Cannot view file, Linux Mandrake 9.2
Hi all, a newcomer to the list here. I am using LyX to my satisfaction for quite some time. Recently I switched to Mandrake 9.2 from the 9.1 variant a here is what happened: it looks, that the user interface has been switched to QT (from xforms). When I tried to adjust all local settings I was disappointed, because I didn't succeed to read the Czech Tutorial (CS_tutorial) file coming with LyX in the Czech alphabet. I didn't find a place where I could adjust the font setting to ISO 8859-2 for both the user interface and for the document display. When I tried to view the pdf output of the Tutorial I saw the following message instead: LyX: Cannot view file No information for viewing PDF (pdflatex). I decided to download the 1.3.3 from the LyX site and compile/install it. For the user interface I have chosen the xforms and therefore I am able to see the contents of the CS_tutorial file in Czech properly, but the file viewing problem remains. Thanks for helping Ladislav
