Re: Accents in LyX/Mac
Hi Bennet, Hi Jens, thanks for sharing your workarounds ;-) I will try them as soon as I can. I don't have used multiple keyboards so far. Could you give me some clue (or even an cinfig file to have the possibility to use an alternative keybord? Hopefully that would work on my PC to.) Thanks in advance Hellmut I have come to rely on the mini-buffer method: mini-buffer, a, tab, select accent with arrow, enter, letter, enter. Cumbersome, but better than having ERT every other words (as when typing French) After Bennet mentioned that it works for the Dvorak keyboard layout, I tried several others and found that they work: e.g., if you want something like the US layout, you might want to switch to the British layout in the Mac's preferences - with that I have no problems entering accents and umlauts. The nice thing is that you can tell the Mac specifically to use British (e.g.) layout only in LyX, and use your standard layout (e.g., US) everywhere else. Before I became aware of this, I had defined two key map files in LyX, one of which had the accents bound to single key strokes. Then whenever I needed an accent, I switched to that second key map (with a shortcut key, of course), inserted the accented character, and switched back to the primary key map... kind of an ugly hack, so I'm glad Bennett led us to a different workaround. -- Dr. Hellmut Weber Degenfeldstraße 2, D - 80803 München-Schwabing tel (+49 89) 3081172, mobil (+49 172) 8450321 [EMAIL PROTECTED] --

Math font problem on windows 2000 using lyx 1.4.3-5
Hello, I just installed lyx1.4.3-5 (miktex 2.5) and when I type a formula with greek letters, wrong symbols appear. For example typing \sigma gives 3/4, \epsilon gives ², and so on... I installed latex-xft-fonts but the problem is still there. I previously used lyx1.4.3-svn (22th september 2006), and it worked fine. I guess it is a math font problem, but I cannot find a solution. Do you have any idea? -- Gilles
Persistent changes to the Spellchecker's dictionary
Hi! What can I do to make the changes (i.e. addition of words) to the spellchecker's dictionary persistent? While I am using the spellchecker and I add a new word to the dictionary, that word is recognized during the rest of the checking process. However, if I close and open again the spellchecker, the word that I added is no longer recognized (i.e. has not been saved into the dictionary). Cheers, Nicolás

page header does not appear on all pages
Hi,
I tried to add a header with image to a document based on the KOMA
report class. I followed the explanation in the FAQ:
http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Unsorted#toc66
and it works fine for one document, but in another document I have some
strange behavior. The header appears in some pages and then not in other
pages. I understand that it is automatically suppressed for the title
page and the table of content for example. But in my case it does not
appear in the regular chapters.
This is the preamble I am using for it:
\usepackage{graphicx}
\newsavebox{\mygraphic}
\savebox{\mygraphic}{\includegraphics{oc_logo} OpenCores}
\lhead{\usebox{\mygraphic}}
One thing I did different in the document is that I changed the page
numbering to Roman numbers for the beginning of the document and then
changed from the 1st chapter back to arabic numbering, setting the page
count back to 1.
I added the documents to this page: http://graf-danno.de/lyx/
Here is the link to the PDF document:
http://graf-danno.de/lyx/opencores.pdf
And here is the link to the respective LyX document:
http://graf-danno.de/lyx/opencores.lyx
I would appreciate any help about what I am doing wrong here.
I am using LyX 1.4.3 under Suse Linux.
Thanks in advance.

