This is not an option if I have to mark every single english word and
set the language to english. Impossible... or can this be "filtered"
with some find & replace actions?

Funny, I was reading right a bit about LGR some minutes ago. [*]

Want to write Chinese in LyX? Please give me some feedback on this HOWTO

2009-01-19 Thread Paul Johnson
I've worked out a little update for the XeTeX page on the LyX Wiki.
(http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/XeTeX)

After obtaining feedback from prospective users of Chinese or other
languages that require non-roman character sets, I'd like to add this
to the LyX wiki page on Xetex.

In case you don't know, XeTeX offers a program "xelatex" a replacement
for the "pdflatex" program. Xelatex creates a pdf and in the TeX
document one can include all Unicode fonts that are available on the
system that are in the OpenType and true type formats.

I've posted the pdf output from a lyx file that demonstrates several
different font choices.

http://pj.freefaculty.org/latex/xetex-3.pdf

http://pj.freefaculty.org/latex/xetex-3.lyx

The title of my document is "Getting Reasonable Chinese Characters in
LATEX Documents". I suppose I should have LyX in the title, but the
first drafts of this were written in Emacs.

Book (AMS), quote* getting indented

2009-01-19 Thread Frederick Noronha [फ़रेदरिक नोरो नया]
Hi all:

I'm trying to use Book (AMS) class, and in it, the quote* text seems
to be getting indented at the start of every new para.

Actually I don't want the indent, because I've not implemented it
throughout in the book.

Question: how do I achieve this?

Many thanks! FN

Yes, you can either use a non-breakable space between words as described in sec. 3.5.1 of the 
UserGuide or put a word into a special box as described in sec. 3.9.2 of the UserGuide.

Sorry, for not RTFM in detail ;-)
After installing enumitem I got the same error, but this time it was a clash
with the paralist package. I redefined my two special list environments with
enumitem and got rid of paralist - and now it works.

Latex doesn't break pages after section heads so if you have only section heads
it fails to break them. The page is there but it just runs of the page.

You can see that if you force page breaks or add some text after the section
heads.

A workaround to see the outline in the mean time is to head a table of contents
which does break across pages.

You don't need to do this. I would uninstall these fonts (assure don't you don't simply delete the 
*.ttf files but really uninstall the fonts.)

Afterwards uninstall LyX _completely_. Then reinstall it using the complete 
version of this installer:

LyX (Windows) Math Symbols do not display (font problem?)

2009-01-19 Thread magneez

Hi all,
there seems to be no relevant documentation about this issue at least for
Windows users (in my case Windows XP pro SP3 32bit). When installing on
different machines, some math symbols are not displayed (the "\latexcode" is
displayed instead). E.g. on my latest try the following symbols were not
displayed:
\asymp
\models
\succ
(there are many more examples)

the source for that part was simply:
$\asymp\models\succ$

And all I see in Lyx is:
"asymp \models succ" (without quotes and in the familiar brown color font
reserved for un-WYSIWYG'ed symbols)

Just to stress the weirdness, the following symbols ARE all displayed
correctly (here is the source code):
$\left\{ \Uparrow\nu\angle\precsim\supsetneqq\right\} $

I have installed (in windows system) all the Bakoma fonts that are located
in \Resources\fonts, reinstalled Lyx countless times, installed full MikTex
separately, and did all updates for it. 

On other machines, strangely enough, I have the same problem - but with
DIFFERENT symbols...

does anyone have a clue as to why this might be happening?

thanks!

You can tweak the resulting output using further options that can be seen in

Hmm. I think this is a consequence of modularization of the AMS files. You 
did this in 1.6.x, yes?


Sorry, I forgot to give my settings:
lyx 1.6.1 installed in ubuntu 8.10 via backport repository, with no 
customization and a freshly created default ~/.lyx



We'll have to fix this, if so.


If you do, please let me know what I should do while waiting for the fix in 
the repository.




Until the fix will be done and available on the repository, for the moment I 
"demodulized" amsart: I copied amsart.layout in ~/.lyx/layouts, then I removed 
the line


DefaultModule theorems-ams

and I inserted in its place the content of theorems-ams.module.

Did I do it in the right way? I think so, because it works...  ;-))

TexLive 2008 has now also an online installer.
http://tug.org/texlive/acquire.html

Best to uninstall the TeX packages that comes with your current Linux
distribution and follow the above instruction if you don't have a DVD. You need
to check how in your Linux distribution LyX is coupled in terms of its
requirements for TeX packages.

For Debian users, LyX does not "require" any TeX packages. If your distro does,
obviously, leave thoses packages which are necessary for LyX installed.

Using the TexLive 2008 Package Manager is very easy and should be considered a
serious advantage in terms of convince, updating and recovery of a complex
production system that should be independent from the distribution's package
manager that controls your operating system.


Cheers, Sam
