Path problem pdf output in Lyx for Win32
I'm a Unix user, but have to set up 2 windows computers for LyX. The 1.3.5 edition of Lyx for Win32 works very well as far as I can tell. I can enter equations and view them in dvi. For some reason, yap always opens minimized, but that's OK by me. I think the troubles I find are caused by the fact that the user home dir has spaces in it. User home directories are in C:\Documents And Settings\username. Users want to put lyx files under My Documents in there and then lyx does not work there. So, what to do? Has anybody found a way to reconfigure windows and rename the home dir to C:\DocumentsAndSettings for all users? In Edit/Preferences/Path, I changed the working directory to C:\Windows\Temp. But it will not do to have all users writing in there. Pdf output fails, no matter what i do. It fails either if I want to view in acrord32 or save to disk. I believe it is due to path problems, because lyx keeps creating a directory C:\Documents but that is empty. -- Paul E.

We've fixed LyX 1.3.6 all over the place in our attempts to get it to run 'as expected' on Windows. Two problems are still to be addressed: * lyx2lyx doesn't like file names with spaces * you can't input such a file in the graphics etc dialogs using the browser. Note, however, that .dvi files will need to be post-processed if they refer to graphics files containing spaces. See http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/FilesWithSpecialChars and the clean_dvi.py script. Basically, spaces in file names lead to all sorts of problems that we've tried hard to resolve. Only real-world usage will show whether we've been successful or not. Other than the remaining issues described above, it looks like the merger of Ruurd's LyX/Win port into the official LyX sources is just about complete. In Edit/Preferences/Path, I changed the working directory to C:\Windows\Temp. But it will not do to have all users writing in there. I'm currently playing with LyX 1.3.6 which I have installed in C:\Program Files\LyX. It tries to use the proper Windows locations for its various paths, although you can reset the document and temp directories in your preferences file. The default settings (as output by lyx -dbg init running from a MinGW console) are: package binary_dir c:/Program Files/LyX/bin/ system_support c:/Program Files/LyX/Resources/lyx/ user_support C:/Documents and Settings/Angus/Application Data/lyx/ locale_dir c:/Program Files/LyX/Resources/locale/ document_dir C:/Documents and Settings/Angus/My Documents temp_dir C:/Documents and Settings/Angus/Local Settings/Temp/ home_dir C:/Documents and Settings/Angus /package I have no difficulty viewing a pdf of the UserGuide (generated by pdflatex (MikTeX 2.4) from C:\Documents and Settings\Angus\Desktop\UserGuide.lyx) using gsview32 (version 4.6) or AcroRd32 (version 7.0), so it looks like we're making progress.

I've also tried the 8.3 version of the path name, but it contains a tilde that throws off some Unix tools. Finally gave up and created a separate, space-free path for LyX docs. As a workaround until the much-anticipated 1.3.6 arrives, you might set up separate LyX doc directories for each user (with user-specific permissions, if desired) and then use a file synchronization utility to synch a user's LyX directory with an appropriate subdirectory under My Docs. I use SynchronX, but there's a few of them out there. Pdf output fails, no matter what i do. It fails either if I want to view in acrord32 or save to disk. I believe it is due to path problems, because lyx keeps creating a directory C:\Documents but that is empty. Sounds likely. One other thing to keep in mind about PDFs on Windows v. Unix (using Acrobat Reader): if you try to View-PDF (regular, dvipdfm or pdflatex) while Reader is open, the operation will fail with an error message saying that Reader can't find the file. There are two workarounds: either close Reader before issuing View-PDF, or set up a custom export command 'acrord32 %%FName' and then use File-Export-Custom to export the PDF to Reader (which will display it even if Reader is already open). And speaking of Windows quirks, you can't type 'acrord32 %%FName' into the File-Export-Custom dialog for some reason; you have to manually hack your preferences file and insert the line custom_export_command acrord32 %%FName (one more reason 1.3.6 is *eagerly* anticipated). -- Paul

