'15' at the first line

was of a very bad quality in acroread; xpdf couldn't even show
it. What I'd really like to have is an option to run pdfelatex from

My recent experience is that ghostview works consistently with pdf files I
make (using ps2pdf) and with those I download whereas xpdf works only
sporadically. (xpdf will sometimes display screens full of dots and dashes
- as though it cannot find or use fonts properly.) I have had no
difficulty with acroread on x86 systems with any pdf file. ghostview (gs)
consistently works for me on both x86 and alpha platforms.
(I only use acroread is to print pdfs and that only because I have an

If the acroread printing is all right, but the screen view is awful (and
you need it), you may use palatino only when you want printing
output and times or pslatex when you need screenview, but of course
the page layout will change...

Re: Citing
Thanks everybody, we have got it :)
Just to summarize it for the archive:
At my Linux distribution (SuSE6.4) there are 3 bst files in
/usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/natbib
abbrvnat.bst(Auther-Year numeric citation)
plainnat.bst(numeric citation only)
unsrtnat.bst(Auther-Year numeric citation)
As a style sheet I used:
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/natbib/natbib.sty
There is some documentation in natbib.sty which should clarify magic lines
like
\usepackage[round,comma]{natbib}
As lyx only seems to use \cite for citing it might be useful to redefine it to
\renewcommand{\cite}{\citet}
or similar.
Guess that's the little lesson we learned yesterday :)

1.1.5fix2 just now: remove description of pdf support on

[Author Date] citations...
Sorry if this has been asked before! I need to use an [Author, Date] citation style, like "Harvard/ASGM", or whatever, in my BibTeX bibliography.

Re: Citing
Thanks everybody, we have got it :)
Just to summarize it for the archive:
At my Linux distribution (SuSE6.4) there are 3 bst files in
/usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/natbib
abbrvnat.bst(Auther-Year numeric citation)
plainnat.bst(numeric citation only)
unsrtnat.bst(Auther-Year numeric citation)
As a style sheet I used:
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/natbib/natbib.sty
There is some documentation in natbib.sty which should clarify magic lines
like
\usepackage[round,comma]{natbib}
As lyx only seems to use \cite for citing it might be useful to redefine it to
\renewcommand{\cite}{\citet}
or similar.
Guess that's the little lesson we learned yesterday :)

A solution to see these overfull boxes is to use the "draft" document class option (which should really be supported by LyX). This will put black boxes at the relevant lines.

Win32 Backspace
Hello, I have set up LyX 1.1.5fix2 for Win32 and I'm using the Emacs key bindings. Hoewever, I want backspace to do what I expect, which is to delete the charachter to the left of the cursor. Right now, it acts like delete and deletes charachters to the right of the cursor. Any hints? - IT
Hi everybody,
I have just subscribed to this group! I'd like to find out how I
produce .pdf files from within lyx. The documentation is... I did
things with Export-Custom ;), but I had to use ps2pdf, and the result
was of a very bad quality in acroread; xpdf couldn't even show
it. What I'd really like to have is an option to run pdfelatex from
within LyX, and display the result in xpdf automagically. An "option"
as xdvi is significantly faster, and can be updated.
My system: Debian 2.2 potato, LyX 1.15fix2, gs 5.10-9.1 (.deb package
#), recent tetex, \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} \usepackage{palatino}.

Re: pdf
My recent experience is that ghostview works consistently with pdf files I
make (using ps2pdf) and with those I download whereas xpdf works only
sporadically. (xpdf will sometimes display screens full of dots and dashes
- as though it cannot find or use fonts properly.) I have had no
difficulty with acroread on x86 systems with any pdf file. ghostview (gs)
consistently works for me on both x86 and alpha platforms.
(I only use acroread is to print pdfs and that only because I have an
unresolved configuration problem with ghostview that prevents printing
individual pages.)