After that I downloaded the basic installer for Lyx 1.4 and had basically necessary components installed as indicated by the installer wizard, this included the current Miktex 2.5 that was used as the Latex base. Initially I could open Lyx but told me an output could not be generated. I also told me about missing classes which I don't know whether this should be installed using the Miktex package manager? Finally I tried to open some of the templates and which another class was missing and after that gave me a popup to indicate possible software error and that Lyx closed due to unexpected situation. Report was: LyXTextClassList::Read: no textclasses found! and since that I wasn't able to open Lyx again. Should I uninstall Lyx? Is it better to download more Miktex packages? Can you please help me to get going? I ask for your patience as I would like to test Lyx and use it instead of MS-Word for my thesis document. I'm not a software expert. Thanks very much! Wiehann The no textclasses found error usually means that textclass.lst is empty, and that can result from multiple causes. First question for Wiehann: Is everything installed on C:, and is your home directory on C:? (The installer gets cranky if your home is on a remote share.) Second question: is MikTeX's bin directory on your system command path? (I can't recall if the MikTeX installer puts it there automatically.) Assuming everything is on C: and MikTeX is on the command path, try the following. Open a DOS prompt and change to your home directory (should be something like C:\Documents and Settings\your login id). From there, run path to python\python.exe path to LyX\Resources\configure.py substituting the appropriate paths. If the configuration script runs successfully (and finds MikTeX), a file named textclass.lst should be created with a length greater than zero. After that, hopefully LyX will open. /Paul

Re: Using new fonts
shawn fitzgibbons wrote: I'd like to try some different fonts with LyX, but if I add them to the fonts directory (from my other Windows fonts directory), LyX doesn't know they are there. The LyX fonts directory is for display fonts (fonts LyX uses in the GUI), not for fonts in your printed document. The reason is that the output from LyX looks bad. I mean there is something wrong with the way the font looks in the DVI or ps file. No one concerned about typesetting a document would bother to use LyX if this problem could not be solved. What fonts are you using in your documents? I routinely use ae (or pslatex if I'm generating PDF output), and they look fine to me. Document-Settings...-Text Layout-Document Font-Font gives me eight fonts from which to choose. Doing a search online brings-up some obscure means of converting single font files and adding something to the Latex preamble, but there has to be an easier way. Pending the next release, if you want a font other than the ones listed in the settings dialog, I'm afraid you'll have to use ERT to load them. /Paul

Hi Hellmut, just to clarify: you don't need multiple _physical_ keyboards: all you need is to go to OS X System Preferences International Input Menu, and check a second keyboard there. I have checked US, British and German. You can also check Dvorak there (that would be most useful with a second physical keyboard, but if you only use this layout you can relatively easily pop out the keys of a laptop and rearrange them...). Then I checked Show in menu bar so I can see which keyboard layout is currently active. Finally check Allow different input method for each Application. That's all. Then you make sure you select (in the menu bar) the layout you want to use immediately (I use US layout mostly). When you turn on LyX, you go back to the menu and switch to British. From what I've observed so far, the keyboard choices you make in any given application stick from then on. No additional voodoo needed. Jens

Math font problem on windows 2000 using lyx 1.4.3-5
Hello, I just installed lyx1.4.3-5 (miktex 2.5) and when I type a formula with greek letters, wrong symbols appear. For example typing \sigma gives 3/4, \epsilon gives ², and so on... I installed latex-xft-fonts but the problem is still there. I previously used lyx1.4.3-svn (22th september 2006), and it worked fine. I guess it is a math font problem, but I cannot find a solution.

Persistent changes to the Spellchecker's dictionary

While I am using the spellchecker and I add a new word to the dictionary, that word is recognized during the rest of the checking process.

page header does not appear on all pages
Hi,
I tried to add a header with image to a document based on the KOMA
report class. I followed the explanation in the FAQ:
http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Unsorted#toc66
and it works fine for one document, but in another document I have some
strange behavior. The header appears in some pages and then not in other
pages. I understand that it is automatically suppressed for the title
page and the table of content for example. But in my case it does not
appear in the regular chapters.
This is the preamble I am using for it:
\usepackage{graphicx}
\newsavebox{\mygraphic}
\savebox{\mygraphic}{\includegraphics{oc_logo} OpenCores}
\lhead{\usebox{\mygraphic}}
One thing I did different in the document is that I changed the page
numbering to Roman numbers for the beginning of the document and then
changed from the 1st chapter back to arabic numbering, setting the page
count back to 1.
I added the documents to this page: http://graf-danno.de/lyx/
Here is the link to the PDF document:
http://graf-danno.de/lyx/opencores.pdf
And here is the link to the respective LyX document:
http://graf-danno.de/lyx/opencores.lyx
I would appreciate any help about what I am doing wrong here.
I am using LyX 1.4.3 under Suse Linux.
Thanks in advance.

