Changing default font of equations

[Martin Vonwald]

I use ps2pdf to create pdf documents. It works very well (especially
with the ps2pdf from gs6.0) except for the font of the equations, for
which I get a pixelated type 3 font in the resulting pdf-file. I set the
default font to times but that doesn't affect the equations.
Does anybody know how to chance the default font of the equations so
that ps2pdf creates type 1 fonts? I know about pdflatex but I'm just to
lazy to keep all my images in two formats (eps for latex and gif for
pdflatex) - or did I miss something and pdflatex can now handle eps
images too?

Thanks for any reply,
Martin

Take a look at chapter 6 (I think) of the Customization manual.  You'll
need to create a .layout file.  With a bit of luck it won't be too hard.
Read the chapter through twice then contact the list with more questions.

In your preamble add:
\usepackage{pslatex}

this fixes everything to use type 1 fonts from the default 35 fonts
(IIRC).  Alternaively there is a similar package specifically for the
math fonts:

\usepackage{mathptm}

Thanks for your answer!
If I use \usepackage{pslatex} it will display perfect in KGhostView,
gives me an error message about a missing font (symbol) in Acrobat
Reader for Linux, it shows me the doc but some characters are missing
and in AR for Windows it won't open at all.
If I use \usepackage{mathptm} it displays perfect again in KGhostView,
same problems as above in AR for Linux and nearly perfect in AR for
Windows - only brackets, integral/root signs are pixelated.
I think I can live with that - many thanks and (little bit late): Happy

No Type 1 fonts for dvips

[Daniel Andrade]

Hi, people!

I started to use LyX some days ago and I became completely addicted to
the TeX way of life! :)
But I have a little problem that is annoying me: I cannot produce a
quality PostScript document.
I know that many people have this problem (i found some pages on the Net
about it) but I could not manage to make things work for me. Every time I
use dvips, EXCEPT when I use "times" as the font for my entire document, I
get a poor quality (Font Type 3) output.
I´ve read about psfonts.map and gave a look at it... The file came with
the Slackware Linux 7.0 distribution of TeTex (but I have RedHat installed)
and everything looks fine. But I cannot produce quality output with ANY font
except " times" .
How do I configure dvips/Lyx/LaTex to make it use the Type 1 fonts
(there are MANY installed in my machine, including the ones that came with
TeTex) for the other fonts LyX supports? I think the psfonts.map is fine
but, for some reason, dvips cannot find the other Type 1 fonts (they are
located in the directories used in the TeTex distribution). Maybe I have to
put them in a single directory??
Well, I don´t know!! :) Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot!

Daniel Andrade.

RH6.2 can't get lyx to install

[Steve Salazar]

I'm using RH6.2 and I can't get lyx to install.  I've tried 2 different
rpm distributions and the tarball.  I each case, in the configure script I
get errors regarding not finding libforms or libxforms, but I DO have
xforms installed.  In the INSTALL file they mention this problem and using
the switch '--with-extra-lib'. Since I know exactly where the lib file is,
I tried this:

./configure --with-extra-lib '/usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so.0.88'

and

./configure --with-extra-lib /usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so.0.88

and

./configure --with-extra-lib "/usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so.0.88"

I then got the inexplicable error:

ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use '--no-verify'
Try 'ltconfig --help' for more information
configure: error: libtool configure failed

I tried 'ltconfig --help' and that returned 'command not found'

Any suggestions would be really helpful.

Thank you.

Take a look at chapter 6 (I think) of the Customization manual.  You'll
need to create a .layout file.  With a bit of luck it won't be too hard.
Read the chapter through twice then contact the list with more questions.

Cheers, and happy Easter.

In your preamble add:
\usepackage{pslatex}

this fixes everything to use type 1 fonts from the default 35 fonts
(IIRC).  Alternaively there is a similar package specifically for the
math fonts:

\usepackage{mathptm}

Thanks for your answer!
If I use \usepackage{pslatex} it will display perfect in KGhostView,
gives me an error message about a missing font (symbol) in Acrobat
Reader for Linux, it shows me the doc but some characters are missing
and in AR for Windows it won't open at all.
If I use \usepackage{mathptm} it displays perfect again in KGhostView,
same problems as above in AR for Linux and nearly perfect in AR for
Windows - only brackets, integral/root signs are pixelated.
I think I can live with that - many thanks and (little bit late): Happy
Easter!

No Type 1 fonts for dvips

[Daniel Andrade]

Hi, people!

I started to use LyX some days ago and I became completely addicted to
the TeX way of life! :)
But I have a little problem that is annoying me: I cannot produce a
quality PostScript document.
I know that many people have this problem (i found some pages on the Net
about it) but I could not manage to make things work for me. Every time I
use dvips, EXCEPT when I use "times" as the font for my entire document, I
get a poor quality (Font Type 3) output.
I´ve read about psfonts.map and gave a look at it... The file came with
the Slackware Linux 7.0 distribution of TeTex (but I have RedHat installed)
and everything looks fine. But I cannot produce quality output with ANY font
except " times" .
How do I configure dvips/Lyx/LaTex to make it use the Type 1 fonts
(there are MANY installed in my machine, including the ones that came with
TeTex) for the other fonts LyX supports? I think the psfonts.map is fine
but, for some reason, dvips cannot find the other Type 1 fonts (they are
located in the directories used in the TeTex distribution). Maybe I have to
put them in a single directory??
Well, I don´t know!! :) Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot!

Daniel Andrade.

have a look at  /etc/texmf/config.ps    (this is the Linux-place for 
config.ps)
for  lines
p psfonts.map
p +psnfss.map

there are good comments in this config file.

  Glad to hear that.

  Next version will support different distributions, including the distributions
that come with suse or red hat. The same applies to debian, but I'm not sure here,
even if it doesn't apply is easier to add.

No.  I went back to sgml-tools and LinuxDoc and that has verbatim.  Much
happier - I really don't like the look of DocBook product.

Those of you who think you know everything are annoying to those of us who

RH6.2 can't get lyx to install

[Steve Salazar]

I'm using RH6.2 and I can't get lyx to install.  I've tried 2 different
rpm distributions and the tarball.  I each case, in the configure script I
get errors regarding not finding libforms or libxforms, but I DO have
xforms installed.  In the INSTALL file they mention this problem and using
the switch '--with-extra-lib'. Since I know exactly where the lib file is,
I tried this:

./configure --with-extra-lib '/usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so.0.88'

and

./configure --with-extra-lib /usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so.0.88

and

./configure --with-extra-lib "/usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so.0.88"

I then got the inexplicable error:

ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use '--no-verify'
Try 'ltconfig --help' for more information
configure: error: libtool configure failed

I tried 'ltconfig --help' and that returned 'command not found'

Any suggestions would be really helpful.

Thank you.

Try installing the xforms RPM and then the lyx RPM.

The RPMs are in ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx
