Re: eps font substitution
On 18.11.07, Alexander Sklar wrote: Does anyone know if it is possible to change the font used in a eps figure to match the font used in the document ? I use the psfrag LaTeX package for this. Actually, it replaces not the font but text, i.e. you have to re-define all the text strings in ERT commands: - more work, - it works only for simple text strings (all in one font), + you can alter the text labels without need to re-generate the eps, - you can use simple placeholder strings in the eps, + you can use all of LaTeX, (I need math for formulas or symbols heavily), - the replacement might need less or more space. Documentation is in ...psfrag/pfgguide.pdf.
Graphics problem
Hi I am using Lyx 1.5.2. My problem is that when I compile in Linux (Ubuntu 7.10) the eps graphics cower a whole page (Yes even when I try to rescale). But this problem does not appear when the document is compiled in mac os X ore win Vista. Does anyone know if I am missing a package lib ore something in my Linux box? Thanks Örn

Hyphenationpriblem with '-'
Hello,
I have following problem: I have words like 'IGI-2' and want LaTeX not
to hyphenate it. In German texts this is possible with 'IGI~2' which
results in 'IGI-2'.
I also tried to define a hyphenation with \hyphenation{word}, but of
course this command uses '-' to define where to hyphenate and gets
confused with these kind of words.
Maybe a \newcommand with \mbox or something similar could help? But I am
not sure about how to do so.
any suggestions?
Thanks,
Helmut

compare book classes
Does anyone know of a chart or webpage that quickly compares book classes? I have used koma scrbook a lot. I recently started trying Memoir and also just the Book classes and see that have different features (like no subject/subtitle on first page).

[CfH] Reproduce problem with russian and spell check in Lyx on Linux
Hi, as some of you might have noticed I'm one of the guys working on the LyX Debian packages and ATM I try to clear our to bugtracker so that we can submit the valid bugs to our beloved LyX developers. Since I'm not getting any feedback from the submitter of a bug related to russian spell checking I'd like to kindly ask if we've someone here who speaks russian to maybe reproduce the bug. The orginal bugreport is fairly short [1]: Subject: lyx: fails to check russian word with yo If using lyx, russian locate, aspell, word with lerret yo (ё) don't right check. The word to be not completed ligth, and verify part until and after yo It's been reported against LyX 1.4.2 so I've some hope that it could be fixed with the utf8 support in LyX 1.5.x but I don't really understand what the reporter means and I've no russian enviroment to test it. So it would be great if someone could maybe reproduce the bug or confirm that it's gone with 1.5.x on Linux (idealy Debian but any other distribution should be fine too).

Hi Jeremy, This is not exactly responsive to your question but on the subject of choosing a book document class I have a strong opinion: Namely, one should never consider frontmatter needs in picking a document class. My opinion is that every frontmatter is a one-off affair, with lots of different things that should be individually laid out, and as such, the frontmatter should be constructed by hand coded ERT and custom environments. My opinion is that your decision as to which class should be determined based on the benefits to you in the mainmatter and maybe backmatter. Those places (especially the mainmatter) are where you need styles based consistency, and therefore it's those places that the right document class (and the right packages) can do you the most good.

Reconfigure oddity
I have recently updated my little Zaurus 3100 to a new version of debian (armel), so re-installed LyX. I wanted to make sure it had access to everything it really needed, so I ran reconfigure. I have the debian-sid lyx-1.5.2-1 package installed. I tried to compile lyx on the machine, but it is a long, slow process with the limited memory I have available. Sometimes it will crash in mid-compile of some of the larger object files, so make has to be re-started often. However, the debian package works fine. The output of the command is stored in a LyX file, but my LyX could not read it. That file claims to be lyxformat 2.15, for LyX 0.11. Current Lyx 1.5.2 uses lyxformat 276. The file is not readable, and my LyX could not convert it to readable format. My usual trick, simply changing the format number, also does not work. It seems that my machine is configured adequately, but maybe it would be time to update this output format. I just checked on my desktop machine and it, also, produces the same old lyx format from reconfigure. On that machine (debian lenny, amd64 machine) I compiled lyx-1.5.2 myself. -- David L.

