Re: Need Verdana font for the PDF generated from Lyx

2009-06-16 Thread Parul Bali
Hi Ingar, Guenter,

Thanks very much for your inputs.

I finally used Xelatex to generate the PDF with Verdana font. It works very
well, except that it does not support the  `attachfile' package that I use
to attach files to the PDF document. Do you know of any other packages that
Xelatex supports, that can be used to attach files to the PDF.

I first generated a tex file from my Lyx file, and then added the following
lines to the tex file before running the Xelatex command to generate the
PDF.
*\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Verdana}*


I got the following warning (however, the PDF got generated without any
attachments) -
Package attachfile Warning: attachfile works _only_ with pdfLaTeX and
_only_ in

(attachfile)PDF-generating mode. For this run, placeholders
wil
l
(attachfile)be substituted for all attachfile commands..



Many thanks in advance,

Parul

 Bitstream Vera (or the extended version DejaVy) is the font used by
 OpenOffice: like Verdana it is designed for good appearance in both
 on-screen and printed documents. It is supported in LaTeX by the two
 packages 'bera' (Vera serif) and 'arev' (sans serif with math support).

Re: Need Verdana font for the PDF generated from Lyx

2009-06-13 Thread Parul Bali
Thanks for all your responses.

Ingar,

I tried using the Winfonts package and followed the instructions in the
README file, but it doesn't seem to work for me.  I'm using a Windows Vista
system, and updated the updmap.cfg and ttf2pk.cfg files, as instructed. I
then refreshed the File name DB for MIKTEK, and ran the udpmap utility. It
didn't give any error, but the font in the resulting PDF was not Verdana.
Would you be able to help?

I came across this FAQ page on Lyx Wiki, where it is described how to make
it work for versions earlier than MIKTEK 2.5.
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinTips
Does anyone have any pointers as to how to make it work with MIKTEK 2.7?

Many thanks,

Is it because lyx is trying to compile your file in a temp folder, but the file 
you want to attach was not copied over to the temp location, so a relative path 
(relative to the actual lyx file, not the temp file) doesn't work?

I am also new to lyx, so lyxers, please correct me if I am wrong.

I guess you are looking for this:
http://www.ctan.org/get/macros/latex/contrib/attachfile/attachfile.pdf

You can use this LaTeX package to attach files in your PDF.

Lyx to html with plastex

2009-04-19 Thread Parul Bali
Hi All,

I am trying to convert a latex document to html on Windows using Plastex.
The latex document has png and eps images. On running the Plastex command
for conversion, I get the following error. Any ideas what is going on? I
have attached the lyx file and the plain latex file.

 

Thanks

RE: Lyx to html with plastex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for this. The html file looks very good indeed. However, was
wondering if it would be possible to have separate html files for each page
(as is possible with Plastex). Also, noticed that the table of contents
isn't displayed. Is it in the works?

Thanks,
Parul

 No, but you should give this new program a try:

 http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/

Yes, please give eLyXer a try. Version 0.15 has just been published
with a few improvements. If your favorite mirror does not carry it
yet, just go to
  http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases-noredirect/elyxer/

Your document is rendered acceptably, although the date does not come
out centered -- it will be solved for next version. If you need
anything else to make it work for you just let me know.

Thanks,

Alex.
