see it on 2 
machines (different OS versions of windows, different CPU different

takes 50% CPU (my machine is dual-core, so 50% CPU is max for many

2.0.1, with both installers (official and Uwe's) has no such issue and

LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
released under a Free and Open Source Software license.

You can download LyX 2.0.2 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.

If you think you found a bug in LyX 2.0.2, either e-mail the LyX
developers' mailing list (lyx-devel  lists.lyx.org), or open a bug
report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome.

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX and the LyX wiki, which lives at
http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX
users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.0.2.

[...]

On windows7, LyX 2.0.2's scrolling is somehow broken to me. LyX.exe 
takes 50% CPU (my machine is dual-core, so 50% CPU is max for many 
programs), triggers CPU fan to max, and is very laggy (non smooth).


2.0.1, with both installers (official and Uwe's) has no such issue and 
scrolls smoothly.


Even small documents trigger this, e.g. the "Introduction" to LyX.

OS: Win7 32 bits, professional.

Hi all,

There is an option to change the color of  acronyms, Tables and Figures

Those coloured words should represent a problem during the printing of
the thesis, How can I change their color into black?

I am assuming you are referring to the references (links) in the pdf.

Are you using hyperref ? (Document Settings - PDF Properties). If so, 
then uncheck the Color links checkbox in the Hyperlinks tab. See 
section 6.9 of LyX' UserGuide.

Hello!. My first message!

I work with documents with Lyx 2.0.1 in Windows 7 in Spanish.  It works
very well. :). Thanks! It is fantastic. xD

  But could you tell me where is the personal dictionary (default
spellchecker engine - hunspell)? :/  What is the file name? Is it
possible modify it manually?  Thank you! :)


It is in the LyX user folder: Got to your personal directory, something like
C:\Users\yourlogin

then to the hidden AppData subfolder (if your hidden folders are not 
visible, you can type its name in the location bar, I don't know the 
official name), then Roaming folder: that where applications store the 
user settings.

Finally, open the lyx20 folder.

I use Bristish english, the file is called pwl_british.dict for me.

Best regards,

Re: Can I Install a New TeX font in LyX?

Hello Guys. I' a windows user and using LyX 2.0.

I need to use Arial font for my documents, I tried deactivating TeX
Fonts and choose Arial from my windows installed fonts, after that I
tried to compile with Xetex but I'm just getting errors!


Probably one on the XeteX/MikTeX packages is broken. Hopefully, it may 
be fixed soon.



I know that Helvetiva is almost an Arial clone and I can select
Helvetica from TeX fonts from sans serif 's drop down menu, but I did
a research and found that urw-arial
located here: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/urw/arial/  is an
Arial font pack for use with LaTeX. I need to know how to install it
and show it in the LyX dropdown menu for sans serif 's fonts the same
way as selecting Helvetica.


I have the same limitation as you have. Please note that the URW A030 
Arial is not really Arial. The differences between Arial and Helvetica 
are described in

http://ilovetypography.com/2007/10/06/arial-versus-helvetica/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica
http://www.ms-studio.com/articlesarialsid.html

When using the URW Arial, the G and R are the Arial ones, but the C, t, 
a, 1 are the Helvetica ones. You can actually even see that for a, t and 
1 on the sample text on page:

http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/arial/
which also states that The font that is actually provided is URW A030.


I could notice that in latex code appear \usepackage{helvet} when I
select it in the drop down menu, so I think is possible to do the same
thing for the urw-arial. After all it will be just adding another font
to LyX.


If you nonetheless want to use this fake arial font, once you have it 
installed through MikTeX (which I think you have already), all you need 
to do is to add


\usepackage[scaled]{uarial}

to the preamble (in Document - Settings... - LaTeX Preamble).



I need to know how to do that... A tutorial or something please.

Please help!
Thankyou in advance...

Olivier

PS: off-topic. You wrote Helvetiva is almost an Arial clone, but it's 
more the opposite.

I realized that roman numbers are so tiny and lower case. I need them
upper case a bit bigger.
Arabic numbers are fine.

How could I achieve that?

P.S:_ for roman numbers I used this in the preamble:

\renewcommand{\thepage}{\roman{page}}

I think roman means lowercase while Roman means uppercase. And