Re: [CfH] Reproduce problem with russian and spell check in Lyx on Linux
There are a few contexts where ё has to be used to disambiguate certain words (e.g., все/всё), just as there are some contexts where Russian texts mark stress, which is otherwise basically unpredictable but not indicated orthographically (e.g., большáя часть 'a large part'-бóльшая часть 'a larger part'). Usually, only texts for non-native readers indicate stress and the e/ё distinction consistently. I can't speak to the spellchecking issue with any authority, but I'd imagine that anyone who wants a Russian spellchecker in the first place would probably want it to work correctly on words with ё.

Bibliography / General questions
Hi, I'm new to LaTeX / LyX / BibTeX and I'm really having some trouble. I've been searching forums and mailing lists for ages now but I can't get my bibliography and citations to work. What I want is: A) Footnote citation à la: Dr. iur. et dipl. chem. James X. Y. Bond: This is a really, really, really long title containing commas and quotation marks, 2007 - (http://path/to/document.pdf) - Pages 5, 8f, 24ff 294 So there should be: 1. The full listing of prefixes 2. The fully written surname, then initials for the middle names and then the last name 3. : 4. The book title which might contain special characters like commas, quatation marks or brackets 5. , 6. Year 7. - 8. An url in (brackets) 9. - 10. The Page numbers, the first pages seperated by commas, the last one with by a B) The bibliography entries looking the same but without page numbers. I use JabRef to create the .bib (usually choosing MISC because of the url problem) and I made a custom .bst with latex. But I can't even get the bibliography to show up with the simple jurabib entry in the preamble and the jox style, or the standart bibliopgraphy and the plain style. I can't get it to work at all. I get all kind of error combinations depending on what I try to use. I read all the HOW-TOs and that stuff but it just won't work, I don't see what I'm doing wrong, and I don't even understand why jurabib provides Author, year citation when I could do that with a .bst file. I don't understand this concept at all. I tried all kind of stuff but nothing works. Could someone please explain to me what I have to do to get this kind of citation?

I get all kind of error combinations depending on what I try to use. It seems to me we should take this slowly. The first thing to do is to get standard bibliographies working. Then we can try the more complex stuff. The way to debug this problem is to create a simple file, with essentially nothing but a couple sentences and a couple citations, and then to add a bibliography. Use the plain style at first. Now, export this file to LaTeX and open a terminal (you didn't say what your OS is) so you can manually do this: latex myfile.tex bibtex myfile latex myfile.tex latex myfile.tex You may get some error messages there. If so, we'll need to know at which stages, and what they were. You'll get warnings the first LaTeX run about undefined citations, but that is normal. The real questions are: Does that run produce a file myfile.aux? If so, does it look like it makes sense? Does the BibTeX run succeed? or does it produce errors? I use JabRef to create the .bib (usually choosing MISC because of the url problem) You don't really need to do this. The other types of entries will accept the URL field, and if you're creating a custom bst then you can do with it as you wish. and I made a custom .bst with latex. You are a brave man, then. But I can't even get the bibliography to show up with the simple jurabib entry in the preamble and the jox style, or the standart bibliopgraphy and the plain style. I can't get it to work at all.

