Fedora Core mathml-bakoma4lyx and mathml-fonts packages
Hello, font needing LyX users of Fedora Core Linux: Recently, I offered an RPM containing the bakoma4lyx fonts, a subset of bakoma that was made available with permission of the author. That package is http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/software/PolsFC4Updates/latex-bakoma4lyx-fonts-1-2.noarch.rpm That is a replacement for the latex-xft-fonts package, which provided lower quality fonts. After that, I learned that Fedora Core extras was distributing a font file mathml-fonts and that the lyx in FC4-Extras was requiring mathml-fonts. Recently, Stephen Harris asked if the mathml-fonts package conflicts or duplicates my latex-bakoma4lyx-fonts package and I decided to check it out. I downloaded the source code for the FC Extras package mathml-fonts that was prepared by Rex Dieter. The package is very well designed and the spec file is well documented. Where do latex-bakoma4lyx-fonts and mathml-fonts differ? mathml-fonts is a BIGGER set of fonts than bakoma4lyx-fonts. mathml-fonts innstalls these /usr/libexec/mathml-fonts /usr/libexec/mathml-fonts/find_symbol_font.sh /usr/share/fonts/mathml /usr/share/fonts/mathml/cmbx10.ttf /usr/share/fonts/mathml/cmex10.ttf /usr/share/fonts/mathml/cmmi10.ttf /usr/share/fonts/mathml/cmr10.ttf /usr/share/fonts/mathml/cmsy10.ttf /usr/share/fonts/mathml/math1___.ttf /usr/share/fonts/mathml/math2___.ttf /usr/share/fonts/mathml/math4___.ttf /usr/share/fonts/mathml/msam10.ttf /usr/share/fonts/mathml/msbm10.ttf /usr/share/fonts/mathml/mtextra.ttf /usr/share/fonts/mathml/wasy10.ttf This list includes the original latex-xft fonts (the ones with 10 in the name), one font from the bakoma package (cmbx10.ttf) which over writes the latex-xft version, a font from MTW_Truetype.exe (mtextra.ttf) and the rest (mathX__.ttf) are from the Mathematica program(http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/windows/general/MathFonts_TrueType. exe). I do not know for sure the licensing provisions of all of these and wish there were a doc directory with information on that. People say the latex-xft-fonts look bad. Humph. So I wanted the mathml-fonts package, but with the bakoma4lyx fonts replacing the latex-xft-fonts. mathml-fonts also has some nice post processing to help acrobat reader find fonts (there is a script called find_symbol_font). I've left the install directory as /usr/share/fonts/mathml so that the post-install processing is not broken. For my Fedora Linux systems I prepared just such a collection, using Rex's framework and making only the minimal changes to insert the bakoma4lyx fonts and tighten up packaging. I inserted the bakoma4lyx Readme.txt documentation to acknowledge the fine effort of the bakoma authors. In case you want, you can install it http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/software/PolsFC4Updates/mathml-bakoma4lyx-fonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/software/PolsFC4Updates/mathml-bakoma4lyx-fonts-2.0-1.src.rpm Warning: I inserted provisions here so that, when you install this, it Obsoletes latex-xft-fonts, latex-bakoma4lyx-fonts, and mathml-fonts and it lets the RPM system know it provides all functionality of mathml-fonts package. So LyX installs/upgrades from FedoraExtras will be fine. I have run lyx and seen these nice fonts, all seems well. In the increasingly byzantine and arcane world of X system administration, it is not clear to me how exactly X11 or the Fedora font server find these fonts, but I think they are being found, even though the directory in which the fonts are installed is never explicitly put into a font search path for X11 or for the font server. Maybe its Freetype magic. I know absolutely for sure because I uninstalled mathml-bakoma4lyx-fonts and then lyx could not find any math fonts, and re-installed it and lyx could show the lovely alphas and betas. -- Paul E.

Does Edit Preferences Converters work for you??
I'm running Fedora Core 4 linux with lyx 1.3.6 and the qt front end. Today I have been re-tracing my steps to make LyX work together with R to process Sweave documents (http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg36262.html) I'm trying to use the menus to insert a converter from NoWeb to LaTex and the behavior of the GUI is completely erratic. If I choose NoWeb and LaTeX from the pull downs and click the new button, I can t ype in a program's name, in this case, it is Rweave $$i. The dialogue does create a line in the converter list, but it won't remember the command. If I close the dialogue and re-open it, I try to fill in the missing command by hitting the modify button, and it just creates a copy of the original NoWeb-LaTeX converter, and it won't save anything I edit. I can manually edit the file ~/.lyx/preferences to make the converter known to Lyx. And the Sweave magic does work. But I can't get there with the LyX GUI -- Paul E.

