Re: Display formula problem

[Nick Burgan]

Remzi,

You can toggle between the superscript/sunscript way and the directly 
above/below way when in display math mode, by typing

Alt-m-l 
(the cursors position must be before or behind the symbol)

Hope thats of some help

Re: newbie font problem

[Will Robinson]

Thanks for the speedy reply.  Unfortunately, I don't think that's the
problem...  I have all of the packages you listed except for tetex-doc
(which is just documentation, yes?).  I'm running redhat 6.2, so the
version numbers of all the tetex-* packages is 1.0.6-11, but this should
still work, right?

Thanks again,
Will Robinson

newbie font problem

[Will Robinson]

Hi all,

I've gone through the Introduction and Tutorial, and have skimmed the
User's Guide, but I can't find any mention of this problem anywhere.  A
google search was also fruitless, as was a search of this list's archive.

I've just been following the tutorial, and have corrected the
example_raw.lyx file.  I wanted to output the file to postscript so that I
could look at it with gv (or print it, or whatever).  When I go to
File->Export->PostScript, LyX thinks awhile, then pops up a window that
says:

There were errors during the LaTeX run.
8 errors detected.
You should try to fix them.

I close the error window, and I see a bunch of "Error" boxes in my
document.  When I click on one of them, it gives me a message like this:


Font T1/cmr/m/n/14.4=ecrm1440 at 14.4pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file
not f
\maketitle

I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.
[Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.]
You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `|\font='.


I've just installed the LyX rpm (along with the tetex-lyx rpm) from the
bin directory of the ftp site at lyx.org.  I'm using version 1.1.6fix3 of
each.  As far as I can tell, I have all the other required rpms installed
also, specifically:
xforms 0.88
tetex 1.0.6
tetex-latex 1.0.6
ghostscript 5.50
gv 3.5.8

I know I'm missing something, and I'm eager to make LyX a part of my
everyday computing. :)

Thanks for any help you can provide,
Will Robinson

Part name in TOC

[Tony Dancer]

Hello,

I really am sorry for posting this, as I suspect it is an FAQ. However,
I can't find any record of it in the digests.

I have a thesis using report style, and want to make the TOC look
different.

Specifically, `Part' just reads I, II etc, and I would like it to say
Part I. 

Can anyone tell me how do I do this?

Thanks
Tony

You can do this

-At the begining of each section set the counter figure to 0
\setcounter{figure}{0}

-At the begining of the document or in the preamble redefine the \thefigure 
command
\setcounter{figure}{0}

Now you should have what you want (see the attached sample file).

If you don't want to add the same command at the begining of each section you 
can do this trick
\let\oldsection=\section
\renewcommand[1]{\oldsection{#1} \setcounter{figure}{0}}
But I am not sur it will work (isn't there an optionnal argument for \section 
?).

This is what happens when you are using a menu in lyx when rendering is finished
by the ghostscript child. It is an xforms bug we can do nothing about.

This is /thoroughly/ bizarre. There is no binary named "/usr/bin/gs " so
I am amazed it works at all. Are you sure about this ?

Installation problem, please Help!

[Di, Yu]

Hi, I am trying to install LyX on a Solaris SPARC box, "uname -a" shows
"SunOS ... 5.6 Generic_105181-23 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10", the compiler
is gcc/g++ 2.95.2. I compiled libXpm 4.7 with gcc, and compiled xforms 0.89
with Sun CC 4.2. 

The configuration was all right, and so was the main part of compilation.
But when it was trying to link the executable, it showed a very long error
message about symbol reference error, and could not create "lyx".

I am pasting the error output message to the end of this email, can anybody
point out to me what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thanks!

Sorry if this is a bit outdated, but this bug still seems to exist.

In figinset.C there seems to be a problem with execlp if one uses 
ghostscript 6.51 + 

The gs process starts but never exits. Why I don't know. One can go 
into /proc and see the commandline arguments, but this doesn't explain
where it hangs. If you're curious I could try to strace gs. But for now
I'll just report the workaround.

If using ghostscript 5.50 it always works fine. 

On my system lyx 1.1.6-fix3 works with Ghostscript 6.51 when setting  
\ps_command to "/usr/bin/gs "
in lyxrc.defaults or equivalent

It's the first argument to execlp which must end with a space (works
also when setting the first string to " ") 

Morten

Ps: the xhost trick didn't do it for me and I'm not on the lyx list.

can I undefine a latex command?

[Guenter Milde]

I wonder if there is some TeX magic, that lets me undefine a LaTeX command,
  \Re 
say.

Then I could write a math_macro that has also the right look opposed to the
present version with the präamble renewcommand:
  \renewcommand{\Re}{\mathrm{Re}}

(of course, a macro feature that lets the user choice between \newcommand
  \providecommand (or no latex command) and \renewcommand is still on my wishlist)

I just read in the output directly, it's even less code than coverting it
to LaTeX first.

So we could multiply matrices now:

[ 1  2  3 ]   [ 1  2  3 ]  [ 14  11  11 ]
| 2  3  1 | \cdot | 2  3  1 | ->  | 11  14  11 |
[ 3  1  2 ]   [ 3  1  2 ]  [ 11  11  14 ]

I guess we'll need some auto-insertion of "missing" multiplication signs
here, too...

Yes, this is a long standing feature request of mine. Scaling a figure
to 50% of its orginal size is something so basic that it is a shame
LyX can't do it.

I know that this is not exactly what you want, but I don't know how to