Re: eps font substitution
On 18.11.07, Alexander Sklar wrote: Does anyone know if it is possible to change the font used in a eps figure to match the font used in the document ? I use the psfrag LaTeX package for this. Actually, it replaces not the font but text, i.e. you have to re-define all the text strings in ERT commands: - more work, - it works only for simple text strings (all in one font), + you can alter the text labels without need to re-generate the eps, - you can use simple placeholder strings in the eps, + you can use all of LaTeX, (I need math for formulas or symbols heavily), - the replacement might need less or more space. Documentation is in ...psfrag/pfgguide.pdf.
Graphics problem
Hi I am using Lyx 1.5.2. My problem is that when I compile in Linux (Ubuntu 7.10) the eps graphics cower a whole page (Yes even when I try to rescale). But this problem does not appear when the document is compiled in mac os X ore win Vista. Does anyone know if I am missing a package lib ore something in my Linux box? Thanks Örn

Hyphenationpriblem with '-'
Hello,
I have following problem: I have words like 'IGI-2' and want LaTeX not
to hyphenate it. In German texts this is possible with 'IGI~2' which
results in 'IGI-2'.
I also tried to define a hyphenation with \hyphenation{word}, but of
course this command uses '-' to define where to hyphenate and gets
confused with these kind of words.
Maybe a \newcommand with \mbox or something similar could help? But I am
not sure about how to do so.
any suggestions?
Thanks,
Helmut

compare book classes
Does anyone know of a chart or webpage that quickly compares book classes? I have used koma scrbook a lot. I recently started trying Memoir and also just the Book classes and see that have different features (like no subject/subtitle on first page). Does anyone of have a quick comparison reference of the different book classes? If not, what do you prefer and why? Maybe the answers could be summarized on a wiki page. Jeremy C. Reed
[CfH] Reproduce problem with russian and spell check in Lyx on Linux
Hi, as some of you might have noticed I'm one of the guys working on the LyX Debian packages and ATM I try to clear our to bugtracker so that we can submit the valid bugs to our beloved LyX developers. Since I'm not getting any feedback from the submitter of a bug related to russian spell checking I'd like to kindly ask if we've someone here who speaks russian to maybe reproduce the bug. The orginal bugreport is fairly short [1]: Subject: lyx: fails to check russian word with yo If using lyx, russian locate, aspell, word with lerret yo (ё) don't right check. The word to be not completed ligth, and verify part until and after yo It's been reported against LyX 1.4.2 so I've some hope that it could be fixed with the utf8 support in LyX 1.5.x but I don't really understand what the reporter means and I've no russian enviroment to test it. So it would be great if someone could maybe reproduce the bug or confirm that it's gone with 1.5.x on Linux (idealy Debian but any other distribution should be fine too).

Hi Jeremy, This is not exactly responsive to your question but on the subject of choosing a book document class I have a strong opinion: Namely, one should never consider frontmatter needs in picking a document class. My opinion is that every frontmatter is a one-off affair, with lots of different things that should be individually laid out, and as such, the frontmatter should be constructed by hand coded ERT and custom environments. My opinion is that your decision as to which class should be determined based on the benefits to you in the mainmatter and maybe backmatter. Those places (especially the mainmatter) are where you need styles based consistency, and therefore it's those places that the right document class (and the right packages) can do you the most good.

Reconfigure oddity
I have recently updated my little Zaurus 3100 to a new version of debian (armel), so re-installed LyX. I wanted to make sure it had access to everything it really needed, so I ran reconfigure. I have the debian-sid lyx-1.5.2-1 package installed. I tried to compile lyx on the machine, but it is a long, slow process with the limited memory I have available. Sometimes it will crash in mid-compile of some of the larger object files, so make has to be re-started often. However, the debian package works fine. The output of the command is stored in a LyX file, but my LyX could not read it. That file claims to be lyxformat 2.15, for LyX 0.11. Current Lyx 1.5.2 uses lyxformat 276. The file is not readable, and my LyX could not convert it to readable format. My usual trick, simply changing the format number, also does not work. It seems that my machine is configured adequately, but maybe it would be time to update this output format. I just checked on my desktop machine and it, also, produces the same old lyx format from reconfigure. On that machine (debian lenny, amd64 machine) I compiled lyx-1.5.2 myself. -- David L.