After that I downloaded the basic installer for Lyx 1.4 and had basically necessary components installed as indicated by the installer wizard, this included the current Miktex 2.5 that was used as the Latex base. Initially I could open Lyx but told me an output could not be generated. I also told me about missing classes which I don't know whether this should be installed using the Miktex package manager? Finally I tried to open some of the templates and which another class was missing and after that gave me a popup to indicate possible software error and that Lyx closed due to unexpected situation. Report was: LyXTextClassList::Read: no textclasses found! and since that I wasn't able to open Lyx again. Should I uninstall Lyx? Is it better to download more Miktex packages? Can you please help me to get going? I ask for your patience as I would like to test Lyx and use it instead of MS-Word for my thesis document. I'm not a software expert. Thanks very much! Wiehann The no textclasses found error usually means that textclass.lst is empty, and that can result from multiple causes. First question for Wiehann: Is everything installed on C:, and is your home directory on C:? (The installer gets cranky if your home is on a remote share.) Second question: is MikTeX's bin directory on your system command path? (I can't recall if the MikTeX installer puts it there automatically.) Assuming everything is on C: and MikTeX is on the command path, try the following. Open a DOS prompt and change to your home directory (should be something like C:\Documents and Settings\your login id). From there, run path to python\python.exe path to LyX\Resources\configure.py substituting the appropriate paths. If the configuration script runs successfully (and finds MikTeX), a file named textclass.lst should be created with a length greater than zero. After that, hopefully LyX will open. /Paul

Re: Using new fonts
shawn fitzgibbons wrote: I'd like to try some different fonts with LyX, but if I add them to the fonts directory (from my other Windows fonts directory), LyX doesn't know they are there. The LyX fonts directory is for display fonts (fonts LyX uses in the GUI), not for fonts in your printed document. The reason is that the output from LyX looks bad. I mean there is something wrong with the way the font looks in the DVI or ps file. No one concerned about typesetting a document would bother to use LyX if this problem could not be solved. What fonts are you using in your documents? I routinely use ae (or pslatex if I'm generating PDF output), and they look fine to me. Document-Settings...-Text Layout-Document Font-Font gives me eight fonts from which to choose. Doing a search online brings-up some obscure means of converting single font files and adding something to the Latex preamble, but there has to be an easier way. Pending the next release, if you want a font other than the ones listed in the settings dialog, I'm afraid you'll have to use ERT to load them. /Paul

Cumbersome, but better than having ERT every other words (as when typing French) After Bennet mentioned that it works for the Dvorak keyboard layout, I tried several others and found that they work: e.g., if you want something like the US layout, you might want to switch to the British layout in the Mac's preferences - with that I have no problems entering accents and umlauts. The nice thing is that you can tell the Mac specifically to use British (e.g.) layout only in LyX, and use your standard layout (e.g., US) everywhere else. Before I became aware of this, I had defined two key map files in LyX, one of which had the accents bound to single key strokes. Then whenever I needed an accent, I switched to that second key map (with a shortcut key, of course), inserted the accented character, and switched back to the primary key map... kind of an ugly hack, so I'm glad Bennett led us to a different workaround. Hi Hellmut, just to clarify: you don't need multiple _physical_ keyboards: all you need is to go to OS X System Preferences International Input Menu, and check a second keyboard there. I have checked US, British and German. You can also check Dvorak there (that would be most useful with a second physical keyboard, but if you only use this layout you can relatively easily pop out the keys of a laptop and rearrange them...). Then I checked Show in menu bar so I can see which keyboard layout is currently active. Finally check Allow different input method for each Application. That's all. Then you make sure you select (in the menu bar) the layout you want to use immediately (I use US layout mostly). When you turn on LyX, you go back to the menu and switch to British. From what I've observed so far, the keyboard choices you make in any given application stick from then on. No additional voodoo needed. Jens

