  For the logo you need the full path, but I guess you are doing that already.

  Your problem is strange, I have presentations done with beamer using eps 
files and it just works, since lyx does the convertions in the background.

file work fine when placed in C:\ directory.


Why I only have this problem with one particular figure is still very 
puzzling.




When LyX needs to display your image, it calls the convertDefault.sh 
script, which in turn calls ImageMagick's convert.exe program to convert 
test.ps to test.ppm.  ImageMagick then uses Ghostscript to read the .ps 
file.  Judging by the fact that Ghostscript "hangs open" until you close 
it, and the "missing filename" bit later on, it looks to me as if the 
ImageMagick-to-Ghostscript call might somehow have lost or mangled the 
file name (?!).  There's some relevant output just above the first line 
you quoted that would help.


If you want to investigate this possibility, try the following.  In the 
LyX Resources\scripts, find convertDefault.sh and open it with a text 
editor (e.g., notepad).  Find the lines


# converts an image from $1 to $2 format
convert -depth 8 "$1" "$2" || {

and insert

echo "Converting $1 to $2 ..."

between them.  Then run with -dbg graphics again.  You should get output 
similar to what I got (albeit with different paths):


No converter defined! I use convertDefault.sh
sh "C:/Program 
Files/LyX142/Resources/scripts/convertDefault.sh" "eps:C:
/Documents and Settings//Desktop/test.ps"

Previewing Beamer Presentation

[Rich Shepard]

  I apologize for not remembering how to preview a beamer presentation that
includes .eps graphics. It has been several months since I last wrote a set
of slides, and nothing I've tried works. I searched the beamer manual and my
e-mail file without finding anything useful.

  Right now there's only the logo image (.eps) format. No matter what I try
(ctrl-d, View->PDF4, View->pdflatex, View->ps2pdf), the application hangs. I
know that it did not do this before.

  On what may be a related issue, I'm using an existing presentation which
I'll modify (it's quicker than starting from scratch). When I open that
file, the menu changes from the abbreviated version I created (that displays
on a single line) to the full 1.4.2 default menu on two lines.

  Both of these are very strange behaviors that I would like to fix. I have
two presentations coming up in a couple of weeks and I'd like to get the
slides done now.

TIA,

Rich

Re: \noun

[Bruce Pourciau]

Thanks Jürgen and Paul. I'm now in conversation with the journal.

They accept latex files and can build from them on their e-submission  
site a pdf that the author can view for approval, but this pdf is  
only for viewing -- it has all the figures lined up at the beginning,  
for example. And in my case, for some reason, it also did not show  
italic or small caps in the correct places. The journal is not  
typeset with latex, so they must have a way to go from a latex file  
to something in their format that's at least roughly accurate. In any  
case, they have to check the latex file to see where the figures go,  
so it seems to me they can also check it to see where \emph and \noun  
= \textsc are marking italic and small caps.

No. \noun is semantic markup that uses a macro defined by LyX:

You see, it's really \textsc, but the advantage of semantic markup

can easily redefine \noun if needed (for instance, if you want the

Does your publisher really hinder you from putting the above macro

You can also use \textsc in LyX, that's in Edit->Text Style->Shape-

(which is different from Edit->Text Style->Misc->Noun).

As to \emph, this is semantic markup, defined in LaTeX2e. Its

compared to \textit is that it has italic correction.

Oh, and btw, *never* use \sc and \it instead of \textsc and \textit.

Hello Uwe,
I've found here http://www.mpch-mainz.mpg.de/~joeckel/pdflatex/
that another solution is to use the package tocbibind:

\usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind}

This instructs hyperref how to address the additional sections

However I also needed to turn off the options in the BibTeX dialogue of
LyX that generated the line in the TOC for the bibliography.

Thank you for the quick answer anyway!

Yes.  See, for instance,

You can change your temp directory in LyX to something like C:\temp or

This is what my lyx.bat looks like:
@echo off

start "LyX" "C:\LyX\LyX1.4.2\bin\lyx.exe" %*

When I comment out line "SET AIK_DATA_DIR=C:\LyX\LyX1.4.2\aiksaurus" the 
figure gets displayed fine.