Re: lyx 1.3.6 win32 install missing textclass.lst
I had this same problem yesterday, but only when i DID NOT install in te default directories. I tried installing in C:\ProgramFiles\LyX and lyx would not start because of that textclass.lst error. When I uninstalled completely and allowed the default into C:\Program Files\LyX, then it started fine. Are you sure the error happened after installing in the base directory?

convert text to math equation
I was lazy and typed several pages with ordinary text for variables x, y, and z. Later, I wanted to convert those to math, and I try to highlight the things and hit C-m. That does create the math box, but it does not convert the existing character to the math font. The only fix I could find was to manually retype all the letters I wanted converted. Does Lyx work that way on your system? I'm running Lyx-1.3.5 with qt gui on Fedora Core 4. ps I tried changing font to italics, but it does not look the same as letters in math mode. -- Paul E.

Path problem pdf output in Lyx for Win32
I'm a Unix user, but have to set up 2 windows computers for LyX. The 1.3.5 edition of Lyx for Win32 works very well as far as I can tell. I can enter equations and view them in dvi. For some reason, yap always opens minimized, but that's OK by me. I think the troubles I find are caused by the fact that the user home dir has spaces in it. User home directories are in C:\Documents And Settings\username. Users want to put lyx files under My Documents in there and then lyx does not work there. So, what to do? Has anybody found a way to reconfigure windows and rename the home dir to C:\DocumentsAndSettings for all users? In Edit/Preferences/Path, I changed the working directory to C:\Windows\Temp. But it will not do to have all users writing in there. Pdf output fails, no matter what i do. It fails either if I want to view in acrord32 or save to disk. I believe it is due to path problems, because lyx keeps creating a directory C:\Documents but that is empty. -- Paul E.

I believe it is due to path problems, because lyx keeps creating a directory C:\Documents but that is empty. -- Paul E.

can lyx native windows lyx use tetex from cygwin?
Hello, everybody. I'm paying my once-per-year visit to ms windows to see what's up. Today I'm wondering if I really have to install MikTeX when I already have a working latex.. I have a full cygwin install and latex works in there. I can process latex files from Texmacs, for example. Texmacs is distributed as a Cygwin package and it runs in their X server just fine. That X server is about 100 times better than it was the last time I tried it out, incidentally. I installed ImageMagik, ghostscript for windows (also have ghostscript in cygwin), and the other windows lyx prerequisites. When I run lyx reconfigure, the output in the terminal it says it can't use latex. I don't understand it because I have put c:\cygwin\bin on the path and, in the terminal (either cygwin terminal or dos command shell) I can type which latex and it points to the right spot. Has anybody mastered this one? -- Paul E.

Foreign language followup
I speak/write only English. In a while, I'll go to Europe and visit my
friends who speak all kinds of languages, including Ukrainian. I've
been following the threads here about languages and accents and there
are a couple of things I can't figure out.
I'm running Fedora Core 3 Linux with the Gnome desktop and the LyX rpm I
downloaded from the LyX ftp site is compiled with qt support.
The Good News:
I can get accents!
I don't have consistent success setting up this system to use the
compose key or international keyboard, but I can always use the LyX
command box to get the accents. In the box at the bottom, if I type
accent-breve and then type a letter, the accent shows properly.
The compose key is supposed to facilitate this, I realize, but in Gnome
and X, it seems like the keyboard configuration is too jumbled up for me
to make it work right every time. There's a real sense in which Gnome
has tried to take over a lot of configuration functions from X and so
occasional users get bogged down in options and HOWTOs that don't apply.
Oh, well.
Other Good News:
I can download LyX files prepared in other languages and see their
characters on the screen.
The Bad News:
In LyX, I cannot understand how to type characters from other character
sets. I'm following along with the manual, following this approach to
type in Ukrainian. First I start lyx with a LANG setting. I believe
this should do it
$ LANG=uk lyx
Then in Layout/Document/Language, I set Ukrainian, and leave enconding
at auto. Then in Edit/Preferences/Language settings/Language, I set the
default language Ukrainian. I leave the packages as they are set:
Language package: \usepackage{babel}
Command start: \selectlanguage{$$lang}
Command end:
Apply that, close it.
Then I'm back in the LyX document, and when I type, it just comes out in
English letters.
As far as I understand it (not far), the Cyrillic (both Ukrainian or
Russian) entry does not require a Chinese/Japanese style input like
iiimf or such. Rather, the entry uses a one-stroke-per-letter method
similar to English or Spanish.
How do I get it to type in the other Ukrainian characters?

