ispell dictionary
I would like to employ enother dictionary (british english) with LyX. I have created the hash-file using buildhash. However, I do not have access to the directory where the dictionary are installed in ispell. Normally, I use the -d option for this job. How can I convince LyX to use this dictionary. Thanks, Torsten
Re: ispell dictionary
which lyx version do you have? 1.1.5fix1 running under Solaris, Torsten

log file, how to limit output
Hallo, when I try to look in the log file, I can see some lines for every eps figure which is included (which are a lot!). When looking for a real error message or warning (e.g. missing references etc.) this is disturbing. Is it possible to limit the output in the log file? Or can I filter the output (where is the real file?) Thanks, Torsten
Re: log file, how to limit output
But the short log on STDOUT requires that you have started lyx in an terminal (IMHO). On stdout I see only the messages of bibtex, no latex messages. So it seems, there is no way to switch off the log entries for the figures. Torsten

Re: online fonts look bad on notebook
What fonts do you use right now? If you want fixed size, times and helvetica should give you enough flexibility. Also make sure that your dpi setting is correct. Finally, you can play with the zoom setting to get larger/smaller fonts. I am using times, but have also played with helvetica, utopia and a lot of other fonts. Now I am using fixed size times, which gives the best (but not good) results. Finally, after revisiting other applications on my notebook, I came to the conclusion, that there must be something wrong with the fonts on my notebook in general. LyX, however, has the biggest problems (and it is the application I am using most of the time). Thanks, Torsten
Figures side by side
Hallo, I would like to put two figures side by side in a float. I have already done this for subfigues where it works fine. Is it possible to do it with figures (I need a separate caption)? Thanks, Torsten

compatibility lyxfile 1.0.3 and 1.1.5
Hi, currently I am using lyx 1.0.3. I would like to change to 1.1.5fix1 because of its new features (especially cut and paste is very useful, thanks for that) On the other, I must be able to give other people (which work with 1.0.3) my files and get them back from them after editing. On the website, there it is mentioned, that there are some problems with compatibility. Do I have to expect problems, when I only use the features, which lyx 1.0.3 provides? Thanks, Torsten
online fonts look bad on notebook
Hi, I use LyX with Linux (Suse 6.1) on a Toshiba notebook pc with resolution 1024x768. The program itself works well, but the fonts do not look very well on the screen. I have tried to play with options-screenfonts, but I am not able to get a much better result. When I use LyX on our Solaris system, the fonts look much better. Does anybody know, what I could do about that? Thanks, Torsten
Re: online fonts look bad on notebook
It happens if you do not have good quality scalable fonts (like type1 fonts under solaris or truetype fonts under linux). In this case, add in lyxrc \screen_font_scalable false This will force LyX to use only non-stretched bitmap fonts. thanks for you quick answer. I have already tried it, but then all letters are the same size (on our Solaris system, the fonts look only slightly changed in this case?). Maybe I have to install other fonts. Is this possible in Linux? Torsten
Re: online fonts look bad on notebook
Are you using the same fonts in both cases? I type in the same string in options-screen_fonts-roman: -*-times What kind of fonts are you using (Bitmap, Type1, TrueType)? how can I figure this out? I must admit, that my knowledge about fonts is low. Until now I have simply chosen them in applications. Is the problem LyX specific? the fonts of the system tools look not bad, also with Staroffice it looks good (however not perfect), but in LyX it is really hard to read. thanks, Torsten

wide-fig behind normal figures
Hallo, I have a 2-column document with some normal figures included as float and some wide-figure which span both columns. Everything works fine, except that the last wide figure is printed after all the other figures nearly at the end of the document. This means the numbering of the figures becomes incorrect: the sequence is now: 1,2,3,4,6,7,5 What can I do about that. Do I something wrong? Is there another possibility to have figures printed over both columns? Thanks, Torsten

Hallo, I would like to include an algorithm as float in a paper. It should look like: if(ddd) do blabla do more blabla else do other things ... I have seen that there is an algorithm float.