I shall concede that. I have little knowledge of the arcana of the LyX format, so I am in no position do decide whether the output of tex2lyx is equal, better, or worse, than that of reLyX (which, I also concede, might be a relic ;) My only point is that reLyX makes some `mish-mash' intelligible to lyx2lyx, and then you still have to upgrade this mish-mash into LyX 221. In other words, a two step process is necessary anyway. I still use the `old' reLyX script, for tex2lyx, in its current incarnation, is too bloated to my taste, and I have to reconvert the output to LyX 221 anyway. tex2lyx is bloated? For what definition of bloated? Well: I downloaded the binary from the Wiki page, and it expands to up to 2.5 Mb, while the existing combo reLyX/lyx2lyx takes about 2Mb (including the required python/perl libraries and executables). Two things that it does do, which reLyX does not, is understand most 'reasonable' LaTeX and generate a consistent .lyx file. Having no clue about the consistency of LyX, I must concede the second point; as for the first, reLyX has had no trouble so far with my rather idiosyncratic LaTeX files... To convert my LaTeX files into LyX I made the following batch file (tex2lyx.bat): @echo off rem Wrapper script for Win32 rem written by Ruurd Reitsma rem shamelessly hacked by Jose-Luis Rivera set PERLLIB=%~p0\..\lib set PYTHONPATH=%~p0\lib;%~p0\dlls %~p0\perl.exe -S %~p0\reLyX -f %1 %2 %3 ren %~n1.lyx rlx %~p0\python.exe -S %~p0\..\share\lyx\lyx2lyx\lyx2lyx -t 221 -o %~n1.lyx rlx del rlx set PERLLIB= set PYTHONPATH= - then I changed the call in Edit/Preferences/Converters/tex - LyX, to `tex2lyx $$i', and voilà! I named the batch file `tex2lyx' in the assumption that, someday, this shall be the name of the right utility to call. If you have any substantive problems with tex2lyx, then PLEASE bring them forward. I have no substantive problems with tex2lyx, save that it seems to me a little redundant for Ruurd's distribution. As I said, all I did was a little hacking of Ruurd's reLyX.bat file and I got my stuff. Before that, I downloaded and tested (succesfully) the experimental tex2lyx available at the wiki page, then realizing that I had to reformat the output with lyx2lyx anyway. So I patched a little batch to run lyx2lyx from console, and then it strucked me that with a little hacking to Ruurd's original kludge, I could get the two phases (reLyX/tex2lyx-lyx2lyx) done in one single shot. That's what I did. We rely on your feedback to improve it. Now I take your suggestion: do you think it viable to have tex2lyx built into LyX itself, like the converter going the other way around?This way we could use `lyx --import latex filename.tex', the way we use `lyx --export latex filename.lyx').

Re: More Greek tribulations--help with font installation
Stefano Franchi [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
thanks for the help and the suggestions. Unfortunately the problem is
not with \emph. I tried using the new \emph{}, but I still get the same

LaTeX Font Info:Try loading font information for LGR+ptm on input

From what I've (recently) read that means that LaTex is looking for the
font Adobe Times (ptm) in the LGR encoding, in italic shape (i), cannot
find it, and substitutes cmr (computer modern?) normal shape in LGR
encoding. So the problems has to do with font installation and/or
mappings, because the typesetting of Greek should use the cbgreek
fonts. Which, I believe, all star with a g in their
filename/description. So there is something wrong in how LaTeX selects
the fonts, but I know too little about LaTeX/TeX to fix the problem...
You're right: seems that you're trying to use Times. You might have chosen
this font for your document in LyX Layout menu to have outlined fonts instead
of raster fonts in the output (your original problem, as far as I can recall).
Since there is no such a thing as LGR encoded fonts for Postscript Times, you
get font substitution, or no output...
Again, I suggest you to use the cm-lgc package. Alexej just uploaded a newer
version to CTAN a couple of days ago, now including OT1 and OT2 for Latin and
Cyrillic. Greek is fully LGC compliant.
Good luck,
Luis.

