Indention of Quote paragraphs
In the memoir class the Quote paragraph is indented on both sides. Is there any way to remove indention from the right side? Lou
Sans Serif Font For Quote paragraphs
How can I change the fonts to sans serif (and change the font size) for the Quote and Quotation Paragraphs? At present in document/fonts I have the following settings: Default Family: Roman Roman : Latin Modern Roman Sans Serif: Latin Modern Sans Typewriter: Latin Modern Typewriter But sans serif fonts are not used at all. If I change Default Family to Sans Serif then only sans serif fonts are used. So I know the sans serif fonts are available. Lou PS I'm using the Memoir class, if perhaps that makes a difference.
Chapter Style
I've just learned how to use the Demo2 chapter style of the Memoir Class. However, I would like to make three changes: 1. Use a smaller font for the chapter number (like is shown in memoir-chapterstyles.pdf). 2. Use less space between the chapter number and the rule underneath it (like is shown in memoir-chapterstyles.pdf). 3. Center the chapter title (instead of having it flush right). Can someone tell me how to make these changes? Lou

0xfeff
I have a large Nota Bene word processor file which was edited by a friend (not sure with what program, but not Nota Bene). I exported this file from Nota Bene as a utf-8 text file, then imported it into Lyx as a Plain Text file, and edited it using Lyx. No problems up to this point. The problems began when I tried to view it as a pdf file. I get this error message: Could not find LaTeX command for character '' (code point 0xfeff). 0xfeff is the Unicode zero width non-break space character. I've not been able to find that character in the file even using Emacs hexl-mode. Any ideas about how to solve this?
Interesting facts about find and replace
In trying to find the character 0xfeff I've learned a few interesting things about Lyx's find and replace. ---At least in some cases 0xfeff is the opening quotation character for some word processors. ---When imported into Lyx this character is converted into code. For example these foreign quotation marks around the word simplicity look like this when opened in a text editor: \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset simplicity \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset So, unlike regular Lyx quotation marks, for these foreign quotation marks what is shown on screen and what is found in the source code in a Lyx file is completely different. ---The way I discovered this is that I noticed one of these foreign quotation marks in the Lyx file. It is smaller then the Lyx quotation marks. But when I copied that quotation character into the Lyx find window it failed to find the character in the file. INSTEAD Lyx converts the character into a normal Lyx quotation character and that is what is found. So, the Lyx find and replace feature is not useful in this situation---it would be very helpful if this were fixed! Therefore, I looked at the file using Emacs and discovered the above code. ---So, I decided to try to use the find and replace in Emacs. This also did not work because changing 0xfeff to globally messes up a bunch of boxes (probably 50 or more) which I placed in the file using Lyx. I have already edited the whole file (a book) in Lyx getting it into the proper format and trying to manually replace any foreign looking characters. Obviously, I have missed at least one (actually I know there are many) as the file still cannot be converted to pdf. I then tried to search through the file manually, but still failed as the situation proved to be even more complex than I thought, and more complex than I have time to explain right now. Lou

Prevent printing of footnotes
In a document with many footnotes, is there any easy way to turn off (prevent) the printing of the footnotes so that there is no trace of them in the printed document? Lou
personal LyX directory
Friends, I have finally got LyX installed on my Win2k machine, but when I start it up it asks me the following question: You don't have a personal LyX directory. It is needed to keep your own configuration. Should I try to set it up for you (recommended)? I click yes, but nothing happens. I tried going to Edit/Preferences/Inputs/Default path, but the information I enter there does not seem to help. Perhaps I need an example of how to enter the information? Louis
Printing problem.
Friends, I now have everything installed, but obviously not properly. When I click View/DVI I get the message: Can not view file: Error while execution windvi-paper us 'file.dvi' Windvi (SUPELEC 0.67.2) does open however, and displays the file beautifully. But when I try to print to paper the type is so big that only the upper left quarter of it fits on the page. How can I fix this? Louis
Greek and LaTeX2HTML
Hi everyone, I have recently successfully installed fpTeX, Cygwin-XFree86 and LyX on my Win2K machine thanks to help from several people. I am still not completely set up however. 1. I write English documents with long quotes in Greek and Hebrew. I cannot find any information on how to do this with LyX. Can someone provide links to the proper documentation? 2. I have not been successful in installing LaTex2HTML. I downloaded latex2html-2k.1beta.tar.gz, but the documentation that comes with it is rather unclear (perhaps because instructions for OS/2 are mixed in with the Windows instructions). Also, there seem to be files missing in the download. Can anyone guide me in the proper direction? 3. Are pre-compiled binaries of pybliographer or some other bibtex database manager available for Cygwin? If yes, can someone provide links to the proper web page. 4. Does anyone know of a textbase program that will interface with the Cygwin port of Lyx, something like Orbis on the Notabene word processor? Thanks, Louis
tth and lyx
Is there any way to interface tth with lyx so that tth shows up on the File/Export menu? Louis
BibTex
How do I tell lyx where my bib file is? Louis
Multi-Language on Cygwin Lyx
Is anyone out there set up to switch easily between English, Greek and Hebrew in the same document using lyx on a cygwin setup on win2k operating system? If so, would you please send me a copy of your lyxrc file by email attachment? Also, how do I install unicode fonts? If I do my work using unicode fonts, will I be able to convert them to pdf and html in the unusual way? Thanks, Louis
Another Bibtex Problem
Hi friends, Another newbie problem. I now have bibtex working so that I can enter citations. However, when I view the document, where the citation numbers should be there are only question marks, and the citations do not appear at the bottom of the page. How can I correct this? Louis
Book Class Modifications
How can I change the book class so that 1. quotes are in a different and smaller font, and are not right indented. 2. chapter headings are centered. Thanks, Louis
Can LyX do this?
