still spellchecker
Hello, after searching in mail-archive.com and trying Herbert Voss' recommandations (deutsch instead of German option in configurations dialog) my spellchecker still isn't working. Everytime I got the error message: Ispell process died for some reason. One possible reason could be that you don't have a dictionary file for the language of this document installed: Check usr/lib/ispell or set another dictionary in the spellchekcer options menu. This is what I did: 1. fetching packages from CTAN, German.zip, and both hyphenation files (ngeran, german). Unfortunately I didn't find to much information where to place this files in the accompaigning docs. :-[ 2. In ~/Lyxrc I have aspell set for my spellchecker (aspell 0.32.1 alpha) 3. Reconfigure and all the like (texhash) Ther at least some questions left: 1. Are dictionary files ending up with .hash ? 2. If, does this mean some files have to be copied to /usr/lib/aspell (usr/lib/ispell deosn't exist) ? 3. I would be pleased if someone could tell me what files do have to be placed in /usr/lib/aspell? 4. Is there a problem that Lyx does not recognise the aspell directory and insiting ispell to be installed in every case? So I end up with lots of questions, but no more ideas how to manage my spellchecking problem. So every hint is appreciated :-\ Thanks to all Thomas

installing fonts: what am I doing wrong?
I recently wanted to find and install the Baskerville font on my system (I
saw it in a book and liked it). After much digging, I found it as part of the
psfonts on CTAN. There were two dirs: baskerbe and baskervi. Not knowing the
difference (what is the difference?) I downloaded and installed them both.
The install I did was as follows, because I simply don't know any better: the
directory I downloaded contained ./tex ./tfm ./vf directories. I coppied the
files in each of these directories to what looked like the appropriate place
in my tex tree: vf files went in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/baskerbe and
baskervi, tfm files went in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/ ... , fd files
went into /usr/share/tex/latex/psnfss. I then catted the ???.map files onto
my /etc/texmf/dvips/psfonts.map file, did a texconfig rehash, put
\usepackage{baskerbe} into my preamble, and viewed the postscript.
The font looks positively horrible. None of the characters are spaced
correctly, none of them are sized correctly, and the font itself looks
nothing like baskerville. What did I do wrong? What do I need to do to
install these fonts? I've looked at fntguide, but if the answer is there then
I don't see it
Re: help_postscriptview
I had to reintall SeSu7.2, and backed up all *.lyx files (including pictures). Now I am trying to use LyX, it doesn't want to convert my files to postscriptview (or pdf). This LyX is the same version I wrote all these files. KLyX works fine, but I wanna use LyX. However, without pictures it works fine. Also, it works fine for a new file with pictures. I have to finish my old file. I can't understand what is the problem. I am thinking that when I made copies using 'KDE' could be problem. I don't know. Now I worry about future use of LyX. I don't blame it, but I wanna know what I've done wrong.

installing fonts: what am I doing wrong?
I recently wanted to find and install the Baskerville font on my system (I
saw it in a book and liked it). After much digging, I found it as part of the
psfonts on CTAN. There were two dirs: baskerbe and baskervi. Not knowing the
difference (what is the difference?) I downloaded and installed them both.
The install I did was as follows, because I simply don't know any better: the
directory I downloaded contained ./tex ./tfm ./vf directories. I coppied the
files in each of these directories to what looked like the appropriate place
in my tex tree: vf files went in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/baskerbe and
baskervi, tfm files went in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/ ... , fd files
went into /usr/share/tex/latex/psnfss. I then catted the ???.map files onto
my /etc/texmf/dvips/psfonts.map file, did a texconfig rehash, put
\usepackage{baskerbe} into my preamble, and viewed the postscript.
The font looks positively horrible. None of the characters are spaced
correctly, none of them are sized correctly, and the font itself looks
nothing like baskerville. What did I do wrong? What do I need to do to
install these fonts? I've looked at fntguide, but if the answer is there then
I don't see it
Re: help_postscriptview
I had to reintall SeSu7.2, and backed up all *.lyx files (including pictures). Now I am trying to use LyX, it doesn't want to convert my files to postscriptview (or pdf). This LyX is the same version I wrote all these files. KLyX works fine, but I wanna use LyX. However, without pictures it works fine. Also, it works fine for a new file with pictures. I have to finish my old file. I can't understand what is the problem. I am thinking that when I made copies using 'KDE' could be problem. I don't know. Now I worry about future use of LyX. I don't blame it, but I wanna know what I've done wrong.