Re: Using utf8 in the preamble
On Fedora Core 3, I installed tetex-3.0 from the development tree for
FC4 and it works fabulous. THe new xdvi is much much better and the
funny problem with the fonts in URLs is fixed.
So it seems to me you might want to double-check your 3.0 install before
giving up.

Unstable indeed. Killed my LyX (no view DVI, no export, no nothing).
Unfortunately I just don't have the time to write a meaningful bug report
and follow it, so I just got back to teTeX 2.
I guess I'll just stick to using iconv on minimal LyX files when I really
need it, which is not often, and see when teTeX 3 becomes stable.
Thanks.

Re: Incorporating PSTricks Figures in a Document
This thread is making me feel too stupid. I don't really care how pdf
output gets created, I'm happy to use any of the methods you recommend.
In fact, sometimes I can't make it work in lyx but the script
tex2pdf does what I need. But I now notice it calls pdflatex, and so
the pstricks do not display.
I have Paul's example of a pstrick in lyx. If I want to process that
through pdflatex, you say I need ps4pdf. But I can't understand how it
is supposed to work. I downloaded ps4pdf.sty and the script ps4pdf, put
the former in my latex distro (ran texhash) and put the script in the
path (after making it executable).
Now, what magical incantation is needed to take the lyx doc with the
pstricks in it into pdflatex?

Re: Dead keys problem, v. 1.3.5 Spanish accents
I don't have luck getting the compose key to work on my FC3 systems either. For me it is a matter of keyboard setup and compose key not working well with other elements. However, in the online Lyx reference manual, I find I can get the symbols with accents in another way http://www.fnal.gov/docs/products/lyx/Reference.tex.html Section 3.3.1 show how to get all manner of special characters. In the "command" slot at the bottom of lyx, type "accent-acute" and hit enter, then the next letter you hit will appear with the acute. I THINK this works fine for me. indy wrote: Hi, I'm using Lyx under Fedora Core 3. I have a problem with dead keys. I need write accents but this is not posible with my version. Example: á see like 'a in Lyx. I'm reading there is a problem with qt, but I no found any solution. How can I solve it? thanks! -- Paul E.

Re: Harvard referencing style with Bibdesk
I've recently been through the learning experience trying to use
Harvard, and gave up because it doesn't work with natbib. So I made
some notes about customizing bst files and hope people think the notes
are useful.

In that same directory, I left the apsa2.bst and apsa2.dbj files that
are mentioned in there.
Good luck.

Weird Inconsitencies in handling of xfig drawings (converter preference question)
I have a little back end trouble with output of xfig drawings. I wrote a chapter and in the process discovered that LyX can directly import xfig drawings. I previously was using EPS export versions of the drawings. but it was very very convenient to leave them in fig format, so I can edit them and they automagically update in LyX. Then I notice this horrible/weird thing. On 2 Fedora Core systems, the appearance of the xfig drawings is grossly different. On one system, the figures are automatically cropped to display just the drawing with no whitespace. On another system, with the exact same document, the figures are rotated 90 degrees and a lot of whitespace shows around the edges, so they go off the page. After freaking out, I started inspecting the preferences for converters. I'm gradually figuring out that some preferences saved in ~/.lyx on one system from older versions of LyX, and so perhaps they are incomplete. One has converters for xfig-eps and the other does not. After I install a converter, then the onscreen display and postscript output is correct. But the pdflatex output is not. If you want to see what I mean, please look at page 30 in these two documents: The Right output http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/ps608/Johnson_MathVoting.pdf The Wrong output http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/ps608/WrongFigureVoting.pdf I HYPOTHESIZE that, in order to get the pdf (pdflatex) output correct, I need a filter configured for XFig-PDF(pdflatex).

