RE: Latin-2 encoding
Dear Roman, Dekel, All,
I tryed to copy-paste the 4th chapter from the Users Guide to a new file.
I changed the dokument format to book, and the encoding to latin2.
The result was 3 errors. Latex claimed something about rotating the table.
And some another 2 errors which I cannot remember. But some simular things.
After I saved the UG as an another file I deleted the Other chapters.
The result was the same.
I tryed with Latin, there was no problem. When I switched back to Latin2
it is appeared also.
You can reproduce the whole thing easy.
Also, how can I insert the Registered symbol, (R in a circle).
It is also a latin2 problem? How can be solved?
I think I should know what is ERT, Where is described in the manuals?
I would like to read it. Or a short description?
I will write down the error message. Maybe today I will have time for it in the
afternoon.
I will try what Dekel suggested.
Have a nice day.
Thanks for the tips.

I dont understand the errors. Why are they there?
Could Somebody help me?
The problem is that the Userguide uses symbols that are in latin1 but not in
latin2. For example, the degree symbol.
One solution is to replace these symbols by ERT.
For example, the degree symbol can be replaced by \textdegree{} (in latex mode)
(and adding \usepackage{textcomp}) to the preamble).

1.1.6fix3 and aspell...
Hi all, yesterday I decided to change my spellchecker from ispell to aspell. I downloaded the rpms aspell-0.33.7.1-3.i386.rpm and pspell-0.12.2-7.i386.rpm and installed it. In a terminal aspell works even with tex/lyx files. So I decide to change my settings in lyx from Ispell to Aspell. When I hit F7 for spell checking my document I got an error message that the Ispell-daemon died for some reason. Lyx seems to have problems to find aspell or even the word lists? (I used german in spell checking options) Can anyone help me? Thank you Thorsetn

Encodings, X, LyX, KDE etc.
Hi all, My problem concerns LyX-LaTeX-TeX font encodings and input encodings, including KDE, X, LaTeX and, of course, LyX. It is a bit complicated (at least, for me), so I'll try to explain it in a relatively long form, repeating the questions in a shorter form at the end of this letter. I tried to install a font (say ft) under TeX-dvips. The font is a type1 font, which was previously used under windows. It is a converted font, where converted means, that special glyphs have been placed in it, namely: [\H o], [\H O], [\H u] and [\H U]. At this time there are a lot of Hungarian encodings, including the windows encs, the most popular of these put the above glyphs under the character codes originally reserved for the \^ or (better to say: XOR) the \~ versions of the respective chars (o, u). You could say: no problem, try to input \H, and the problem is solved. But the font I use, contains a \H glyph (at position 5, T1 encoding), but this one has two big problems: the first is that this glyph is not kerned anyway (which means, that the centerlineof the \H glyph does not match the o's nor the u's one) on the other side in the uppercase versions (where also vertical kerning has problems) the angle of the accents (the acuteness) is not the same of the lowercase's one (it can be proved viewing the \'O glyph and comparing it to \'o). The position of the Hungarianglyphs in this font is under the \^ version of the normal ones (\H o=244=\^ o using charterBT-roman, T1 encoding) Finally I found out that LaTeX deals also with charcodes128, so using LyX+LaTeX could help me. But after creating LaTeX font definitions I found, that the inputenc would lead me to the above problems: I changed the position of some chars in the latin2 input encoding file, and everything seemed to work. The problem of this solution is evident: consistence would break, as if I decide to write something without using my font, all my \H o characters will result as \^ o (I tried it...). So my questions are: How do KDE+X encodings influence the LyX input, howd o the .kmaps influence it? Is there a way for me to get correct output, if I want to print out books which will contain Hungarian characters? My books will also contain words from other languages, so I also need the (real) \^ glyphs: in the case the solution of the main problem would be to write a .kmap file, do I have to input the glyph's code (I mean: \^ o) manually in the document? What would make me sure that LaTeX does not convert it (\^ o) into char 244, instead of putting together the ^ and the o glyphs? Sorry for bothering you with these, but they could also help somebody... Thanks in advance Best regards Giovanni
Non-lyxish pagesetting requirements
Dear LyXers,
For a paper in some conference proceedings, I got requests for the page
layout that I have difficulties to translate to LyX/LaTeX settings.
- Margins are no problem with Geometry button: (2cm left and right, 2.5cm top
and bottom).
- no pagenumbers is easy as well: pagestyle empty.
- Script: Arial or Helvetica is somewhat more tricky: I tried with setting
LayoutDocumentZeichensatz helvet but this only changes to helvetica as
sans serif font :-(
After inserting
% sans serif as default
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
in the Latex Preamble, I got this solved as well.
(Still I think it is misleading to have helvet as an option in the
LayoutDocumentZeichensatz dropdown, as other options there change the
setting for all fonts and at least I would expect a global default change
from a change at this place.)
Now the problematic part:
- The first page (and only this) shall have a presentation number
(18 points bold) in the toprigth corner (i.e. in the right hand side of
the header - within the 2.5cm top margin)
How do I get a header just on the first page?
- The text on the first page shall start 6.5cm from the top of the page
(on page 2 ff. it shall start 2.5cm from the top)
In this 4cm space between topmargin and textstart I have to set the Title
(12 points bold) and Address.
Is there some box with settable vertical extension (easier than \hbox with
strut and parbox in it?)
If someone had a handy solution, that would save me some hours of book-reading
and trying.
Thank you
Guenter

Side by Side lists
Hello, lyxperts
Can someone explain how to do in lyx?:
\begin{minipage}[t]{2.5in}
\begin{enumerate}\itemsep -2pt
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item

\begin{enumerate}\itemsep -2pt
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item
\end{enumerate}
\end{minipage}
\end{document}
In Latex this would produce two numbered lists side by side. In lyx
I am having trouble getting second list to float next to first. Naturally
I could just put in the LaTeX code but there must be more elegant way in
Lyx.

fancy header usage question
Hi all,
I am trying to get the fancy headers package to do the following:
On the first page, no headrule. On each page thereafter, there should be
a headrule.
I have the followingt in my preamble:
\usepackage{afterpage}
\lhead{879 Lewiston Drive \\ San Jose, CA 95136}
\rhead{(408) 978-1407 \\ [EMAIL PROTECTED]}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\afterpage{\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}\lhead{\textbf{Kayvan A.

The headers are all correct, but there is no headrule on the second page.
Any help?
Thanks!

Re: Side by Side lists
Insert two minipages next to each other. Do not press enter between the two or you will start a new paragraph and the two minipages will appear one under the other. Adjust the minipage width settings by right-mouse-button clicking on the [minipage] inset label. If you want to make the minipages look spaced evenly you might try Insert-Special_character-HFill between the two minipages (and possibly on both sides. The key trick though is to ensure they are in the same paragraph. Allan. (ARRae)

The problem is that the Userguide uses symbols that are in latin1 but not in

One solution is to replace these symbols by ERT.
For example, the degree symbol can be replaced by \textdegree{} (in latex mode)

Re: Ascii Fonts
assuming you want to have some special characters in your LyX document: Have a look at http://www.lyx.org/help/symbols/textcomp.html If you'd like to use it, don't forget to mark the entry as LaTeX-code (Ctrl+L should be a hot key for it).

