Re: HELP!
One solution (which i have already posted to this lyx-users list) is to find out the proper rpm's for RedHat. After installing xforms and lyx using glint in RedHat 5.2, kernel 2.0.36 i got rid of exactly similar messages in my system. Then what is the difference in source code level ? I have no idea of that. BR:Risto From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 12.05.99 09:13 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] @ inet cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] @ inet Subject: HELP! I am running RH 5.2 kernel 2.2.7 and I have tried both lyx-0.12 and lyx-1.0.3pre2 and I get the following two errors: 1. When i type lyx i get an Alert window with the following error message: LyX wasn't able to find it's layout descriptions! Check that the file "textclass.lst" is installed correctly. Sorry, has to exit :-( I get around the problem by typing lyx -sysdir /usr/local/share/lyx (from the man page) 2. When I load a file I cannot view it with viewdvi, or postscript view. I get the following Alert three times: Error: Could not change to directory: /tmp/lyx_tmp11766aaa/lyx_bufrtmp11766aaa Success I suspect this has to do with improper configuration but any help would be appreciated!

update DVI?
This was fixed recently. Apply the following patch to your source and recompile and all should be well.

update DVI?
I have Lyx 1.02 on my machine. It runs fine, except for one thing: if I have updated the DVI file once during a Lyx session, it won't update it again! In other words, if I edit a file, save it, update DVI, it works once, but if I edit some more, and save, the "update DVI" command does nothing! I've checked the temporary directory, and a new .tex file has been written (which I can then run latex on, and get a .dvi file from), but Lyx doesn't seem to execute this command a 2nd time. Is there some way to fix this? Seems like a bug to me. Cheers, Gordon *** Dr. Gordon A.

fonts (fwd)
Hi, Some days ago, I was posting the following question to the mailing list. Unfortunately, I did not get an answers about changing fonts in xforms widgets. Does somebody know a solution? Thank you very much. Best wishes Michael -- Forwarded message -- Date: Sat, 8 May 1999 16:49:30 +0200 (MET DST) From: Michael Hanke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: fonts Hi, I just met another problem: I have a large screen now. While Ican change the fontsize of fonts in the document very easily using the popup, this is not possible for the fonts in other windows. The letters in the latex preamble window are almost unreadable on my screen. How can the fonts of menus, popup windows and the like be changed? Am I missing something? Thanks.

I'd rather use

I just added that to math.bind.

Accents in math mode
Hello,
What follows is rather for the developers' list, but it may
be of interest for all.
The UserGuide gives in section 5.1.11 a table of
the available accent functions in math mode, with the corresponding
functions in text mode.
Following a request of a colleague about the implementation of ddot,
I could easily replace the \ddot{x} I used up to now by:
\bind "M-m S-quotedbl" "math-insert ddot"
in the local math.bind file.
Perhaps this could be made standard, unless there is a reason
to leave some of the bindings unaffected ?

This is not really documented because it depends on your TeX implmentation. The idea is that teTeX computes the font bitmaps when they are needed and stores them for later use. This means that for the first uses, typesetting may take a while. However, if this occurs again for the same document later, then there is a bug somewhere. I think there are scripts named 'allcm' or 'allec' which can be used to precompute fonts. JMarc

It works perfectly well, provided that you increase the environment depth of the itemised list (explained in the User Guide).

( Good looking print Christopher> & nice HTML pages ) LyX currently has support for the LinuxDoc SGML DTD, which indeed has these limitations (HTML has many of these too, unless you plan to hardcode fonts). There is some work going on to support the DocBook DTD, which is supposedly more powerful. JMarc