Hi Lyx experts, I am seriously considering installing Lyx on my Windows 2000 machine to replace Notabene and Pagemaker, provided Lyx can do some things I need done which NB and PM cannot seem to do: 1. Brochures on legal size paper, landscape orientation, 8 snaking columns (4 on each side) with citations and footnotes at the bottom of each column, and headers above each column except the first one. 2. Turabian style manual, with extensive modifications of spacing, type styles, notes format, etc., for self-publishing of books. 3. Mixed Greek, Hebrew, and English text in most of the above mentioned documents. 4. Easy conversion of the above documents to PDF. 5. I want to be able to set up templates so that I can concentrate on writing instead of formatting. Is all this possible with Lyx? Is there perhaps a pdf document created from Lyx that would illustrate some pages like or similar to those described above? 6. Is MikTeX or fpTeX the best Win32 port of LaTeX? 7. Will XFree86 allow me to cut and paste between Lyx and Win32 programs? How does it compare to Starnet's XWin32 x-server? Many thanks for your time in answering. Sincerely, Louis
fpTeX install problem.
Hi everybody, I am trying to install fpTeX on my Win2k machine, so that I can run LyX. I have downloaded all the files. When I now try to run TeXSetup.exe I get the following error message: Error: Can't find the TPM directory. What is wrong, and how do I correct it? Thanks for your help? Louis
XFree86 configuration problem
Hi everyone, I'm trying to get my Win2K computer prepared to install lyx. I've just installed Cygwin and XFree86. All seemed to go well. However, when I run XFree86 I get the following message: --XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root. Then the XFree86 window comes up for a moment, then closes. How do I correct this? Louis
Bibtex with Cygwin Lyx
Hi lyxperts, I have bibtex set up so that I am able to insert citations into a file. However, when I view the file using dvi or postscript the citations are replaced by a question mark. I am using the plain.bst and book.bib files that came with fptex. What is wrong, and how do I fix it? (Yes, this is the same problem I was having before. I tried all the advice that was given, but the problem persists. Of course, it could be I didn't understand some of the advice.) Thanks, Louis
lyx unload problem
Hi lyx experts, I notice in Windows Task Manager on my Win2K machine running the Cygwin version of lyx that lyx.exe, lyx32.exe, and bash.exe do not unload themselves from memory when lyx is closed. Sometimes I have to manually remove 10 or more copies by hand. Is there any cure for this? Louis
Lyx and SUSE Linux
Hi, I am considering purchasing SUSE Linux 8.0 Professional when it come out this month. It is supposed to come with Lyx, and is supposed to be easy to install. Since I know very little about Linux, I am hoping that Lyx will work right off without a lot of configuring which I might not know how to do. Does anyone out there have experience with Lyx on SUSE Linux? Am I on the right track? Would some other version of Linux be better for running Lyx? Louis
Re: Lyx and SUSE Linux
Hi Kathryn, James, Roy, Ame, R. Josh, Herbert, Holger, Clodoaldo, ABe, Peter, and Andre, Many, many thanks for your comments about Lyx and SUSE Linux and Debian Linux. It sounds like you are all having good success with Lyx on both SUSE and Debian Linux. Now I have anther question, but I will start another thread for it. I very much appreciate all of you who have taken time to tell me your experience with Lyx on Linux. Louis
English, Greek, Hebrew, and Unicode.
Dear Lyx users, I am wanting to get set up to write books in the English language, but with some Greek and Hebrew mixed in with the English both in the main text and also in the footnotes. Can anyone advise me how to get set up for this? Is it possible and advisable to use unicode fonts? I was told some things on this list that lead me to believe that unicode fonts are the way to go, but I haven't been able to get set up properly on my Win2k machine. That is why I'm intending to install Linux and LyX on another computer. Also, am I correct in believing that each character in a unicode font is two bytes wide no matter what accent marks it may or may not have? Louis