Re: [CfH] Reproduce problem with russian and spell check in Lyx on Linux
There are a few contexts where ё has to be used to disambiguate certain words (e.g., все/всё), just as there are some contexts where Russian texts mark stress, which is otherwise basically unpredictable but not indicated orthographically (e.g., большáя часть 'a large part'-бóльшая часть 'a larger part'). Usually, only texts for non-native readers indicate stress and the e/ё distinction consistently. I can't speak to the spellchecking issue with any authority, but I'd imagine that anyone who wants a Russian spellchecker in the first place would probably want it to work correctly on words with ё.

Bibliography / General questions
Hi, I'm new to LaTeX / LyX / BibTeX and I'm really having some trouble. I've been searching forums and mailing lists for ages now but I can't get my bibliography and citations to work. What I want is: A) Footnote citation à la: Dr. iur. et dipl. chem. James X. Y. Bond: This is a really, really, really long title containing commas and quotation marks, 2007 - (http://path/to/document.pdf) - Pages 5, 8f, 24ff 294 So there should be: 1. The full listing of prefixes 2. The fully written surname, then initials for the middle names and then the last name 3. : 4. The book title which might contain special characters like commas, quatation marks or brackets 5. , 6. Year 7. - 8. An url in (brackets) 9. - 10. The Page numbers, the first pages seperated by commas, the last one with by a B) The bibliography entries looking the same but without page numbers. I use JabRef to create the .bib (usually choosing MISC because of the url problem) and I made a custom .bst with latex. But I can't even get the bibliography to show up with the simple jurabib entry in the preamble and the jox style, or the standart bibliopgraphy and the plain style. I can't get it to work at all. I get all kind of error combinations depending on what I try to use. I read all the HOW-TOs and that stuff but it just won't work, I don't see what I'm doing wrong, and I don't even understand why jurabib provides Author, year citation when I could do that with a .bst file. I don't understand this concept at all. I tried all kind of stuff but nothing works. Could someone please explain to me what I have to do to get this kind of citation? I'm really frustrated here :( Thank you -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Bibliography---General-questions-tf4839464.html#a13845363 Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I get all kind of error combinations depending on what I try to use. It seems to me we should take this slowly. The first thing to do is to get standard bibliographies working. Then we can try the more complex stuff. The way to debug this problem is to create a simple file, with essentially nothing but a couple sentences and a couple citations, and then to add a bibliography. Use the plain style at first. Now, export this file to LaTeX and open a terminal (you didn't say what your OS is) so you can manually do this: latex myfile.tex bibtex myfile latex myfile.tex latex myfile.tex You may get some error messages there. If so, we'll need to know at which stages, and what they were. You'll get warnings the first LaTeX run about undefined citations, but that is normal. The real questions are: Does that run produce a file myfile.aux? If so, does it look like it makes sense? Does the BibTeX run succeed? or does it produce errors? I use JabRef to create the .bib (usually choosing MISC because of the url problem) You don't really need to do this. The other types of entries will accept the URL field, and if you're creating a custom bst then you can do with it as you wish. and I made a custom .bst with latex. You are a brave man, then. But I can't even get the bibliography to show up with the simple jurabib entry in the preamble and the jox style, or the standart bibliopgraphy and the plain style. I can't get it to work at all.

adapted it with use for LyX. (The result does not longer work, however since
I switched from tetex to texlive and some packages are no longer there or
changed a bit.)

Actually, it replaces not the font but text, i.e. you have to re-define all the text strings in ERT commands: - more work, - it works only for simple text strings (all in one font), + you can alter the text labels without need to re-generate the eps, -> you can use simple placeholder strings in the eps, + you can use all of LaTeX, (I need math for formulas or symbols heavily), - the replacement might need less or more space. Documentation is in ...psfrag/pfgguide.pdf.
Graphics problem
Hi I am using Lyx 1.5.2. My problem is that when I compile in Linux (Ubuntu 7.10) the eps graphics cower a whole page (Yes even when I try to rescale). But this problem does not appear when the document is compiled in mac os X ore win Vista. Does anyone know if I am missing a package lib ore something in my Linux box? Thanks Örn