Why is this line causing the problem?



It shouldn't be (and on my system it doesn't).  I have the same directory 
and the same batch file (give or take the exact path to the LyX 
directories), and when I load your test document the image previews just 
fine.  Aiksaurus is the thesaurus program used by LyX 1.4.2 (and new to 
this version), and on my system the aiksaurus folder contains two data 
files and nothing else.  Given their names (meanings.dat, words.dat), I'm 
hard-pressed to believe that ImageMagick would be mistaking them for some 
sort of input to the graphic conversion process.


One possibility comes to mind, but it's a real long-shot.  Windows has 
some overall character limit for the environment.  Back in the days of Win 
3.x, this was a royal PITA, although there were ways to tweak it.  I 
haven't had to mess with it in years, so my impression is that XP and 2K 
have gobs of environment space.  However, if you have enough environment 
variables set (and a long enough command path), maybe possibly conceivably 
you're pushing the character limit.  If you're maxed out, maybe the line 
you're commenting out ate up so enough space that the command line for 
converting your image ran out of room.  (For this to make sense, given 
your ability to display other images, I suspect this particular image 
would need to have a longer than usual name+path.)


Off-hand, the easiest way I can see to test this theory is as follows: 
Revert to the original batch file (i.e., don't comment out the aiksaurus 
line).  Open a command shell and type 'set' to see all the environment 
variables.  Pick a few that don't have anything to do with LyX or 
ImageMagick and get rid of them (by executing 'set =' with 
nothing to the right of the equal sign).  Then run lyx.bat, load your 
document and see if the image displays.


To repeat myself, this is a bit of a grope in the dark.

Having never installed a font into TeX/LaTeX/LyX, I was surprised to hear this 
was so complex as to be avoided if possible. So I just read the referenced 
documents. I think much of it can be automated into a Perl, Python or Ruby 
script (if I'm gonna write it, I prefer Ruby or maybe Perl).


The first module would be to test that everything is present. In what 
directory are the new fonts? Does that directory contain both the font files 
and the AFM files? Any other sanity checks would be put here. If it fails, a 
REALLY DESCRIPTIVE message of what's wrong and what needs to be done will be 
printed.
/*make prepare*/

The next module walks the user through Berry name renaming, giving very 
descriptive prompts explaining exactly what to do, and why. The user fills in 
everything, and then the files are renamed. This step also generates a TeX 
file to control Fontinst.
/*make berry*/

The next module runs Fontinst to generate font metrics and virtual fonts in 
human readable form, and then run pltoft to create tfm files and vptovf to 
create the vf files.
/*make metrics*/

The next module installs the fonts in the local tree. I very strongly 
recommend that the user be given the choice of specifying a directory in his 
data tree, and then symlinking that directory into the tree. In that way, the 
user doesn't need to go through Berry renaming if he gets a new computer or 
upgrades his texmf or whatever.
/*make copyfonts*/

The next module creates and installs map files for dvips, pdftex and xdvi.
/*make mapfiles*/

The next and final module runs texhash.
/*make texhash*/


IMHO this should be done as a simple state machine, which, for each font or 
font family, keeps track of which steps have been done. I could probably make 
such a state machine, but I have a feeling that someone really proficient 
with make files could do that a lot better. The make targets should be named 
very intuitively, and documented well.

Once again, I feel VERY strongly that these custom fonts should be built and 
stored in a data tree, and simply symlinked into the font trees. That way, 
this work will survive TeX updates and computer migrations. Even though this 
script will simplify things, from my reading the Berry filename renaming will 
ALWAYS be confusing and time consuming (if one wants to get it right).

I won't have any time before August 15, but maybe after that I can start on 
some of this if someone reminds me. The modular nature means several people 
can each do a piece. Anyone out there really good at make files?

Thanks

Re: \noun

[Bruce Pourciau]

  The LaTeX command is \sc (small caps); not every typeface has  
this font

defined. What is the text font in your document?


