Problem producing glossary and acronymtable on mac
Hi. Just in case my problem seems too trivial for you guys to be posted about in this group I would like to state that I did indeed search for a solution to my problem for quiet some time now and did not find one. My OS version is Mac OS X 10.5.5, I am using Lyx 1.5.6 and the MacTeX-2008 distribution. After it took me ages to get a working test of using nomencl or glossaries to produce a table with acronyms and one with a glossary I am now looking for a way to automate pdf-creation. I did find some forum posts stating to add a custom converter for a custom pdf-filetype. Adding a custom pdf-filetype was easy. How do I add an converter to automatically get my tables refreshed? I wrote a script, which is executing latex, makeindex and pdflatex. To get a pdf with the glossary-tables I need to export from lyx to tex, then run that script. As latex won' t work with a .lyx-file I suspect I can not really use my script with a converter (tried it and nothing happend, so I am unsure whether it is working or whether I executed the converter right). Using Google I was not able to find a solution or a guide about how to automate these things. Can one of you help me with that or give me a pointer where to look for a solution? Thanks a lot in advance for all your efforts. Greetings, Michael

Windows XP doesn't shut down with LyX open
Anyone else experienced this? If I have either LyX 1.5.6 or 1.6.0 and I give Windows the command to shut down the computer (i.e. from the Task manager), windows will close maybe a program or two but then abort the shutdown sequence and remain running. If, however, I first close LyX manually, then my computers will actually turn off normally. Alex

[OT?] Using Latin Modern fonts on Ubuntu
Hi, I wonder if anybody can point me in the right direction here. I have a bunch of LyX docs I produced on Win XP using the Latin Modern fonts, with PDF outputs. The PDF file display fine on Ubuntu Hardy, but if I try to edit the docs there or write new docs with LyX (1.5.6) on Ubuntu using Latin Modern, the PDF files contain no text. (Images, bullets, background colors are fine -- just no text.) That's using pdflatex. Using dvipdfm, I get an error message saying the DVI file couldn't be converted. Using ps2pdf I get text, but I'm not sure it's Latin Modern (the PDF file's font property says "Type 3"). I'm using TeXLive on Ubuntu (MiKTeX on Win XP), and I have the Latin Modern package installed on Ubuntu. Since the XP-generated PDF files seem to display correctly, I'm assuming it's not a lack of an X11 font. Any ideas what I can do to convince TeXLive to generate PDF output with Latin Modern fonts? It's both weird and annoying. TIA, Paul

Re: Problem with geometry package (urgent)
Hi Everybody: I've just found the workaround by myself. The problem seemed to be that I loaded a lot of packages on the preamble and the order was not the correct one. In fact, I was using the "fancyhdr" package. When I changed the order of both packages, everuthyng worked fine. I had load "geometry" package first, and then the "fancyhdr". Thank you anyway.

Or, if not, any ideas? The brand new LyX 1.6 has support for polytonic greek built-in. Select Greek (polytonic) as Document-Language. There were long threads about Greek with LyX (both mono- and polytonic) some times ago. A summary can be found (and improved) on the LyX wiki under http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Greek. Support for the mulit-accented Greek unicode chars (i.e. the Greek-extended Unicode block) is under way (see http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4997). Until then, the utf8x encoding setting is needed if you use these characters. Günter
