It seems that you mixed up the directories for LyXWin 1.3.5 and LyXWin 
1.3.6pre.



I also found an empty layout directory at :
C:\Documents and Settings\Laptop\.lyx\layouts and put Beamer.layout there 
too.


The .lyx directory is not used by LyXWin1.3.6pre. You should copy the 
layout to C:\Documents and Settings and then to the folder lyx which 
should be in the folder Application Data (or similar name).

And don't forget to reconfigure LyX after this.

You are absolutely right. I got the right directory and its fine now. Thanks

  In the Users Guide is a paragraph about adding an Appendix (or more than

This puts a red/brown box around the appendix. And, all this works for me.

environment, that section title is shown as ?.1. The ToC reflects the same
lack of information.

  Nothing on the wiki for appendices -- at least, not that I found -- and

Angus,

  Well, I got it to work by selecting multiple files rather than single
file, uploading a .pdf as well as the .tex file, then deleting the former.
Shrug.

Done,

Rich

Re: Exporting to PDF

[Luiz Lopes Souza]

Another solution, one that keeps the T1 encoding, is listed at
http://mechatronics2004.newcastle.edu.au/mech2004/submission_format.htm#fonts

LLS

Hi,

in the Preferences dialog box, tab Outputs/LaTeX, try removing T1 from
the field TeX encoding. It did take care of my problems. This may not
be an optimal solution but it did work for me. The reasons for this are
explained in the document Extended Features accessible from Help menu.
Look for chapter Exporting Other Formats subsection PDF.

Good luck,

D.

I tried to read this, seems to be a bit complicated. All what i need - just
export the PDF, which will look good in Windows. Is there easy and quick

Shrug. Why don't you try the suggestions I've given you already? Go grab
the lmodern package and add this to your preamble:

\usepackage{lmodern}

I did, but that don't help much - the PDF looks less crappy, but the
fonts are still fuzzed :(

It seems that you mixed up the directories for LyXWin 1.3.5 and LyXWin 
1.3.6pre.



I also found an empty layout directory at :
C:\Documents and Settings\Laptop\.lyx\layouts and put Beamer.layout there 
too.


The ".lyx" directory is not used by LyXWin1.3.6pre. You should copy the 
layout to "C:\Documents and Settings" and then to the folder "lyx" which 
should be in the folder "Application Data" (or similar name).

And don't forget to reconfigure LyX after this.

You are absolutely right. I got the right directory and its fine now. Thanks 
for the advice and the help.

Googling on "pdf latex" brings up this page which talks about using true
type fonts with pdflatex.

Then complain to the packager of your beamer package: LyX layout files are 
useless n the texmf tree. Debian got it right and installs the beamer 
layout files in /usr/share/lyx/lib/layout, so it should not be too hard 
for other distributions to do the same.

Being fair to the packager of my beamer package, I unstalled beamer myself
from latex-beamer.sf.net. That's why it's in /usr/local/share...

Being even fairer to myself, I made a symbolic link from
$HOME/.lyx-1.3.x/layouts/beamer.layout to this magic layout file.

Sorry, I overread the "local" bit. I certainly did not want to offend

A description such as "crappy" isn't helping any. Maybe a sample

Hmm, actually seems so. I had to add the TTF fonts to the LaTeX. I did it
somehow, not sure - now LyX exports pretty nice PDF files with pdflatex.
Something like shaman dancing with bubo, which fixed the things =)

Uploading file to wiki

[Rich Shepard]

  I read the instructions to create a title and brief description, then
logged in to upload a file to the "Examples" section. However, when I try to
"open directory" I am shown a page telling me I don't have permission to open
this directory.

  Obviously, I've missed a step. A clue would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rich

Lettering Appendices

[Rich Shepard]

  In the "Users Guide" is a paragraph about adding an Appendix (or more than
one). It says to type the title, select "Chapter" as the environment, then
access Layout->Start Appendix Here with the cursor at the front of the title.
This puts a red/brown box around the appendix. And, all this works for me.
But, there's no leading "Appendix A". When I insert a file under a section
environment, that section title is shown as "?.1". The ToC reflects the same
lack of information.

  Nothing on the wiki for appendices -- at least, not that I found -- and
Herbert has a .tex file on the Tips & Tricks pages. Do I modify the preamble
of my document with the appropriate parts of the appendix0.tex file to get
this working?

  Matej provided an answer on this list at the end of February, but it looks
to me that what he recommends is what I've done: Start a Chapter (or
Section), then invoke Layout->Start Appendix Here.

  Again, I'm missing a simple step and would appreciate a clue.

TIA,

Rich
