work from

I can be wrong though. :-)
Hi,
there is a LyX solution:
Go to LyX Preferences > Outputs > LaTeX
and in the first text field (Text encoding) replace "T1" by "default".
That suppresses the fontenc line.
Hope it works,

The other program is double clicking on a file, even one created by 1.5, opens the program which then immediately aborts (no error message). Is anyone else having similar problems? I also am not sure how to properly report a bug. -Scott I'm not following completely, mostly because I'm not having most of these problems. Can you be more specific? In particular: * In what way is opening 1.4.x documents weird? BUG: If use Finder contextual menu "Open with->Lyx1.5b2" while Lyx is NOT running, it attempts to load Lyx and aborts immediately with no error message. This happens for ANY file whether created in 1.4.x or 1.5b2. (I am not double clicking because 1.4.4 is my default app for .lyx files.) WORK AROUND for 1.5b2 files only: Loading Lyx 1.5b2 first and then doing a) Finder contextual menu "Open with->Lyx1.5b2" OR b) selecting File->Open->"file" within Lyx, works correctly for Lyx 1.5b2 files. Both a) and b) result in the error "/path/file is from a different version of LyX, but the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it." for Lyx 1.4.x files. WIERD WORK AROUND for 1.4.x files. Moving or copying a Lyx 1.4.x file to the desktop completely solves the problem. Both a) and b) work. If you don't save over the file in 1.5b2 you can repeat this several times with the same file. When moved to the desktop it works, when it is moved back it fails again. After saving over the file in 1.5b2 the file works as in the work- around above. * When does copy/paste work, and when doesn't it? (Give a recipe that reveals a problem.) * Precisely what is the export/import problem involving 1.3.7/1.4.4? No problem with these. I mentioned them as work arounds for 1.4.x files. Since then I discovered the above work around for 1.4.x files (which is more surprising to me then the original bug). -Scott I can confirm the double-clicking problem. (Actually, for me it's a matter of dragging the document icon to the LyX icon in the dock when LyX is not currently running; when LyX is running, this isn't a problem.) I'll take this up on the developer's list. Bennett -Scott

Lyx 1.4.4: pdflatex doesn't run bibtex
Hi, I'm running 1.4.4 on Mac PPC, and I've encountered a minor problem. If I try to run pdflatex (View, Update or Export on PDF(pdflatex)), then LyX fails to recognize that it needs to run bibtex and/or rerun pdflatex. However, PDF(ps2pdf) works properly, so it's not a major problem - I just run PDF(ps2pdf) first and then PDF(pdflatex). When I look at the latex log it contains the correct warnings: LaTeX Warning: Citation `TALK:D1.2a' on page 6 undefined on input line 409. ... LaTeX Warning: There were undefined references. The same problem occurs with cross-references and the TOC - but in this case I can just run PDF(pdflatex) several times in a row (but I'll have to type a space or something in between since LyX otherwise thinks that the pdf is up to date). regards, /Peter ___ _ __ __ _ _ _ peter ljunglöf, göteborgs universitet

How to change the number of rows and columns on a table?
Hi all, I'm using LyX 1.4.2. I cannot find any way to change the number of rows and/or columns on a table once I've created the table with Insert->Table. The table-settings dialog doesn't let you change the number of rows and columns. How does one change the number of rows and/or columns. I'd hate to think that when I think of a new item belonging in the table, instead of adding a row I'd need to create a new table with the right number of rows, cut and paste all cells to the new table, and delete the old one.

1.5 Beta 1 & 2 bugs (mac)
There are two problems I have been having with betas 1 & 2 on the mac (intel). First opening 1.4.x documents fails or is weird. Sometimes copy paste works. Sometimes exporting (to 1.3.7) in the 1.4.4 program then importing works. The other program is double clicking on a file, even one created by 1.5, opens the program which then immediately aborts (no error message). Is anyone else having similar problems? I also am not sure how to properly report a bug. -Scott

If you use utf8 as encoding for LaTeX the unicodesymbols file will not be used, because all these characters can be encoded in utf8. The unicodesymbols file will only be used for symbols that cannot be encoded in the choosen encoding. Use something like auto, latin1 or even ascii in the document settings.

Bug with preferred size and position ?
Hi, I found that there's a problem with LyX's new preferred size and position feature on Mac OS : If one places LyX main window at the left of the screen such that it overflows the screen edge, then the window is not positionned correctly after a LyX restart. A similar problem occurs if the window height is greater than the available screen height. The latter case may occur more frequently : if you want to take advantage of the whole screen's height without maximizing (if youdon't need/want the whole screen's width), you have to use the resize control at the bottom right corner, which leads to such a situation very easily. Indeed, while the window can easily be locked at the top, it often overflows a few pixels at the bottom... I hope that my description will be clear ;) Is this a known bug ?

If you use utf8 as encoding for LaTeX the unicodesymbols file will not be used, because all these characters can be encoded in utf8. The unicodesymbols file will only be used for symbols that cannot be encoded in the choosen encoding. Use something like auto, latin1 or even ascii in the document settings.

Did you install a CJK font? There is no CJK font present by default
(song is referenced, but not present). If you don't have one, you can
find one together with instructions here

Is there a ability to adjust this at this time? Is there a plan for implementing a dialog such this? Right now, the enumeration labels can be adjusted with latex commands. LyX does not support it directly. Note that your example will never work because of a latex limit of only 4 levels of enumeration. Mixing enumeration and unnumbered lists lets you go to 6 levels, but not 6 numbered levels. You may be able to get 6 levels by using "labeling", for some of the levels - but then those labels won't be numbered automatically. Or you can put the innermost levels in minipages. But that is cumbersome and will interfere with page breaking. Helge Hafting

Consider installing the PyWin extension modules if you're irritated by

Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event handler. Throwing
exceptions from an event handler is not supported in Qt. You must
reimplement QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions there.

This crash doesn't happen when rendering documents without Japanese.
Another CJK issue is that while I can type Japanese, I don't see the IME
popup and I don't see what I am typing. Only when pressing enter, the
text is inserted and visualized. Overal the 1.5.0 Beta 1 looks very
promissing :).

Dialog for Enumerate Symbols?
Hi list, here in lyx (1.5.0svn from today) is a nice dialog for changing symbols for "unnumbered lists" (hoping this is the right word for this): document->settings->bullets. Wouldn't it be nice to have the same thing for numbered lists? For my case (judicial schemes) i need the following structure: A. Ich I. möchte II. gerne 1.wissen, 2. wie 3. man a) in b) Lyx aa) doppelte (1) Kleinbuchstaben (2) mit bb) Nachklammer cc) wie dd) hier 4. hinbekommt 5. in 6. einem 7. Nummerierungsformat! III. Danke B. Schonmal C. im D. Voraus!

Re: Long Equation
Dan Kaplan wrote: Dear Lyx Users, I am writing an article and I want to follow IEEE format guidelines. So I'm making my article two columns. However, I have an equation which is too long for a single column. Rather than break the equation in two, the IEEE has the equation move to the bottom of the page where it can span across both columns without breaking. It is further separated from the text by a horizontal line. How can I create this with LaTeX? Use a figure float. (Or a table float or algorithm float if you prefer.) The type of float only affects the caption. A figure float may span both columns, and it can be set to appear at the bottom of the page. It will be numbered too, and the number can be used for automatic referencing. Instead of an actual graphich, put your wide formula inside the float. Take care so it doesn't accidentally get into the caption though. You can remove the caption if you don't want it - although it is generally useful to have. Helge Hafting

Please enter this to bugzilla if you don't want it to be forgotten.