relyx, book format, dissertation example trouble
Hello LyX users.
I'm trying to coach a student through a dissertation using LyX, and I've
not used LyX for anything bigger than an article (so far).
I found online at the U of Texas a dissertation format for LaTeX, and I
can make it work with LaTeX, but when I use relyx to grab it into Lyx, I
end up with some pretty serious problems.
Here's the URL
http://www.utexas.edu/ogs/etd/LaTeX/index.html
The one I'm trying is utdiss2, which comes complete with a main
document disstemplate.tex which includes several other files.
The relyx import properly creates the main document and lyx files for
the included chapters and appendices. If you want to try it and see, it
won't take more than a couple of minutes. Unfortunately, after
importing in LyX, the latex command generates many errors, and I have a
hard time figuring out what's going on.
Problems.
1. LaTeX errors caused by commands in the included files show as LaTeX
errors in the main file, and don't give any hint which file the came
from. I was able to do some grepping about and find that almost all of
the errors trace back to the math and latex drawing and figure chapters.
If you try it, I think you will see the first block of LaTeX errors
refer to an attempt to do a commutative diagram in chapter-math.lyx.
That uses the package amscd, which I do have, and when I proces the
tex file with latex, the diagram is created. But inside lyx, it does not
work.
2. I want to see what is wrong with the imported chapter
chapter-math.lyx. I can't make much headway because that chapter
can't be compiled apart from the others because the others have a huge
piece of preamble that enables a lemma environment and so forth.
Should I copy the whole preamble from disstemplate.lyx into
chapter-math.lyx?
I tried that and the problems all focus on that attempt to use a
commutative diagram.
3. In the Idx items that are imported, there are words that lyx objects
to. If you look at chapter-appendix2.lyx you see the first Idx item
has this text:
Appendix!My Appendix #2@
The inside-LyX latex error says that the symbol # cannot be used in
horizontal environments. Why does it work with latex and not LyX?
Can you tell me what kinds of words are allowed/needed inside the Idx box?
4. Suppose I solved those LaTeX problems. Then I'd like to write a LyX
layout utdiss2 so that users could get at the lemma and theorem
environments that are in the preamble. That's not hard, is it? If I
take the report.layout file from the LyX distro, I can add items?
The latex preamble elements look like this:
%%
% Some math support. %
%%
%
% Theorem environments (these need the amsthm package)
%
%% \theoremstyle{plain} %% This is the default
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}[section]

errors in the main file, and don't give any hint which file the came
from. I was able to do some grepping about and find that almost all of
the errors trace back to the math and latex drawing and figure chapters.
If you try it, I think you will see the first block of LaTeX errors
refer to an attempt to do a commutative diagram in "chapter-math.lyx".
That uses the package "amscd", which I do have, and when I proces the
tex file with latex, the diagram is created. But inside lyx, it does not
work.
2. I want to see what is wrong with the imported chapter
"chapter-math.lyx". I can't make much headway because that chapter
can't be compiled apart from the others because the others have a huge
piece of preamble that enables a lemma environment and so forth.
Should I copy the whole preamble from disstemplate.lyx into
"chapter-math.lyx"?
I tried that and the problems all focus on that attempt to use a
commutative diagram.
3. In the Idx items that are imported, there are words that lyx objects
to. If you look at "chapter-appendix2.lyx" you see the first Idx item
has this text:
Appendix!My Appendix #2@
The inside-LyX latex error says that the symbol # cannot be used in
horizontal environments. Why does it work with latex and not LyX?
Can you tell me what kinds of words are allowed/needed inside the Idx box?
4. Suppose I solved those LaTeX problems. Then I'd like to write a LyX
layout "utdiss2" so that users could get at the lemma and theorem
environments that are in the preamble. That's not hard, is it? If I
take the report.layout file from the LyX distro, I can add items?
The latex preamble elements look like this:
%%
% Some math support. %
%%
%
% Theorem environments (these need the amsthm package)
%
%% \theoremstyle{plain} %% This is the default
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}[section]
\newtheorem{cor}[thm]{Corollary}
\newtheorem{lem}[thm]{Lemma}
\newtheorem{prop}[thm]{Proposition}
\newtheorem{ax}{Axiom}
\theoremstyle{definition}
\newtheorem{defn}{Definition}[section]
\theoremstyle{remark}
\newtheorem{rem}{Remark}[section]
\newtheorem*{notation}{Notation}
%\numberwithin{equation}{section}

Re: PDF Generation - URL problem
I have had the too long URL problem in the past and was monitoring
this thread. I changed Herbert's test file just slightly (attached), and
I don't see any difference in the way the 2 urls are treated. Both are
broken correctly with pdflatex, but in the other pdf and xdvi output,
they run off into the right margin and off the edge of the page.
I have the same problem with equations, and in that case I think I have
no alternative but to break into lines manually. But with URLs, where
line placement is more unpredictable, I'm concerned.

