Problem with dead keys
Hi all,
I have the following problem and will appreciate if someone has an answer.
My Linux X server handles the dead keys correctly that is
'e leads to é
`e leads to è
"e leads to ë
and ' key (apostrophe) typed two times leads to '
" key (double quote) typed two times leads to "
xterm and standard applications handle this correctly. What I'm typing now on
Netscape is done this way.
But presently the problem occurs with lyx editor:
generation of accented characters is ok
'e leads to é
`e leads to è
"e leads to ë
but generation of standard apostrophe, double quote, caret (^), tilde and back
quote are impossible. Lyx refuses I get the accent that would be upon a
character. Generated LateX is
\i \'{ } instead of '
I have put no key map translation in config file.
I believe it is a known problem.
Thanks in advance for your help
Cheers
Jacques

Problems with Docbook
Thanks to Chris Sawtell, Luc Taesch, and Jose Matos I now do have Docbook capability on Redhat 6.1. The answer there was as Luc and Jose said - to use the sgmltools from the sylvan.com site. The site was a revelation to me. I was not aware of their carrying the sgmltools ball on from sgml.org. Wouldn't it be nice to put a link there on their homepage? I think the Lyx.org homepage should also make it clear that the sylvan version is needed for docbook support. Sadly my problems persist on the Redhat 5.2 boxes. Because of the library compatibilty issues, I have downloaded the src rpms of the various packages ( 54MB for teTeX! ) and built and installed them. There seem to be some incompatibilities. When I try to produce and view the dvi file - Dvi.py error with a "JadeTex run failed" error message. Investigating this revealed that is jadetex (not JadeTex) that is failing. Before I spend another 2 days trying the trace what these python programs are doing, is there anyone out there who knows that this can be made to work with Redhat 5.2?

Problem with citation list
Hi all! I have a problem with citations in LyX 1.1.4: If I call the menu insert citation, I got no list of the items in the bib-file. In version 1.0.4 it has worked. Is this problem known and is there a bug-fix? Hajo -- E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 05-Mar-2000 Time: 16:33:32 This message was sent by XFMail --

Screen Fonts
Hi; I have a question about the format for changing the popup and menu font sizes, they seem too big and run over the borders on some of the popups. It seems that I can't get the font size to change without complaints from "dbg". I want to change the popup to 8 or 9-helv-medium and the menu to 10 helv medium. Any suggestions?

LyX disappearing all the time
Hi all. I didn't see this in any bugs documentation, so I don't know if it's just me. I just compiled my own lyx 1.14 with the fix1 patch. Every now and then the program just seems to disappear (crash I guess). It doesn't leave a core file behind, but when I restart the program it tells me it's got a saved copy of my document and it almost always contains the stuff I typed immediately before the program disappeared. It goes with no warning. I can just be typing away for half an hour and all of a sudden it'll vanish. For now since I'm not losing work, only time, it's bearable. Is this a bug?

Hello everyone we have been using LyX for quite some time and are very happy with it. However, one thing is still missing: that is the letter head of our institution. There are a number of letter styles available but it is unclear to me how to modify them such that a template can be generated for general use. The documentation does not seem to be that helpful in this regard. greetings -- Eildert Groeneveld = Institute for Animal Science and Animal Behaviour Mariensee 31535 Neustadt Germany Tel : (49)(0)5034 871155 Fax : (49)(0)5034 92579 www : http://www.tzv.fal.de/~eg/ e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] =