Encodings, X, LyX, KDE etc.
Hi all, My problem concerns LyX-LaTeX-TeX font encodings and input encodings, including KDE, X, LaTeX and, of course, LyX. It is a bit complicated (at least, for me), so I'll try to explain it in a relatively long form, repeating the questions in a shorter form at the end of this letter. I tried to install a font (say ft) under TeX-dvips. The font is a type1 font, which was previously used under windows. It is a converted font, where converted means, that special glyphs have been placed in it, namely: [\H o], [\H O], [\H u] and [\H U]. At this time there are a lot of Hungarian encodings, including the windows encs, the most popular of these put the above glyphs under the character codes originally reserved for the \^ or (better to say: XOR) the \~ versions of the respective chars (o, u). You could say: no problem, try to input \H, and the problem is solved. But the font I use, contains a \H glyph (at position 5, T1 encoding), but this one has two big problems: the first is that this glyph is not kerned anyway (which means, that the centerlineof the \H glyph does not match the o's nor the u's one) on the other side in the uppercase versions (where also vertical kerning has problems) the angle of the accents (the acuteness) is not the same of the lowercase's one (it can be proved viewing the \'O glyph and comparing it to \'o). The position of the Hungarianglyphs in this font is under the \^ version of the normal ones (\H o=244=\^ o using charterBT-roman, T1 encoding) Finally I found out that LaTeX deals also with charcodes128, so using LyX+LaTeX could help me. But after creating LaTeX font definitions I found, that the inputenc would lead me to the above problems: I changed the position of some chars in the latin2 input encoding file, and everything seemed to work. The problem of this solution is evident: consistence would break, as if I decide to write something without using my font, all my \H o characters will result as \^ o (I tried it...). So my questions are: How do KDE+X encodings influence the LyX input, howd o the .kmaps influence it? Is there a way for me to get correct output, if I want to print out books which will contain Hungarian characters? My books will also contain words from other languages, so I also need the (real) \^ glyphs: in the case the solution of the main problem would be to write a .kmap file, do I have to input the glyph's code (I mean: \^ o) manually in the document? What would make me sure that LaTeX does not convert it (\^ o) into char 244, instead of putting together the ^ and the o glyphs? Sorry for bothering you with these, but they could also help somebody... Thanks in advance Best regards Giovanni
Non-lyxish pagesetting requirements
Dear LyXers,
For a paper in some conference proceedings, I got requests for the page
layout that I have difficulties to translate to LyX/LaTeX settings.
- Margins are no problem with Geometry button: (2cm left and right, 2.5cm top
and bottom).
- no pagenumbers is easy as well: pagestyle empty.
- Script: Arial or Helvetica is somewhat more tricky: I tried with setting
LayoutDocumentZeichensatz helvet but this only changes to helvetica as
sans serif font :-(
After inserting
% sans serif as default
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
in the Latex Preamble, I got this solved as well.
(Still I think it is misleading to have helvet as an option in the
LayoutDocumentZeichensatz dropdown, as other options there change the
setting for all fonts and at least I would expect a global default change
from a change at this place.)
Now the problematic part:
- The first page (and only this) shall have a presentation number
(18 points bold) in the toprigth corner (i.e. in the right hand side of
the header - within the 2.5cm top margin)
How do I get a header just on the first page?
- The text on the first page shall start 6.5cm from the top of the page
(on page 2 ff. it shall start 2.5cm from the top)
In this 4cm space between topmargin and textstart I have to set the Title
(12 points bold) and Address.
Is there some box with settable vertical extension (easier than \hbox with
strut and parbox in it?)
If someone had a handy solution, that would save me some hours of book-reading
and trying.
Thank you
Guenter

Side by Side lists
Hello, lyxperts
Can someone explain how to do in lyx?:
\begin{minipage}[t]{2.5in}
\begin{enumerate}\itemsep -2pt
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item
\end{enumerate}

\begin{enumerate}\itemsep -2pt
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item
\end{enumerate}
\end{minipage}
\end{document}
In Latex this would produce two numbered lists side by side. In lyx
I am having trouble getting second list to float next to first. Naturally
I could just put in the LaTeX code but there must be more elegant way in
Lyx.

fancy header usage question
Hi all,
I am trying to get the fancy headers package to do the following:
On the first page, no headrule. On each page thereafter, there should be
a headrule.
I have the followingt in my preamble:
\usepackage{afterpage}
\lhead{879 Lewiston Drive \\ San Jose, CA 95136}
\rhead{(408) 978-1407 \\ [EMAIL PROTECTED]}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\afterpage{\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}\lhead{\textbf{Kayvan A.

The headers are all correct, but there is no headrule on the second page.
Any help?
Thanks!