Path problem pdf output in Lyx for Win32
I'm a Unix user, but have to set up 2 windows computers for LyX. The 1.3.5 edition of Lyx for Win32 works very well as far as I can tell. I can enter equations and view them in dvi. For some reason, yap always opens minimized, but that's OK by me. I think the troubles I find are caused by the fact that the user home dir has spaces in it. User home directories are in C:\Documents And Settings\username. Users want to put lyx files under My Documents in there and then lyx does not work there. So, what to do? Has anybody found a way to reconfigure windows and rename the home dir to C:\DocumentsAndSettings for all users? In Edit/Preferences/Path, I changed the working directory to C:\Windows\Temp. But it will not do to have all users writing in there. Pdf output fails, no matter what i do. It fails either if I want to view in acrord32 or save to disk. I believe it is due to path problems, because lyx keeps creating a directory C:\Documents but that is empty. -- Paul E.

We've fixed LyX 1.3.6 all over the place in our attempts to get it to run 'as expected' on Windows. Two problems are still to be addressed: * lyx2lyx doesn't like file names with spaces * you can't input such a file in the graphics etc dialogs using the browser. Note, however, that .dvi files will need to be post-processed if they refer to graphics files containing spaces. See http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/FilesWithSpecialChars and the clean_dvi.py script. Basically, spaces in file names lead to all sorts of problems that we've tried hard to resolve. Only real-world usage will show whether we've been successful or not. Other than the remaining issues described above, it looks like the merger of Ruurd's LyX/Win port into the official LyX sources is just about complete. In Edit/Preferences/Path, I changed the working directory to C:\Windows\Temp. But it will not do to have all users writing in there. I'm currently playing with LyX 1.3.6 which I have installed in C:\Program Files\LyX. It tries to use the proper Windows locations for its various paths, although you can reset the document and temp directories in your preferences file. The default settings (as output by lyx -dbg init running from a MinGW console) are: package binary_dir c:/Program Files/LyX/bin/ system_support c:/Program Files/LyX/Resources/lyx/ user_support C:/Documents and Settings/Angus/Application Data/lyx/ locale_dir c:/Program Files/LyX/Resources/locale/ document_dir C:/Documents and Settings/Angus/My Documents temp_dir C:/Documents and Settings/Angus/Local Settings/Temp/ home_dir C:/Documents and Settings/Angus /package I have no difficulty viewing a pdf of the UserGuide (generated by pdflatex (MikTeX 2.4) from C:\Documents and Settings\Angus\Desktop\UserGuide.lyx) using gsview32 (version 4.6) or AcroRd32 (version 7.0), so it looks like we're making progress.

I've also tried the 8.3 version of the path name, but it contains a tilde that throws off some Unix tools. Finally gave up and created a separate, space-free path for LyX docs. As a workaround until the much-anticipated 1.3.6 arrives, you might set up separate LyX doc directories for each user (with user-specific permissions, if desired) and then use a file synchronization utility to synch a user's LyX directory with an appropriate subdirectory under My Docs. I use SynchronX, but there's a few of them out there. Pdf output fails, no matter what i do. It fails either if I want to view in acrord32 or save to disk. I believe it is due to path problems, because lyx keeps creating a directory C:\Documents but that is empty. Sounds likely. One other thing to keep in mind about PDFs on Windows v. Unix (using Acrobat Reader): if you try to View-PDF (regular, dvipdfm or pdflatex) while Reader is open, the operation will fail with an error message saying that Reader can't find the file. There are two workarounds: either close Reader before issuing View-PDF, or set up a custom export command 'acrord32 %%FName' and then use File-Export-Custom to export the PDF to Reader (which will display it even if Reader is already open). And speaking of Windows quirks, you can't type 'acrord32 %%FName' into the File-Export-Custom dialog for some reason; you have to manually hack your preferences file and insert the line custom_export_command acrord32 %%FName (one more reason 1.3.6 is *eagerly* anticipated). -- Paul

