Re: Math Symbols

[Gordon Cooper]

Hello Anders, (also Guenter and Chris)

 The platform is Mx-Linux using Lyx 2.1.3.  Mx
is based upon Debian.  Am actually
working on a 100+ page user manual for Mx, being written in Lyx. Koma
script and published in
 html and pdf.
 
  (Refer the Lyx Users post from Jerry Bond on 25 February about
html id tag)

We are working in text mode typing in the   from the keyboard.
These are used in
 command sequences, a Lyx example could be :  DocumentSettings Text
Layout. These
are correct in the lyx file but converting to pdf gives the wrong
symbols.  Have tried inserting
  from Lyx Insert Special CharacterSymbols, but the same errors
happen in pdf.

Other tests so far.  The same pdf reader - Okular - used for all tests.

1.  Output from the Lyx to .odt format  gave the same errors.

2. Working in Kubuntu 14.04  which uses Lyx 2.0.6  theare correct
in pdf.

3.  The | symbol also converts an error, gives a long dash. The quote symbol
sometimes gives an error but inserting from the Symbols menu is
correct.

Edit: Have just read Guenter's post.  Not sure about the OT1 font
encoding, will
follow that up.

My apology for the delay in reply, blame it on the world time zones.

Thanks,

Is this in maths mode or in text.

If in text, maybe you are using the obsolete OT1 font encoding, that has
different symbols at the place of  and  (except for teletype fonts).

A *minimal* example would help finding the problem.

Greetings.

The great list of Lyx symbols has a couple of omissions.
 and  the basic 'less than' and 'greater than' symbols. These
shapes do appear in the Latin list, but do not convert when a
pdf output is sought.

The Maths symbols do contain symbols for not less than,
less than or equal to, and their greater than equivalents,
but the two simple symbols using straight lines in the arrow
heads are missing.

Yes, there are alternatives using curved lines in the arrows, but
these do not convert very well to pdf.

 Now I looked for the latex-ttf-fonts on ftp://ftp.lyx.org/ and with
 rpmfind, but didn't found it.
 

Could you possibly be using a non-english locale? If so try setting LANG and/or
LC_TIME to an english locale (en_US for example). I have the problem with a
hebrew locale at the moment. With  LANG set to he_IL I get letters instead of
most math symbols. If I set it to en_US or LC_TIME to en_US the problem goes
away (very strange that LC_TIME affects it but ...).

When I reported the bug for the debian package the maintainer reported the same
problem with lyx-qt and said that LC_TIME doesn't solve it for lyx-xforms, LANG
has to be set to an english locale instead.

 Thank you for any hint -

 Could you possibly be using a non-english locale? If so try setting LANG 
 and/or
 LC_TIME to an english locale (en_US for example). I have the problem with a
 hebrew locale at the moment. With  LANG set to he_IL I get letters instead of
 most math symbols. If I set it to en_US or LC_TIME to en_US the problem goes
 away (very strange that LC_TIME affects it but ...).

Hallo Micha,
thank you for your suggestion - but with my installation
  LANG=en_US
  LC_TIME=en_US
does not bring back the lost math-symbols :-(

 The latex-xft-fonts are installed and worked Ok with LyX-1.3.5-qt before
 the update.
 
 Now I looked for the latex-ttf-fonts on ftp://ftp.lyx.org/ and with
 rpmfind, but didn't found it.

When I reported the bug for the debian package the maintainer reported the same
problem with lyx-qt and said that LC_TIME doesn't solve it for lyx-xforms, LANG
has to be set to an english locale instead.

 Thank you for any hint -

 I'm running Mandrake 10.0, kernel 2.6.3mdk with Lyx version 1.3.4 compiled
 from source. I tried using the rpm, and the newer version, 1.3.5 of lyx, but
 both had other issues. My system uses libXpm version 4.11 and libforms version
 1.0.0. The command ldd `which lyx` | grep fontconfig gives no response.
 When I try opening a file with math symbols, I get the following errors.

Try:

urpmi fonts-ttf-latex

I tried urpmi fonts-ttf-latex, and the reply was Everything already

Andy,

Now, I am running Mandrake 10.1 Official Edition, but, before, LyX ran
very well on Mandrake 10.

I suggest you to uninstall your LyX and install the LyX 1.3.5 rpm for
Mandrake 10, available at LyX site. That rpm works perfectly on
Mandrake 10.

Angus,
  I'll go look at that later today. Just grabbing those fonts and putting
copies in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf and ../TrueType did the job. FWIW,
I've no idea how I ended up with some TT fonts in one directory and the rest
in another. But, since I don't want to spend the time trying to figure out
what application is looking where, I just leave them as is.
  Many thanks. I'm going back in my hole to finish my book now.
Thanks,
Rich

Rich,

It seems (almost sure) that you need to install the latex-xft-fonts
package. You can download the source of it from

http://movementarian.org/latex-xft-fonts-0.1.tar.gz

You may also be able to find somewhere the binary of latex-xft-fonts
for your Linux distribution.

There are some issues with the Qt port to Windows.  Certain symbols 
don't display correctly at certain resolutions, and I think the right 
arrow is one of them.  You can play around with Edit - Preferences - 
Screen fonts - Zoom % and maybe get them to display.

Alternatively (and depending on how fast your processor is), you can 
turn on instant preview (Edit - Preferences - Graphics - Instant 
preview), which will render your formulas as DVI output in the LyX 
window, on the fly.  There's help for getting instant preview to work 
with XP on the LyX Wiki 
(http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/InstantPreview).  You may need to 
install some more software.

Many thanks for this.  I tried the Instant Preview, but can't see that 
anything is changed by it.

I tried Lyx because I was looking for a tool for documenting a package 
and wanted to inlude some math in the document,  I just about have the 
math part done, after too much playing around.  I'm hoping that the rest 
will be smoother sailing.

I have learned a little LaTeX, which I didn't really wish to.  Overall, 
in spite of the help from people on the list, I get the feeling that LyX 
is a great tool which is not quite ready for prime time.

Thanks again.

lyx-1.3.1-1rh8-qt.i386.rpm with
  rpm -Uvh lyx-1.3.1-1rh8-qt.i386.rpm
The math symbols were displayed as LaTeX words. Then I installed
latex-ttf-fonts-0.1-1.noarch.rpm from
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/  with
   rpm -Uvh latex-ttf-fonts-0.1-1.noarch.rpm

Re: math symbols are displayed as text

[Stephen Gregory]

I have the same problem with lyx-1.3.1-1rh8-qt.i386.rpm as Johan Marc and
although I wouldn't know where to find latex-ttf-fonts or where to install
them if I did, I think we are talking about display fonts here and I can't
find anything wrong with those. Unfortunately I can't compare with the
result from building 1.3.1 from sources because that fails in so many ways
that I can't even begin to describe them all. (However, several have
appeared on this list and seem to be known issues with qt which are not
resolved.)

I bet the lyx-1.3.1-1rh8-qt.i386.rpm problem is not a big deal and
somebody can tell me how to fix up the display fonts.
