How to use Lucida fonts
Hi! I would like to use Lucida fonts in one document, but I do not know how to do it.

Re: Multi-numbered equations
Thank you for your replies!
But in the example below from Stefano Baroni; if I write a \label{..}
and then referencing it from the text I get the section number instead.
Is it possible to correct?
Otherwise, since you write the form
1+1=2 (2), F=ma (3), A=bh (4)
is more common, how can I do that? I tried with minipages but the
equations kept coming on different lines.
Thank you for all help!

Re: Spellchecker problems on Windows
Hi! I also had a similar problem. In my case, if I do not remember wrong, it was not a problem with rights (or not completely), but of missing files. I would suggest you to do the following. Under C:\Documents and Settings\your-username\Application Data\ or under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ there should be a directory called Aspell. Inside that directory there should be another two: Dictionaries and Personal. The Personal directory should contain two files, namely en.prepl and en.pws (assuming you are using the English language). If you do not find those files (that was my case), create them: Write personal_repl-1.1 en 0 as the first line of en.prepl and personal_ws-1.1 en 0 as the first line of en.pws. Hope this is of help!

It is a real English document which is collaborated on at the latex level so

In this case for mathematics, \R for \mathds{R} and \H for \mathbf{H}

I was wondering if there are alternate svn servers for lyx as svn.lyx.org is mostly unresponsive (I don't know if it's my location or server overload).

Re: multiple authors (\and) is ert necessary
Tim, I guess what Micha means is if you need to use \and in ERT to separate authors in the author environment of a document. The answer, AFAIK, is that it depends on the class.

Haven't found one. Hypothetically it might be possible to cobble
together a layout file that dealt with this by having two author
environments (one for the last or sole author, one for any author other
than the last), but I think it would involve convincing LyX not to stick
a blank line (or bunch of blank lines) in the exported LaTeX file
between author fields, and I don't know how to do that, or even if it's
possible.
You can, of course, bind a key combination to insert the \and in ERT.
The sequence to bind would be something like
command-sequence ert-insert;self-insert \and{};

How to use Lucida fonts
Hi! I would like to use Lucida fonts in one document, but I do not know how to do it. First of all, I would like to know if LyX can be somehow configured to include Lucida (or any other font) among the available family fonts in the Text Style dialog. If this is not possible, does anyone know the appropriate latex command(s) to use Lucida? Thanks! Nicolás

Re: Multi-numbered equations
Thank you for your replies!
But in the example below from Stefano Baroni; if I write a \label{..}
and then referencing it from the text I get the section number instead.
Is it possible to correct?
Otherwise, since you write the form
1+1=2 (2), F=ma (3), A=bh (4)
is more common, how can I do that? I tried with minipages but the
equations kept coming on different lines.
Thank you for all help!

Re: Spellchecker problems on Windows
Hi! I also had a similar problem. In my case, if I do not remember wrong, it was not a problem with rights (or not completely), but of missing files. I would suggest you to do the following. Under C:\Documents and Settings\your-username\Application Data\ or under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ there should be a directory called Aspell. Inside that directory there should be another two: Dictionaries and Personal. The Personal directory should contain two files, namely en.prepl and en.pws (assuming you are using the English language). If you do not find those files (that was my case), create them: Write personal_repl-1.1 en 0 as the first line of en.prepl and personal_ws-1.1 en 0 as the first line of en.pws. Hope this is of help!

It is a real English document which is collaborated on at the latex level so

Re: multiple authors (\and) is ert necessary
Tim, I guess what Micha means is if you need to use \and in ERT to separate authors in the author environment of a document. The answer, AFAIK, is that it depends on the class.

Haven't found one. Hypothetically it might be possible to cobble
together a layout file that dealt with this by having two author
environments (one for the last or sole author, one for any author other
than the last), but I think it would involve convincing LyX not to stick
a blank line (or bunch of blank lines) in the exported LaTeX file
between author fields, and I don't know how to do that, or even if it's
possible.
You can, of course, bind a key combination to insert the \and in ERT.
The sequence to bind would be something like
command-sequence ert-insert;self-insert \and{};

Underscore in Style names
Hi, having experimented a bit with locally defined styles it seems to me that in 'normal' (paragraph) style names an underscore '_' is allowed and treated correctly, but in a character style not. Bug or feature?

Fwd: Spellchecker problems on Windows
Hi, thanks for your answer. Yes, I am running WinXP. I tried running spell checker in LyX as an administrator without success in adding new words to a dictionary. So there should not be a conflict with the rights management. Any other suggestions please? -- kurt > Hi, > I can't add words to the dictionary. Does anybody know a solution to > that please? Are you on WinXP? Do you work in LyX as an administrator or a non-administrator user? I had the same problem I guess, see http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg55105.html new english words go in a file named en.pws, new italian words go in it.pws etc. For me these files are in "documents and settings\all users\application data\aspell\personal" The point is that you need the rights to change the folder where such files reside. -- Diego http://www.ares001.altervista.org/ | __o| It is easier | _`\(,_ | to get forgiveness | (_)/ (_) | than permission
Re: Multi-numbered equations
Thank you for your replies!
But in the example below from Stefano Baroni; if I write a \label{..}
and then referencing it from the text I get the section number instead.
Is it possible to correct?
Otherwise, since you write the form
1+1=2 (2), F=ma (3), A=bh (4)
is more common, how can I do that? I tried with minipages but the
equations kept coming on different lines.
Thank you for all help!
Regards,
Hans

Dear Uwe and Hans,
it also seems to me a rather weird notation, but, for what matters, here
are a few latex lines that would do the job:
$$
\displaylines{
\hfill
1+1=2, \quad F=ma, \quad A=bh
\hfill
\llap{
\stepcounter{equation} (\theequation),
\stepcounter{equation} (\theequation),
\stepcounter{equation} (\theequation)
}
}
$$
Cheers - Stefano

I have 3 equations that I want on a single line (not inline), and
numbered individually, like this:

I don't know how to do this in one single line. But your style is
quite unusual, one either writes this
1+1=2 (2), F=ma (3), A=bh (4)
or (commonly used)
1+1=2 (2)
F=ma (3)
A=bh (4)
For more infos about using math in LyX, you can have a look at my

Edit Style
Hi. I am currently using the document class "article (AMS)" which provides a list of styles such as Theorem, Proof, Definition, Claim, etc. How could I similarly create a section/style for "Assumption #.#"? I tried googling this without much success. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much, Ken

Re: Spellchecker problems on Windows
Hi! I also had a similar problem. In my case, if I do not remember wrong, it was not a problem with rights (or not completely), but of missing files. I would suggest you to do the following. Under "C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\" or under "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\" there should be a directory called Aspell. Inside that directory there should be another two: Dictionaries and Personal. The "Personal" directory should contain two files, namely "en.prepl" and "en.pws" (assuming you are using the English language). If you do not find those files (that was my case), create them: Write "personal_repl-1.1 en 0" as the first line of "en.prepl" and "personal_ws-1.1 en 0" as the first line of "en.pws". Hope this is of help! Nicolás Ares wrote: 2007/5/7, KTl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi, thanks for your answer. Yes, I am running WinXP.

updating of indexes database fails sometimes
Hallo, I have notices that somehow the database of indexes is not being updated during consecutive views/changes of a document. Sometimes the references or formulae numbering looks like [?] (?) or things get shifted, although usually the this gets fixed after a couple of consecutive views. How can it be fixed permanently ? Thanks, Tomek