Lyx works with R Sweave. Followup question enclosed
I followed along with the LyX noweb instructions and have succeeded in using LyX to create NoWeb documents that can be sent to the statistical program R and turned into LaTex by R's Sweave program. I was using Emacs for things like this, but found I made about 9 times more errors writing equations in the old LaTeX way than I make with LyX. Because I figure I will have to do this on 10 different computers with 10 different users, I wrote down how I did it and pasted it below. Here's my question. I would like to make LyX send code chunks to R interactively, so that I don't have to process the whole monstrously huge LyX document and all attendant R code. If I'm using Emacs, there's a package called ESS that allows me to open an R session and then pipe command chunks over. How about telling me how I can do that with LyX? HOWTO info--- For information on the statistical program R, consult http://www.r-project.org. For more info on Sweave in R, you can consult the FAQ from the author of Sweave, the R component that does the processing of the Rnw file. http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~leisch/Sweave/FAQ.html There are 3 steps to make LyX work with Sweave. 1. Put the batch script for processing Rnw files into an executable file and save it in your path. That file is in the Sweave documentation, but here it is again for reference. I named it Rweave. The version recommended by the Sweave author is this: Rweave: #!/bin/sh echo library(tools); Sweave(\$1\) | R --no-save --no-restore I've seen various renditions of this script. 2. Fool LyX into thinking you have the whole of Noweb installed. Noweb is a package you can download and install, but you don't need it all. All you need is the noweb.sty file, the LaTeX style file. Install that in your LaTeX, I put it under /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/noweb because that's a standard place to store user added latex files. If you want, I could package up my /usr/local/share/texmf directory and you could untar into your system. I also have the LaTeX files for the beamer presentations I make in LyX, those are the ones I show in Pols 110 when I don't use Powerpoint. After dropping the noweb.sty file in, then run texhash to make sure your LaTeX system knows about the file. 3. Configure LyX. First, open LyX, choose edit and reconfigure and let it run. You should notice in the output it finds the noweb style and now you get new document classes. Close LyX, restart. Now you need to configure LyX. LyX needs to know that your file is a NoWeb file and that it has to be post processed. Ordinarly, LyX goes directly from *.lyx format to *.tex format, but now it will go from *.lyx to *.nw format. You have to tell it how to handle the nw file. In Lyx, you will see the document classes now include Noweb variants. Choose article(Noweb). THat tells Lyx that you want to process your file through another program. Now you have to tell LyX what that other program is. In Lyx's Edit / Preferences dialog, choose the Converters option. This menu interface is confusing. Here's the way it should go. a. In the From pulldown, choose NoWeb b. In the To pulldown, choose LaTeX c. Hit the new button toward the bottom. d. Make sure the Converter NoWeb-LaTeX is chosen, and then in the box called Converter type the name of the batch script you saved above. Mine was called Rweave, so I put Rweave in there.

Re: Bringing .rtf or .doc files into Lyx
Get the free sample of word2tex. It worked very well for me. I just needed it once so I did not buy it. If you want to keep using it, it must mean it is important so you can pay. I see on their page http://www.sciencesoftware.com/Word2TeX.asp it is now $99 or such. I've not used it in Office XP, but for Office 2000 it was really great. pj Raphael Clifford wrote: Hi, In relation to wvWare and rtf2latex2e, you really need to email the developers of those application and include as small an example .rtf as you can that shows these problems.