Hyphenationpriblem with '-'
Hello,
I have following problem: I have words like 'IGI-2' and want LaTeX not
to hyphenate it. In German texts this is possible with 'IGI"~2' which
results in 'IGI-2'.
I also tried to define a hyphenation with \hyphenation{word}, but of
course this command uses '-' to define where to hyphenate and gets
confused with these kind of words.
Maybe a \newcommand with \mbox or something similar could help? But I am
not sure about how to do so.
any suggestions?
Thanks,
Helmut

compare book classes
Does anyone know of a chart or webpage that quickly compares book classes? I have used koma scrbook a lot. I recently started trying Memoir and also just the Book classes and see that have different features (like no subject/subtitle on first page). Does anyone of have a quick comparison reference of the different book classes? If not, what do you prefer and why? Maybe the answers could be summarized on a wiki page. Jeremy C. Reed
[CfH] Reproduce problem with russian and spell check in Lyx on Linux
Hi, as some of you might have noticed I'm one of the guys working on the LyX Debian packages and ATM I try to clear our to bugtracker so that we can submit the valid bugs to our beloved LyX developers. Since I'm not getting any feedback from the submitter of a bug related to russian spell checking I'd like to kindly ask if we've someone here who speaks russian to maybe reproduce the bug. The orginal bugreport is fairly short [1]: """ Subject: lyx: fails to check russian word with "yo" If using lyx, russian locate, aspell, word with lerret "yo" (ё) don't right check. The word to be not completed ligth, and verify part until and after "yo" """ It's been reported against LyX 1.4.2 so I've some hope that it could be fixed with the utf8 support in LyX 1.5.x but I don't really understand what the reporter means and I've no russian enviroment to test it. So it would be great if someone could maybe reproduce the bug or confirm that it's gone with 1.5.x on Linux (idealy Debian but any other distribution should be fine too).

This should be no reason of concern. The Russian language has a specific number of words that contain the letter "ё" (i.e. [1]). However, sometimes this is considered "old" way of writing and in the name of simplification people use "е" instead of "ё" [2]. This trend can be seen in books (recently republished old texts, included) as well. The dictionaries provided by aspell seem to use the "new" trend as well. As such, they do not contain, for example, the "ёлка" word. Instead these contain "елка". When checking the spelling in a document, aspell - hence LyX - will identify "ёлка" as miss-spelled and propose "елка" instead (see attached LyX file). The rest of the document seems to be checked as expected. [1] http://ru.wiktionary.org/wiki/ёлка [2] http://ru.wiktionary.org/wiki/елка I imagine this should suit the bug report.

I'd suspect rather that the problem stems from "e diaresis" used instead of a 'real' cyrillic /jo/. Andre' [PS: Btw I am not aware of a old/new distiction of ё/e. My impression so far was that ё is used in school books while e is the thing you find in the "real world". And this includes pretty old prints, too. ]

Hi Jeremy, This is not exactly responsive to your question but on the subject of choosing a book document class I have a strong opinion: Namely, one should never consider frontmatter needs in picking a document class. My opinion is that every frontmatter is a one-off affair, with lots of different things that should be individually laid out, and as such, the frontmatter should be constructed by hand coded ERT and custom environments. My opinion is that your decision as to which class should be determined based on the benefits to you in the mainmatter and maybe backmatter. Those places (especially the mainmatter) are where you need styles based consistency, and therefore it's those places that the right document class (and the right packages) can do you the most good.