I shall concede that. I have little knowledge of the arcana of the LyX format, so I am in no position do decide whether the output of tex2lyx is equal, better, or worse, than that of reLyX (which, I also concede, might be a relic ;) My only point is that reLyX makes some `mish-mash' intelligible to lyx2lyx, and then you still have to upgrade this mish-mash into LyX 221. In other words, a two step process is necessary anyway. I still use the `old' reLyX script, for tex2lyx, in its current incarnation, is too bloated to my taste, and I have to reconvert the output to LyX 221 anyway. tex2lyx is bloated? For what definition of bloated? Well: I downloaded the binary from the Wiki page, and it expands to up to 2.5 Mb, while the existing combo reLyX/lyx2lyx takes about 2Mb (including the required python/perl libraries and executables). Two things that it does do, which reLyX does not, is understand most 'reasonable' LaTeX and generate a consistent .lyx file. Having no clue about the consistency of LyX, I must concede the second point; as for the first, reLyX has had no trouble so far with my rather idiosyncratic LaTeX files... To convert my LaTeX files into LyX I made the following batch file (tex2lyx.bat): @echo off rem Wrapper script for Win32 rem written by Ruurd Reitsma rem shamelessly hacked by Jose-Luis Rivera set PERLLIB=%~p0\..\lib set PYTHONPATH=%~p0\lib;%~p0\dlls %~p0\perl.exe -S %~p0\reLyX -f %1 %2 %3 ren %~n1.lyx rlx %~p0\python.exe -S %~p0\..\share\lyx\lyx2lyx\lyx2lyx -t 221 -o %~n1.lyx rlx del rlx set PERLLIB= set PYTHONPATH= - then I changed the call in Edit/Preferences/Converters/tex - LyX, to `tex2lyx $$i', and voilà! I named the batch file `tex2lyx' in the assumption that, someday, this shall be the name of the right utility to call. If you have any substantive problems with tex2lyx, then PLEASE bring them forward. I have no substantive problems with tex2lyx, save that it seems to me a little redundant for Ruurd's distribution. As I said, all I did was a little hacking of Ruurd's reLyX.bat file and I got my stuff. Before that, I downloaded and tested (succesfully) the experimental tex2lyx available at the wiki page, then realizing that I had to reformat the output with lyx2lyx anyway. So I patched a little batch to run lyx2lyx from console, and then it strucked me that with a little hacking to Ruurd's original kludge, I could get the two phases (reLyX/tex2lyx-lyx2lyx) done in one single shot. That's what I did. We rely on your feedback to improve it. Now I take your suggestion: do you think it viable to have tex2lyx built into LyX itself, like the converter going the other way around?This way we could use `lyx --import latex filename.tex', the way we use `lyx --export latex filename.lyx').

Re: More Greek tribulations--help with font installation
Stefano Franchi [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
thanks for the help and the suggestions. Unfortunately the problem is
not with \emph. I tried using the new \emph{}, but I still get the same
problem. LaTeX cannot find the proper font for rendering italicized
Greek. In fact, in the log file I get:
LaTeX Font Info:Try loading font information for LGR+ptm on input
line 96.
LaTeX Font Info:No file LGRptm.fd. on input line 96.
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `LGR/ptm/m/it' undefined

LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `LGR/ptm/m/n' undefined
(Font) using `LGR/cmr/m/n' instead on input line 96.
From what I've (recently) read that means that LaTex is looking for the
font Adobe Times (ptm) in the LGR encoding, in italic shape (i), cannot
find it, and substitutes cmr (computer modern?) normal shape in LGR
encoding. So the problems has to do with font installation and/or
mappings, because the typesetting of Greek should use the cbgreek
fonts. Which, I believe, all star with a g in their
filename/description. So there is something wrong in how LaTeX selects
the fonts, but I know too little about LaTeX/TeX to fix the problem...
You're right: seems that you're trying to use Times. You might have chosen
this font for your document in LyX Layout menu to have outlined fonts instead
of raster fonts in the output (your original problem, as far as I can recall).
Since there is no such a thing as LGR encoded fonts for Postscript Times, you
get font substitution, or no output...
Again, I suggest you to use the cm-lgc package. Alexej just uploaded a newer
version to CTAN a couple of days ago, now including OT1 and OT2 for Latin and
Cyrillic. Greek is fully LGC compliant.
Good luck,
Luis.

Path problem & pdf output in Lyx for Win32

For some reason, yap always opens minimized, but that's OK by me. I think the troubles I find are caused by the fact that the user home dir has spaces in it. User home directories are in C:\Documents And Settings\username. Users want to put lyx files under "My Documents" in there and then lyx does not work there. So, what to do? Has anybody found a way to reconfigure windows and rename the home dir to C:\DocumentsAndSettings for all users? In Edit/Preferences/Path, I changed the working directory to C:\Windows\Temp. But it will not do to have all users writing in there. Pdf output fails, no matter what i do. It fails either if I want to view in acrord32 or save to disk.