LyXTextClassList::Read: no textclasses found! (Windows)
Hi I'm having trouble starting LyX. It is probably something pretty simple to solve, but I just don't have a clue. I downloadet ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.3/lyx-143-5.exe And went through the installation. When starting LyX I get this error: LyXTextClassList::Read: no textclasses found!

page header does not appear on all pages
Hi,
I tried to add a header with image to a document based on the KOMA
report class. I followed the explanation in the FAQ:
http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Unsorted#toc66
and it works fine for one document, but in another document I have some
strange behavior. The header appears in some pages and then not in other
pages. I understand that it is automatically suppressed for the title
page and the table of content for example. But in my case it does not
appear in the regular chapters.
This is the preamble I am using for it:
\usepackage{graphicx}
\newsavebox{\mygraphic}
\savebox{\mygraphic}{\includegraphics{oc_logo} OpenCores}
\lhead{\usebox{\mygraphic}}
One thing I did different in the document is that I changed the page
numbering to Roman numbers for the beginning of the document and then
changed from the 1st chapter back to arabic numbering, setting the page
count back to 1.
I added the documents to this page: http://graf-danno.de/lyx/
Here is the link to the PDF document:
http://graf-danno.de/lyx/opencores.pdf
And here is the link to the respective LyX document:
http://graf-danno.de/lyx/opencores.lyx
I would appreciate any help about what I am doing wrong here.
I am using LyX 1.4.3 under Suse Linux.
Thanks in advance.

After that I downloaded the basic installer for Lyx 1.4 and had basically necessary components installed as indicated by the installer wizard, this included the current Miktex 2.5 that was used as the Latex base. Initially I could open Lyx but told me an output could not be generated. I also told me about missing classes which I don't know whether this should be installed using the Miktex package manager? Finally I tried to open some of the templates and which another class was missing and after that gave me a popup to indicate possible software error and that Lyx closed due to unexpected situation. Report was: LyXTextClassList::Read: no textclasses found! and since that I wasn't able to open Lyx again. Should I uninstall Lyx? Is it better to download more Miktex packages? Can you please help me to get going? I ask for your patience as I would like to test Lyx and use it instead of MS-Word for my thesis document. I'm not a software expert. Thanks very much! Wiehann The "no textclasses found" error usually means that textclass.lst is empty, and that can result from multiple causes. First question for Wiehann: Is everything installed on C:, and is your home directory on C:? (The installer gets cranky if your home is on a remote share.) Second question: is MikTeX's bin directory on your system command path? (I can't recall if the MikTeX installer puts it there automatically.) Assuming everything is on C: and MikTeX is on the command path, try the following. Open a DOS prompt and change to your home directory (should be something like C:\Documents and Settings\). From there, run \python.exe \Resources\configure.py substituting the appropriate paths. If the configuration script runs successfully (and finds MikTeX), a file named textclass.lst should be created with a length greater than zero. After that, hopefully LyX will open. /Paul

Re: Using new fonts
shawn fitzgibbons wrote: I'd like to try some different fonts with LyX, but if I add them to the fonts directory (from my other Windows fonts directory), LyX doesn't know they are there. The LyX fonts directory is for display fonts (fonts LyX uses in the GUI), not for fonts in your printed document. The reason is that the output from LyX looks bad. I mean there is something wrong with the way the font looks in the DVI or ps file. No one concerned about typesetting a document would bother to use LyX if this problem could not be solved. What fonts are you using in your documents? I routinely use ae (or pslatex if I'm generating PDF output), and they look fine to me. Document->Settings...->Text Layout->Document Font->Font gives me eight fonts from which to choose. Doing a search online brings-up some obscure means of converting single font files and adding something to the Latex preamble, but there has to be an easier way. Pending the next release, if you want a font other than the ones listed in the settings dialog, I'm afraid you'll have to use ERT to load them. /Paul