Reconfigure oddity
I have recently updated my little Zaurus 3100 to a new version of debian (armel), so re-installed LyX. I wanted to make sure it had access to everything it really needed, so I ran reconfigure. I have the debian-sid lyx-1.5.2-1 package installed. I tried to compile lyx on the machine, but it is a long, slow process with the limited memory I have available. Sometimes it will crash in mid-compile of some of the larger object files, so make has to be re-started often. However, the debian package works fine. The output of the command is stored in a LyX file, but my LyX could not read it. That file claims to be lyxformat 2.15, for LyX 0.11. Current Lyx 1.5.2 uses lyxformat 276. The file is not readable, and my LyX could not convert it to readable format. My usual trick, simply changing the format number, also does not work. It seems that my machine is configured adequately, but maybe it would be time to update this output format. I just checked on my desktop machine and it, also, produces the same old lyx format from reconfigure. On that machine (debian lenny, amd64 machine) I compiled lyx-1.5.2 myself. -- David L.

Re: [CfH] Reproduce problem with russian and spell check in Lyx on Linux
There are a few contexts where ё has to be used to disambiguate certain words (e.g., все/всё), just as there are some contexts where Russian texts mark stress, which is otherwise basically unpredictable but not indicated orthographically (e.g., большáя часть 'a large part'-бóльшая часть 'a larger part'). Usually, only texts for non-native readers indicate stress and the e/ё distinction consistently. I can't speak to the spellchecking issue with any authority, but I'd imagine that anyone who wants a Russian spellchecker in the first place would probably want it to work correctly on words with ё.

Bibliography / General questions
Hi, I'm new to LaTeX / LyX / BibTeX and I'm really having some trouble. I've been searching forums and mailing lists for ages now but I can't get my bibliography and citations to work. What I want is: A) Footnote citation à la: Dr. iur. et dipl. chem. James X. Y. Bond: "This is a really, really, really "long" title containing commas and quotation marks", 2007 - (http://path/to/document.pdf) - Pages 5, 8f, 24ff & 294 So there should be: 1. The full listing of prefixes 2. The fully written surname, then initials for the middle names and then the last name 3. ":" 4. The book title which might contain special characters like commas, quatation marks or brackets 5. "," 6. Year 7. " - " 8. An url in (brackets) 9. " - " 10. The Page numbers, the first pages seperated by commas, the last one with by a "&" B) The bibliography entries looking the same but without page numbers. I use JabRef to create the .bib (usually choosing MISC because of the url problem) and I made a custom .bst with latex. But I can't even get the bibliography to show up with the simple jurabib entry in the preamble and the jox style, or the standart bibliopgraphy and the plain style. I can't get it to work at all. I get all kind of error combinations depending on what I try to use. I read all the HOW-TOs and that stuff but it just won't work, I don't see what I'm doing wrong, and I don't even understand why jurabib provides "Author, year" citation when I could do that with a .bst file. I don't understand this concept at all. I tried all kind of stuff but nothing works. Could someone please explain to me what I have to do to get this kind of citation? I'm really frustrated here :( Thank you -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Bibliography---General-questions-tf4839464.html#a13845363 Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I get all kind of error combinations depending on what I try to use. It seems to me we should take this slowly. The first thing to do is to get standard bibliographies working. Then we can try the more complex stuff. The way to debug this problem is to create a simple file, with essentially nothing but a couple sentences and a couple citations, and then to add a bibliography. Use the plain style at first. Now, export this file to LaTeX and open a terminal (you didn't say what your OS is) so you can manually do this: >latex myfile.tex >bibtex myfile >latex myfile.tex >latex myfile.tex You may get some error messages there. If so, we'll need to know at which stages, and what they were. You'll get warnings the first LaTeX run about undefined citations, but that is normal. The real questions are: Does that run produce a file myfile.aux? If so, does it look like it makes sense? Does the BibTeX run succeed? or does it produce errors? I use JabRef to create the .bib (usually choosing MISC because of the url problem) You don't really need to do this. The other types of entries will accept the URL field, and if you're creating a custom bst then you can do with it as you wish. and I made a custom .bst with latex. You are a brave man, then. But I can't even get the bibliography to show up with the simple jurabib entry in the preamble and the jox style, or the standart bibliopgraphy and the plain style. I can't get it to work at all.