Need bigger margin on first page only. It is impossible? Circumvent via LyX bug?
Greetings!
I used Lyx with fancyhdr to put a big image in the header on the first
page. (Found info in LyX User Guide on fancyhdr). To accomodate that
1 inch image, I have to make the page top margin 1.5 inches. If I don't
make the margin that big, then the image in the header is pushed off the
top of the page.
But that fancy page style is applied on page 1 only. I use plain for
the rest of the document. I want to make the margin revert to 1 inch at
the top on following pages. I've read through lots of emails about TeX
and the conclusion seems to be that this is impossible. geometry can
only be accessed from the preamble on a document wide basis.
Is that true? I can't hardly believe it.
I will gladly supply example lyx document if it helps you see what I
mean, but from the email archives, I gather most of you already do know
what I mean. I'm just double checking on the answer
As an alternative, I could take the image out of the header, but I need
a way to make it draw in above the top margin on the first page. I
accidentally found a way to do this, but it frightens me because I think
it is exploiting a bug in lyx. Take an image that is 4 inches, and
insert into the top of the lyx document. It is too huge. Then:
1. click on the image, and chose the scaling, and change it to 1 inch.
When you say OK and view dvi, the image in the document is not
rescaled. The image is huge.
2. Use the clipping option with the image. If you change get the
coordinates from the document in the clipping menu for the image, and
leave those coordinates alone, then the dvi output shows the image fully
within the margin. However, and this is where I think the bug is, if
you change the top right coordiate to about one half of its original
value, it cause the image to move up into the margin area.
My understanding with clipping, which holds true if you do not rescale
the image, is that the clipping works like cropping a photo. It cuts
down the part of the image that you actually use. However, with a big
picture that is rescaled, I see this unexpected effect of cropping. The
image placement moves the 1 inch image up into the margin, about right
for letterhead.
Is this an unknown thing? Maybe not a bug, but a feature? I'm
attaching the document lyxBugTest1.lyx but I'm not giving the image
file that goes with it. The image file Univ_sealGiantBlue.eps is a 4.5 x
4.5 inch eps image. It is a big thing (1.4 megabytes) and I don't want
to impose it on your email list. I figure you can put in your own big
eps file to see what I mean.

Re: Need bigger margin on first page only. It is impossible? Circumvent via LyX bug?
Thanks for the pointer.
In my preample I insert \usepackage{afterpage} and then at the top of
page 1 I put in this
\afterpage{\addtolength{\topmargin}{0.5in}}
and it does move page two's margin up one half inch! Awesome.

Subject: Need bigger margin on first page only. It is impossible? Circumvent
via LyX bug?
Greetings!
I used Lyx with fancyhdr to put a big image in the header on the first
page. (Found info in LyX User Guide on fancyhdr). To accomodate that
1 inch image, I have to make the page top margin 1.5 inches. If I don't
make the margin that big, then the image in the header is pushed off the
top of the page.
But that fancy page style is applied on page 1 only. I use plain for
the rest of the document. I want to make the margin revert to 1 inch at
the top on following pages. I've read through lots of emails about TeX
and the conclusion seems to be that this is impossible. geometry can
only be accessed from the preamble on a document wide basis.
Is that true? I can't hardly believe it.
AFAIR, you may not _define_ margins after the beginning of document,
but you may _change_ existing values, e.g. (in ERT)
\addtolength{\topmargin}{0.5in}
on page 1
\addtolength{\topmargin}{-0.5in}
on page 2.
Is this OK ?

I will gladly supply example lyx document if it helps you see what I
mean, but from the email archives, I gather most of you already do know
what I mean. I'm just double checking on the answer
As an alternative, I could take the image out of the header, but I need
a way to make it draw in above the top margin on the first page. I
accidentally found a way to do this, but it frightens me because I think
it is exploiting a bug in lyx. Take an image that is 4 inches, and
insert into the top of the lyx document. It is too huge. Then:
1. click on the image, and chose the scaling, and change it to 1 inch.

Ragged right. Please?

Compiled 1.2.1 for RH7.3. Want to test?
Earlier I asked about lyx and g++3, got an email to revert to g++-2.96, so I did, and it did build. If you are a RH user, get the xforms 88 from lyx's contrib dir, and then try this one: http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/software/lyx-1.2.1-1rh73-xforms088.i386.rpm I copied the name's format from the rpm lyx had on its ftp for version 1.2.0. I'm glad to donate this to the lyx server if it works for other people. As far as I understand it, this does not depend on any RPMS that are not in the RH distribution itself except for xforms, which I got here: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/xforms-0.88-4.i386.rpm So if it asks for something when you try to install, get out your cds. I used that xforms because I guessed (at random) that it would be more stable than 0.89. WHen I ran lyx-1.2.0 under 0.89, I got lots of console error messages that grossed me out, but did not hurt lyx as far as I could see. Good luck, let me know if it works. Then tell me how to transport that rpm to the lyx ftp site maintainer. -- Paul E.