Re: Side by Side lists
Insert two minipages next to each other. Do not press enter between the two or you will start a new paragraph and the two minipages will appear one under the other. Adjust the minipage width settings by right-mouse-button clicking on the [minipage] inset label. If you want to make the minipages look spaced evenly you might try Insert-Special_character-HFill between the two minipages (and possibly on both sides. The key trick though is to ensure they are in the same paragraph. Allan. (ARRae)

RE: Latin-2 encoding
Dear Roman, Dekel, & All,
I tryed to copy-paste the 4th chapter from the Users Guide to a new file.
I changed the dokument format to book, and the encoding to latin2.
The result was 3 errors. Latex claimed something about rotating the table.
And some another 2 errors which I cannot remember. But some simular things.
After I saved the UG as an another file & I deleted the Other chapters.
The result was the same.
I tryed with Latin, there was no problem. When I switched back to Latin2
it is appeared also.
You can reproduce the whole thing easy.
Also, how can I insert the Registered symbol, (R in a circle).
It is also a latin2 problem? How can be solved?
I think I should know what is ERT, Where is described in the manuals?
I would like to read it. Or a short description?
I will write down the error message. Maybe today I will have time for it in the
afternoon.
I will try what Dekel suggested.
Have a nice day.
Thanks for the tips.

(18 points bold) in the toprigth corner (i.e. in the right hand side of
the header - within the 2.5cm top margin)
How do I get a header just on the first page?
- The text on the first page shall start 6.5cm from the top of the page
(on page 2 ff. it shall start 2.5cm from the top)
In this 4cm space between topmargin and textstart I have to set the Title
(12 points bold) and Address.
Is there some box with settable vertical extension (easier than \hbox with
strut and parbox in it?)
If someone had a handy solution, that would save me some hours of book-reading
and trying.
Thank you

use fancy headers and write in LyX (not preamble)
\rhead{\LARGE\textbf{99}}
\afterpage{\rhead{}}

insert a table with one column/one line and insert the xstrut-command
like:

Side by Side lists
Hello, lyxperts
Can someone explain how to do in lyx?:
\begin{minipage}[t]{2.5in}
\begin{enumerate}\itemsep -2pt
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item
\end{enumerate}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}[t]{2.5in}
\begin{enumerate}\itemsep -2pt
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item
\item
\end{enumerate}
\end{minipage}
\end{document}
In Latex this would produce two numbered lists side by side. In lyx
I am having trouble getting second list to float next to first. Naturally
I could just put in the LaTeX code but there must be more elegant way in
Lyx.
Thanks

fancy header usage question
Hi all,
I am trying to get the fancy headers package to do the following:
On the first page, no headrule. On each page thereafter, there should be
a headrule.
I have the followingt in my preamble:
\usepackage{afterpage}
\lhead{879 Lewiston Drive \\ San Jose, CA 95136}
\rhead{(408) 978-1407 \\ [EMAIL PROTECTED]}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\afterpage{\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}\lhead{\textbf{Kayvan A.
Sylvan}}\rhead{\textbf{Page \thepage}}}
The headers are all correct, but there is no headrule on the second page.
Any help?
Thanks!
---Kayvan

I received very good advice on a similar problem, so I suppose it may be my turn to help here. One option is to download the rpm package with source (5.5 MB): lyx-1.1.6fix4-1.src.rpm then, rpm --rebuild lyx-1.1.6fix4-1.src.rpm This will configure and compile binaries and put them in a new rpm package somewhere on your system (in my case [RH7.2], it was created in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/lyx-1.1.6fix4-1.i386.rpm). You can then rpm -Uvh that package. Best, -- Philippe Glaziou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Re: Side by Side lists
Insert two minipages next to each other. Do not press enter between the two or you will start a new paragraph and the two minipages will appear one under the other. Adjust the minipage width settings by right-mouse-button clicking on the [minipage] inset label. If you want to make the minipages look spaced evenly you might try Insert->Special_character->HFill between the two minipages (and possibly on both sides. The key trick though is to ensure they are in the same paragraph. Allan. (ARRae)

write this in tex exactly before your second page should
start
\newpage
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{1pt}%
\lhead{\textbf{Kayvan A. Sylvan}}%
\rhead{\textbf{Page \thepage}}%
delete the afterpage command and don't use an additional pagebreak.

Same exact problem as before. I am not sure why the headrulewidth
is not doing anything (except for the first time.
Any other suggestions?