In the preamble, I have \usepackage[osf]{mathpazo}, so \noun produces  
real Palatino small caps locally (for me), but not for them. On the  
other hand, a previous tex file I uploaded had \usepackage{mathpazo}  
in the preamble (no osf), and the pdf they built from that file at  
least had the italic text in the correct places. I would think, even  
if their typeface has no true small caps, that \noun would produce  
fake small caps. And certainly \emph should produce italic, in  
general. Do I really have to go through the tex file and replace\emph  
with \it and \noun with \sc?

\noun

[Bruce Pourciau]

A paper of mine I used the Noun command in LyX to put various things  
in small caps. The exported tex file translates this into \noun. But  
the pdf that the journal built from this tex file, after it was  
uploaded on the journal's e-submission site, has no small caps. No  
does it have any italic text, which is marked by \emph in the  
exported tex file.


Do I have to force the small caps and italic with more specific  
commands?


Maybe I'll just send them a pdf built by _me_, and tell them to look  
at it. After all, they don't actually use latex to set the text of  
their journal.

A template for a wedding service

[Tim Vaughan]

Hi list,

A friend is getting married in a few months and I want to typeset the
order of service for him.  The layout will be pretty simple - before I
launch into it, has anyone done something similar to this that could
offer some pointers?

Cheers,

Tim

Changing Heading title of Bibliography

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

I have to change Bibliography to Reference list
I tried Herberts:
Changing Heading title
# Write in LaTeX-preamble or anywhere else. For book-classes:

\renewcommand\bibname{Reference list}
in the preamble
but the Bibliography stays.

How to do that?

citations and references

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

I had much help by this list recently by trying to get familiar with makebst 
to meet the requests of the publisher for citing references and the 
bibliography. However, I still have a few problems. Perhaps somebody who is 
experienced can help me.

I have produced with latex makebst a we.bst and we.dbj file and put it in
~/PP-buch/Bibtex-style>
afterward texhash (necessary?)
and selected we (.bst, not included) in the Bibtex-references popup at the end 
of my lyx document (koma-script book style).

There were, however, some mistakes I made and I tried to correct them by 
changing the we.dbj file (which should later be converted to we.bst by 
running lated we.dbj). 

MY QUESTION: In the dbj file the different decisions are given as e.g.:

%<

Insert crossref with multiple documents loaded

[Jean-Pierre Chretien]

Hello,

I have two current documents in LyX.
When I close/reopen one of them, Insert->Cross reference open the menu related 
to the
other one, and only this one.

This could be useful to cross refs between documents (e.g. multipart document) 
if
all references of the documents were citable, but there I had to close the 
other document
to recover the correct citation popup menu.

Problem with Paragraph style and Greyed out note

[Nicolás]

Hi!

I have just experience what it seems to be a bug (LyX 1.4.2 on Windows 
XP; small installer)


I have selected the paragraph style and written a title. At the 
beginning of the following line I have inserted a Greyed out note. In 
the resulting DVI it is not only the note in grey, but also the 
paragraph's title.


I guess the problem affects all styles that do not use the begin-end 
construct (i.e. there is no problem with section, description, etc).



Cheers,
Nicolás

You're right, I should have checked the PS output.
The example remains to debug the DVI problem, but I guess this is off list,
LyX insetgraphic has nothing to do with it.

An example would be great. What about latex+dvips? Does Ctrl+t show the 
graphics correctly?

Or type Ctrl+Space and then press Space (without Ctrl) repeatedly. LyX 
will then cycle through all math spacings defined in LaTeX and the AMS 
classes, 5 normal spacings (blue) of increasing size (\, \: \; \quad 
\qquad) and 3 negative spacings (red) of increasing size (\! 
\negmedspace \negthickspace).

Xfig insetgraphic scaling

[Jean-Pierre Chretien]

Hello LyXers,

I have run into this problem with a combined ps/text graphic, using the inset 
facility: 
pdflatex works fine, but parts of the textual content of the graphics do not 
scale correctly in dvi.

Is this a known bug ?
If not, I guess I can squeeze my document down to an elementary example and
post it to bugzilla.

What fileformat does your figure have? I made the experience that the
clipping coordinates are off a bit on screen for bitmap images. That
probably depends also on the converters used. Please file a bug report at
http://bugzilla.lyx.org, giving a minimal exmaple (including figure) and
converter settings