That's too bad, because pdf is the only feasible way I can take s

drawing imports don't work the way I expect
I found the tip on importing xfig drawings http://www.lyx.org/help/xfig/xfig.html as well as Allen Barker's essay referred to there. That essay is nicely done and the steps involved in the various approaches are pretty easy to follow. But it does not work quite the way I expect. I originally wanted to be able to resize drawings without making the text change sizes. When I do eps drawings, the text gets too small or too big if I resize. I think I understand from the tips that this not feasible at all, the best one can do is draw the graph the right size and then there are a couple of strategies for dealing with the text size in the drawing. I THOUGHT (always dangerous!) from the tip sheet that if I use the xfig export as pslatex/ps trick, that I would have a figure in which the text is the same font/size as the surrounding document and the picture part would be fixed. The doc warns that it is important to get the size right in xfig, and I think I understand why. But here's the part I don't get. When I include a pslatex_t file, the image shows, but if I change fontsize in the document, the font size change affects not only the font size in the drawing, but it makes the graph part bigger too. Highlighting a float and changing the character layout to huger affects everything, not just text. But I had it drawn correctly at the start. I just want to change the text. So I'm left wondering what's the good of that, if I drew the picture the right size, and only want to adjust the size of the text, where did I fall off the train? I'm rapidly reaching the conclusion that a regular old eps export, from a document that is the right size and with the appopriate font, is the correct way to go. These other things are too hard to understand. -- Paul E.

drawing imports don't work the way I expect
I found the tip on importing xfig drawings http://www.lyx.org/help/xfig/xfig.html as well as Allen Barker's essay referred to there. That essay is nicely done and the steps involved in the various approaches are pretty easy to follow. But it does not work quite the way I expect. I originally wanted to be able to resize drawings without making the text change sizes. When I do eps drawings, the text gets too small or too big if I resize. I think I understand from the tips that this not feasible at all, the best one can do is draw the graph the right size and then there are a couple of strategies for dealing with the text size in the drawing. I THOUGHT (always dangerous!) from the tip sheet that if I use the xfig export as pslatex/ps trick, that I would have a figure in which the text is the same font/size as the surrounding document and the picture part would be fixed.

Type 3 font in pdf output turns invisible?
On RedHat 7.2 I'm running lyx 1.1.6fix3 with ghostscript 7.03. I set fonts to pslatex in document settings and used export to pdf from. It looks pretty, except some of the math disappears. In particular, acrobat reader does not show the minus signs! There is no warning. If I view the same pdf file in xpdf, there is an error message saying that the document uses Type 3 fonts and it can't use them. I read in the ps2pdf docs where it says it converts Type 3 fonts to high resolution bitmaps, so I'm confused. I've checked and confirmed that the dvi and ps output exported from the same file is fine, only the pdf is trouble. The frightening part is that I only noticed this problem by accident, since I'm not a professional proof reader it is unlikely I would catch every inconsistency between a pdf and a lyx file. Can you enlighten me? -- Paul E.

export html really does not work, eps puzzles too
I saw a note about this recently in here. I installed latex2html.
I use RedHat 6.1 with lyx 1.5.1fix
In lyx, when I try export to HTML, a menu says "file.tex" already
exists. Do you want to overwrite the file?
WHile I'm exposing more of my ignorance, let me ask this. I imported an
eps file and it looks fine on the screen in lyx, but when I view in dvi
the figure is all the way over to the right side of the page. I've
found it fixes it if I set the horizontal width at 100%. Can someone
explain why?
Also, in the panel you get when you double click an the eps figure,
there is a space for a caption. In the exported tex, it shows up like
caption{} but there are no words in it. Does this work for you? It
works in a floating figure that I say is a subfigure.

Installing lyx and cls files
I built lyx on RedHat 6.2. 1st: WHen I first started lyx, and clicked file| import LaTeX was greyed out. I clicked in Options|LaTex and no options panel comes up, but then LaTeX under the import menu is no longer greyed out. Can you explain why? 2nd: I see there are lyx RPMs available and they have a separate package with the *.cls files in it that are copied into /usr/share/texfm. I'm not using the RPMs because I don't have root access on some machines. If I am not root, what do I do to make those cls files available to lyx? Did I miss some install doc? 3rd: I think lyx should write in /tmp, not the current directory or the directory where the document is located. reLyx fails unless I start lyx from a directory where I have write permissions and also the document I want to open is in a directory where I have write permissions. I think it is weird. Why doesn't it write in /tmp, so users won't see this in the console when they run lyx: $ lyx reLyX, the LaTeX to LyX translator.