The workaround I proposed in the wiki (script tex2lyx.sh, which converts all lyx files in the current dir to 221) is a poor one, but I can't imagine better unless lyx2lyx knows about dependencies. An external script retrieving file dependencies would be welcome, unless it already exists, either in latex or in lyx. In fact, \listfiles does it, but it mixes things w.r.t what tex2lyx does. A good idea would be perhaps to add an output to tex2lyx enumerating the full or relative path of the converted files, but IMHO an external script would be more useful in the future (the current retroconversion will not be necessary when 1.4 is released). -- Jean-Pierre

We've fixed LyX 1.3.6 all over the place in our attempts to get it to run 'as expected' on Windows. Two problems are still to be addressed: * lyx2lyx doesn't like "file names with spaces" * you can't input such a file in the graphics etc dialogs using the browser. Note, however, that .dvi files will need to be post-processed if they refer to graphics files containing spaces. See http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/FilesWithSpecialChars and the clean_dvi.py script. Basically, spaces in file names lead to all sorts of problems that we've tried hard to resolve. Only real-world usage will show whether we've been successful or not. Other than the remaining issues described above, it looks like the merger of Ruurd's LyX/Win port into the official LyX sources is just about complete. In Edit/Preferences/Path, I changed the working directory to C:\Windows\Temp. But it will not do to have all users writing in there. I'm currently playing with LyX 1.3.6 which I have installed in C:\Program Files\LyX. It tries to use the proper Windows locations for its various paths, although you can reset the document and temp directories in your preferences file. The default settings (as output by "lyx -dbg init" running from a MinGW console) are: binary_dir c:/Program Files/LyX/bin/ system_support c:/Program Files/LyX/Resources/lyx/ user_support C:/Documents and Settings/Angus/Application Data/lyx/ locale_dir c:/Program Files/LyX/Resources/locale/ document_dir C:/Documents and Settings/Angus/My Documents temp_dir C:/Documents and Settings/Angus/Local Settings/Temp/ home_dir C:/Documents and Settings/Angus I have no difficulty viewing a pdf of the UserGuide (generated by pdflatex (MikTeX 2.4) from C:\Documents and Settings\Angus\Desktop\UserGuide.lyx) using gsview32 (version 4.6) or AcroRd32 (version 7.0), so it looks like we're making progress. Pdf output fails, no matter what i do. It fails either if I want to view in acrord32 or save to disk. I believe it is due to path problems, because lyx keeps creating a directory C:\Documents but that is empty. Yes, LyX 1.3.5 really isn't set up to handle spaces in paths. Kind regards, Angus

Another workaround is to replace the 1.3 version of lyx2lyx with a slightly hacked 1.4 version (including the various .py files). You need to set end_format = '221' in parse_options() in lyx2lyx to change the default output format. LyX 1.3 should be able to read 1.4 files after that, so you don't need to convert included files explicitly. Feel free to add this to the wiki (with a bit more explanation) if it works for you, I don't have the time at the moment. Georg

I've also tried the "8.3" version of the path name, but it contains a tilde that throws off some Unix tools. Finally gave up and created a separate, space-free path for LyX docs. As a workaround until the much-anticipated 1.3.6 arrives, you might set up separate LyX doc directories for each user (with user-specific permissions, if desired) and then use a file synchronization utility to synch a user's LyX directory with an appropriate subdirectory under My Docs. I use SynchronX, but there's a few of them out there. Pdf output fails, no matter what i do. It fails either if I want to view in acrord32 or save to disk. I believe it is due to path problems, because lyx keeps creating a directory C:\Documents but that is empty. Sounds likely. One other thing to keep in mind about PDFs on Windows v. Unix (using Acrobat Reader): if you try to View->PDF (regular, dvipdfm or pdflatex) while Reader is open, the operation will fail with an error message saying that Reader can't find the file. There are two workarounds: either close Reader before issuing View->PDF, or set up a custom export command 'acrord32 %%FName' and then use File->Export->Custom to "export" the PDF to Reader (which will display it even if Reader is already open). And speaking of Windows quirks, you can't type 'acrord32 %%FName' into the File->Export->Custom dialog for some reason; you have to manually hack your preferences file and insert the line custom_export_command "acrord32 %%FName" (one more reason 1.3.6 is *eagerly* anticipated). -- Paul