Re: insert references in multipart document
You can try to insert a cross reference within the masterfile. Then LyX opens all included chapterfiles and updates its cross-reference-list. You'll have to do this only once. Then you should go to the chapterfile, where your cross-reference goes. The cross-reference-popup now contains all references of all included documents (at least since Version 1.1.4-something). thanks, this works fine (even with 1.0.3). Now I have only some labels defined. What happens, when I will have more? At the moment I cannot type the name of the references in. The field "Name" is not usable. Will it be possible when there are more labels defined or do I have to scroll through all the labels? Thanks, Torsten

Re: insert references in multipart document
in a multipart document I want to include a cross-reference to a label which is situated in another file. When I open Insert-CrossReference I cannot see the label and I cannot type the label name with the keyboard (despite there is a field, this action seems not to be supported). This works for me (2 files, one included in the other). I have one masterfile and then chapterfiles lot of included files. It is true, when I try to include the reference in the masterfile, then it works, but when I try to include from one chapter to another, then it fails, this list shows only the labels in the same file. I'm using 1.1.4fix3. By checking the Documents menu, I see that LyX is actually opening the included file for me whenever I make a request that needs the second file. If upgrading is an option for you, I'm guessing it would solve your problem. I have tried with 1.1.4fix1 and this is the same behavior as with 1.0.3. Another problem of course would be, that I have a lot of labels. To pick them up from a huge list would be horror. The best option for me would be, to simply type the name of the label in. Thanks, Torsten

Re: symbol R for real numbers
Try the following simple thing
Insert:
\usepackage{amsfonts}
in the latex preamble
then in the matheditor type:
\mathbb{R} or
\mathbb{N} or
\mathbb{C} or
\mathbb{Q} or
\mathbb{Z}
this works, however, the result is not the correct symbol for reel number R.
This is why I had a deeper look at dsfont.sty proposed here earlier.
This package produces the correct results.
The problem is, that I cannot install this package correctly, because I do not
have access to the latex installation.
So I could not do step 4 of the installation procedure.
4. Move the files to their destination.
The filesare and are needed by
*.tfmTeX font metric files TeX
*.fd font defintions TeX
*.stystyle files TeX
*.mf Metafont sourcesMetafont
So I copied the files to the directory where the lyx source is.
When I export to LATEX and call latex, then it works fine.
From LyX I get error messages:
MakeTeXTFM: 'mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; scrollmode; input dsrom10' failed to make
dsrom10.tfm.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.

* ...e:=ljfour; mag:=1; scrollmode; input dsrom8
Please type another input file name:

* ...e:=ljfour; mag:=1; scrollmode; input dsrom8
The problem seems to be, that LyX calls metafont automatically despite the
fonts are already there.
Any ideas how I could solve the problem?

*.mf Metafont sourcesMetafont
So I copied the files to the directory where the lyx source is.
When I export to LATEX and call latex, then it works fine.
>From LyX I get error messages:
MakeTeXTFM: 'mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; scrollmode; input dsrom10' failed to make
dsrom10.tfm.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
kpathsea: Running MakeTeXTFM dsrom8.tfm
MakeTeXTFM: Running mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; scrollmode; input dsrom8
This is METAFONT, Version 2.718 (C version 6.1)
kpathsea: Running MakeTeXMF dsrom8.mf
! I can't find file `dsrom8.mf'.
<*> ...e:=ljfour; mag:=1; scrollmode; input dsrom8
Please type another input file name:
! Emergency stop.
<*> ...e:=ljfour; mag:=1; scrollmode; input dsrom8
The problem seems to be, that LyX calls metafont automatically despite the
fonts are already there.
Any ideas how I could solve the problem?
Thanks,
Torsten
Re: symbol R for real numbers
>\usepackage{bbm} in the preamble,
I couldnt find this package.
I have only found sbbm.sty
>then you can use \mathbbm{R}, \mathbbm{N},
with sbbm.sty there is a command \mathbb{}, but when I use this with R
then I get a normal R and not with two lines at the left side (as I would
have expected)
Thanks,

symbol R for real numbers
Hallo,
how can I include the R for real numbers (and the N for integer numbers):
I want to write in math: x element of R
I have tried it with usepackage{amssymb} and then \Bbb{R}, but this
gives error messages when it comes to the table of contents.
Thanks,