still spellchecker
Hello, after searching in mail-archive.com and trying Herbert Voss' recommandations (deutsch instead of German option in configurations dialog) my spellchecker still isn't working. Everytime I got the error message: Ispell process died for some reason. "One" possible reason could be that you don't have a dictionary file for the language of this document installed: Check usr/lib/ispell or set another dictionary in the spellchekcer options menu. This is what I did: 1. fetching packages from CTAN, German.zip, and both hyphenation files (ngeran, german). Unfortunately I didn't find to much information where to place this files in the accompaigning docs. :-[ 2. In ~/Lyxrc I have aspell set for my spellchecker (aspell 0.32.1 alpha) 3. Reconfigure and all the like (texhash) Ther at least some questions left: 1. Are dictionary files ending up with ".hash "? 2. If, does this mean some files have to be copied to /usr/lib/aspell (usr/lib/ispell deosn't exist) ? 3. I would be pleased if someone could tell me what files do have to be placed in /usr/lib/aspell? 4. Is there a problem that Lyx does not recognise the aspell directory and insiting ispell to be installed in every case? So I end up with lots of questions, but no more ideas how to manage my spellchecking problem. So every hint is appreciated :-\ Thanks to all Thomas

Hi folks, I was writing my dissertation under lyx 1.0.3 and updated to 1.1.16. However a doc file which would compile just ok under the older version now does not work on 1.1.16 (there appears over 140 erros). The file has not been changed at all how can i sort it out? thanks!

installing fonts: what am I doing wrong?
I recently wanted to find and install the Baskerville font on my system (I
saw it in a book and liked it). After much digging, I found it as part of the
psfonts on CTAN. There were two dirs: baskerbe and baskervi. Not knowing the
difference (what is the difference?) I downloaded and installed them both.
The install I did was as follows, because I simply don't know any better: the
directory I downloaded contained ./tex ./tfm ./vf directories. I coppied the
files in each of these directories to what looked like the appropriate place
in my tex tree: vf files went in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/baskerbe and
baskervi, tfm files went in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/ ... , fd files
went into /usr/share/tex/latex/psnfss. I then catted the ???.map files onto
my /etc/texmf/dvips/psfonts.map file, did a texconfig rehash, put
\usepackage{baskerbe} into my preamble, and viewed the postscript.
The font looks positively horrible. None of the characters are spaced
correctly, none of them are sized correctly, and the font itself looks
nothing like baskerville. What did I do wrong? What do I need to do to
install these fonts? I've looked at fntguide, but if the answer is there then
I don't see it
Re: help_postscriptview
I had to reintall SeSu7.2, and backed up all *.lyx files (including pictures). Now I am trying to use LyX, it doesn't want to convert my files to postscriptview (or pdf). This LyX is the same version I wrote all these files. KLyX works fine, but I wanna use LyX. However, without pictures it works fine. Also, it works fine for a new file with pictures. I have to finish my old file. I can't understand what is the problem. I am thinking that when I made copies using 'KDE' could be problem. I don't know. Now I worry about future use of LyX. I don't blame it, but I wanna know what I've done wrong.

Thank you. That worked for "normal" LyX. CJK-LyX didn't compile, though "./configure" was - like for normal lyx - o.k. "make" failed with the following: WorkArea.C:378: `dummy' undeclared (first use this function) WorkArea.C:378: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once WorkArea.C:378: for each function it appears in.) WorkArea.C:392: `num_bytes' undeclared (first use this function) make[3]: *** [WorkArea.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/gs/Install/CJK-LyX-1.1.6fix3-src/CJK-LyX-1.1.6 fix3/src' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/gs/Install/CJK-LyX-1.1.6fix3-src/CJK-LyX-1.1.6 fix3/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gs/Install/CJK-LyX-1.1.6fix3-src/CJK-LyX-1.1.6 fix3/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 However, as I can use the rpm for cjk-lyx and the compiled version for "normal" LyX for me everything is fine.