I have little knowledge of the arcana of the LyX format, so I am in no position do decide whether the output of tex2lyx is equal, better, or worse, than that of reLyX (which, I also concede, might be a relic ;) My only point is that reLyX makes some `mish-mash' intelligible to lyx2lyx, and then you still have to "upgrade" this mish-mash into LyX 221. In other words, a two step process is necessary anyway. >> I still use the `old' reLyX script, for tex2lyx, in its current >> incarnation, is too bloated to my taste, and I have to reconvert the >> output to LyX 221 anyway. > > tex2lyx is bloated? For what definition of bloated? Well: I downloaded the binary from the Wiki page, and it expands to up to 2.5 Mb, while the existing combo reLyX/lyx2lyx takes about 2Mb (including the required python/perl libraries and executables). >Two things that it >does do, which reLyX does not, is understand most 'reasonable' LaTeX and >generate a consistent .lyx file. > Having no clue about the consistency of LyX, I must concede the second point; as for the first, reLyX has had no trouble so far with my rather idiosyncratic LaTeX files... To convert my LaTeX files into LyX I made the following batch file (tex2lyx.bat): @echo off rem Wrapper script for Win32 rem written by Ruurd Reitsma rem shamelessly hacked by Jose-Luis Rivera set PERLLIB=%~p0\..\lib set PYTHONPATH=%~p0\lib;%~p0\dlls %~p0\perl.exe -S %~p0\reLyX -f %1 %2 %3 ren %~n1.lyx rlx %~p0\python.exe -S %~p0\..\share\lyx\lyx2lyx\lyx2lyx -t 221 -o %~n1.lyx rlx del rlx set PERLLIB= set PYTHONPATH= - then I changed the call in Edit/Preferences/Converters/tex -> LyX, to `tex2lyx $$i', and voilà! I named the batch file `tex2lyx' in the assumption that, someday, this shall be the name of the right utility to call. >If you have any substantive problems with tex2lyx, then PLEASE bring them >forward. I have no substantive problems with tex2lyx, save that it seems to me a little redundant for Ruurd's distribution. As I said, all I did was a little hacking of Ruurd's reLyX.bat file and I got my stuff. Before that, I downloaded and tested (succesfully) the experimental tex2lyx available at the wiki page, then realizing that I had to reformat the output with lyx2lyx anyway. So I patched a little batch to run lyx2lyx from console, and then it strucked me that with a little hacking to Ruurd's original kludge, I could get the two phases (reLyX/tex2lyx-lyx2lyx) done in one single shot. That's what I did. > We rely on your feedback to improve it. Now I take your suggestion: do you think it viable to have tex2lyx built into LyX itself, like the converter going the other way around?This way we could use `lyx --import latex filename.tex', the way we use `lyx --export latex filename.lyx'). Should I write the developers suggesting this integration? >However, please do not >suggest to people on this list that they use reLyX in preference to >tex2lyx. reLyX is a broken hack and unsupported nightmare.

You're right: seems that you're trying to use Times. You might have chosen
this font for your document in LyX Layout menu to have outlined fonts instead
of raster fonts in the output (your original problem, as far as I can recall).
Since there is no such a thing as LGR encoded fonts for Postscript Times, you
get font substitution, or no output...
Again, I suggest you to use the cm-lgc package. Alexej just uploaded a newer
version to CTAN a couple of days ago, now including OT1 and OT2 for Latin and
Cyrillic. Greek is fully LGC compliant.
Good luck,
Luis.

Just add the right paths to libperl and libpython environment variables, and everything runs fine. See Ruurd's original reLyX.bat file and my home-brewed patch somewhere in this thread. BTW, you shouldn't be using reLyX: tex2lyx makes a more consistent LyX output, and has a better lyx2lyx program. Cheers, Luis.

This leads to "Window-specific settings" which is easily configured using "Detect Window Properties" (click on the main LyX window) and "Work-arounds". This also solved my "I want LyX to open maximized"-problem. -Kevin -- Kevin Pfeiffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tiros-Translations
