[OT] 10 questions for the users of LyX (for my thesis)
Dear LyX-users, I post this message because I'm writing a thesis in economics about Open Source and LyX. I want to make you some simple questions. The goal is to know something about the users of an Open Source software, like LyX. You are LyX users, so tell me something about you and LyX from the view of an user. I hope you can help me and all those people who want to know more about Open Source. Now the 10 questions PLEASE: do NOT reply to the list, but only to me: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (if you want, you can answer in german, french or italian too) 1) your profession (i.e. student in physics, professor in economics, engineer of NASA, ...) 2) When did you hear the first time about LyX? 3) How did you hear about LyX? (i.e. using LaTeX, reading a Linux-Magazine, searching in the web, a friend of you, a teacher, founded in a Linux-distro, ...) 4) What do you do with LyX? ( i.e. Writing many formula, writing documentation with graphics, only as wordprocessor,..., for a master thesis, for the internal documentation of your enterprise, for...) 5) which is for you an alternative to LyX? (any editor with latex-syntax-highlighting, MS-Word, Abiword, Kword, MathSpad, Scientific Word, ...) 6) why is it an alternative? 7) Why do you prefer LyX? (because you prefer LyX, isn't it?! :-) (i.e. because it is Open source? because it's free [like beer]? because it is the best formel-editor? because on Linux it's the best wysiwyg/m word/document-processor? because for long documents it is always better then the damned xy? because ...) 8) which release of LyX are you using? the english vesion or a translated version? 9) where do you found helps about LyX? (the documentation, the users-list, Voss's pages, latex-newsgroups) often? one time par day? one time par week? one time in your life? 10) Are someone who makes little seminars/courses/presentations in your school, university, enterprise? That's all folks. give me your answer! (on english, german, french, italian) PLEASE: do NOT reply to the list, but only to me: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for your time ciao antonio gulino PS: if you don't like hear about the results, let me know!

I would try texconfig and set RW on /var/lib/texmf/fonts (there is a special command for it in texconfig menus) and then check whether users are allowed to read ls-lR files (one should be in the root of all of your $TEXMF trees; for my RedHat these are in /usr/share/texmf/, /usr/local/share/texmf/, /var/lib/texmf/ ). And of course, running texhash would not make any harm. Matej Thanks for your help, it is ok now for this point. I need to get use with lyx-1.1.6 and Debian ;-) Gerard.

users and lyx
Hello, lyx run all right when I am as root, but when I am as user, when I am wieving and saving a file I get error and : "Font T 1/cmr/m/n/14.4=ecrm 1440 at 14.4 pt no loadable : Metric: (TFM) file not found. /fontencoding/endcodingdefault/selectfont. Y wan't able to read the size data forthis font." What must Ido to change for that lyx works fine with users ? Thanks in advance for your help. Gerard.