I previously used lyx1.4.3-svn (22th september 2006), and it worked fine. I guess it is a math font problem, but I cannot find a solution. Do you have any idea? I have the same problem on Win XP. Lyx 1.4.3-5 (and I think -4) installs display fonts in a directory under the LyX root, and then apparently installs them as Windows fonts, and the font files are screwed up. Fortunately, it's repairable. Start by deleting the fonts folder under LyX (probably not necessary, but I get a certain visceral satisfcation from doing it). Then download the bakoma4lyx fonts from the LyX wiki (ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/BaKoMa4LyX-1.1.zip). Unpack the archive in a temporary location (*not* the Windows font folder). Next, run the Windows font applet. Delete any fonts with the same names as the ones in the BaKoMa package. Then add the fonts from the temporary directory. Once they've been added, you can delete the temp directory. (I would keep the zip file, though, since you might upgrade to another LyX version that will reinstall the defective fonts.) HTH, /Paul

Thanks in advance Hellmut I have come to rely on the mini-buffer method: mini-buffer, a, tab, select accent with arrow, enter, letter, enter. Cumbersome, but better than having ERT every other words (as when typing French) After Bennet mentioned that it works for the Dvorak keyboard layout, I tried several others and found that they work: e.g., if you want something like the US layout, you might want to switch to the British layout in the Mac's preferences - with that I have no problems entering accents and umlauts. The nice thing is that you can tell the Mac specifically to use British (e.g.) layout only in LyX, and use your standard layout (e.g., US) everywhere else. Before I became aware of this, I had defined two key map files in LyX, one of which had the accents bound to single key strokes. Then whenever I needed an accent, I switched to that second key map (with a shortcut key, of course), inserted the accented character, and switched back to the primary key map... kind of an ugly hack, so I'm glad Bennett led us to a different workaround. Hi Hellmut, just to clarify: you don't need multiple _physical_ keyboards: all you need is to go to OS X System Preferences > International > Input Menu, and check a second keyboard there. I have checked US, British and German. You can also check Dvorak there (that would be most useful with a second physical keyboard, but if you only use this layout you can relatively easily pop out the keys of a laptop and rearrange them...). Then I checked "Show in menu bar" so I can see which keyboard layout is currently active. Finally check "Allow different input method for each Application". That's all. Then you make sure you select (in the menu bar) the layout you want to use immediately (I use US layout mostly). When you turn on LyX, you go back to the menu and switch to British. From what I've observed so far, the keyboard choices you make in any given application stick from then on. No additional voodoo needed. Jens

Changing to an Intel Mac lets Lyx forget settings -- any hints?
Hi, I've just got myself a new MacBook Pro, which feautures the Intel Core 2 CPUs. I had a PPC Mac before and transfered all data using the Apple standard feature, i.e. connecting both machines with a firewire cable during setup of the new machine and voila!, everything's there. Both machines had OS X 10.4.8 installed. Now there's something weird about Lyx. I updated to the version for Intel-Macs, but Lyx has forgot about all the settings. It doesn't find a single viewer, nor a single document class -- they're all marked as "unavailable" in the Document Settings dialogue. It does remember my documents, though. I'm a little confused about this and don't know what to do. Do I have to reinstall TeX? Any hints would be highly appreciated. Thanks, Christian

As far as I know, Apple's transfer program looks at standard Mac directories only -- such as /Users and /Applications. Since TeX gets installed elsewhere, it gets ignored. That means you'll probably want to run the LyX installer again on your new machine -- after you've installed TeX on it. Bennett