Re: xfig figure with formula
At least, it works fine with lyx 1.0.4, when I input the figure (use Insert/Include File and check the input box) inside a figure float. There may be problems when the special text flag in Xfig is not set, or when a formula misses a $. If I do this, then it displays "file=filename.pstex" and thats it. Futhermore, figures should be in the proper directory. is there a special directory, where they should be? I don't know if it really can help you, I don't understand what you exactly tried. Maybe my explanation was not very clear: I have produced a figure with xfig 3.1 and called xfig with -specialtext flag. Then I have tried two things: 1. -insert-figure encapsulated postscript I have given filename.pstex_t Nothing is displayed on the screen and in xdvi When I take filename.pstex then I can see the figure, but the LaTeX code is not translated. It is only the information in the eps file. 2. -insert-file I have given filename.pstex_t It does not display anything in xdvi. Thanks, Torsten
Re: xfig figure with formula
Insert a \usepackage{epsfig} in your preamble (doesn't work without it here)
this was the problem, now with this it works, thanks for your help.
The disadvantage is, that I cannot see the figure anymore on the screen.
This is the thing I like most with LyX compared to other LaTeX editors.
Is there any other solution, where I can see the figures on the screen?
Thanks,
Torsten
Re: xfig figure with formula
Yes, use the other way round: import LyX formulas in xfig. interesting idea, thanks, Torsten

Re: Page numbers
I would like to install version 1.1.4. I have seen that there is a patch available which I have downloaded. How do I have to use this file patch-1.1.4fix1. I work on Solaris 2.7. I have tried the patch command, but nothing happened. Thanks, Torsten

chapters in included files
Hallo, I am writing a thesis and have included the chapters with the include-command. Version 1.0.3 supports this, but: - it does not display the chapters in the TOC (on the screen), - I cannot do spellcheck over the whole document. - Another problem is, that I cannot change the document style for all chapters now, so if I wanted to used another style, say amsbook instead of book, then I would have to change that in all files. Are there any solutions for these problems (maybe with later versions, but on the other hand this version runs very fine and stable). Thanks, Torsten

figure float at bottom
Hallo, how can I reach, that a figure float is preferrably put at the bottom of a page. With latex I can do that with [b]. Are there other possibilities, how to control the placement of figures (floats)? Thanks, Torsten

Re: BibTeX and LyX
is it possible to use bibtex efficiently together with LyX? Is this somewhere documented? it is very easy, ppen: Insert- ListsTOC - Bibtex references Then give in the name of the bibtex-file. Now you can include references in the text with Insert-Citation Reference. Torsten

Re: Comment environment
I am attempting to use the "comment paragraph environment" in LyX v1.0.3. I cannot find a menu pulldown for this feature. More importantly the M-p S-C key-sequence only gives a "Layout comment not known" error in the minibuffer. My documentclass is "Article (Revtex)". Does anybody know what problem/fix is? Maybe this doesnt help you, but with "book" it works fine. Torsten

marked text output
Currently I am using LyX to write my thesis and like it very much. Oone feature however, that I am missing very much in LyX is the clipboard to export text (import works well). The problem is, that normally we work with several programs (LyX of course, Framemaker, Powerpoint and other Windows programs we have to use, we do it with Wabi, normal Text Editors, ...) At the moment it is very hard, to get out some text quickly from LyX. O.k. I could output as text, and then search the lines I need, but in a hundred pages document? I have read, that this is an already known problem. Is there something planned? Maybe an easy to implement workaround could be, that marked text could be exported as text, or that it could be simply printed to stdout? Thanks, Torsten
