problems with GRL (AGU) style
dear friends, I'm new in Lyx (1.5.1). I want to submit a paper to GLR, editors told me to use the agu2001.cls and grlga.sty files to get the right style but I have many problems. I followed the instruction of Help Lyx - Customization :5.2.2. A layout for a sty file, but after trying and trying...I'm giving up...I always have errors,could you help me? do I have to create a layout.lyx file? I'm using the aguplus.inc file because I don't have any agu2001.inc file, is it Ok? thank you berta
Re: First time install problem
You can take for example the Embedded Objects manual from the help menu as
starting point for your
own book. It uses the document class koma-script (book).
Thanks a lot!
Again: Using Help/Embedded Objects I get an error box
Lyx: The document class is not available
elaborating that scrbook.layout is not available.
I managed to produce a simple example, though, and found with
document/settings that lots of classes are not available, among them
KOMA contrary to what the user guide states. I reset the document
class to book and set several other options like language. This way, I
managed to produce a PDF file.
Next, I experienced two more problems,
1) I get type 3 fonts in my PDF document, which means that they are
bitmaps giving an ugly expression. They should be type 1 fonts.
2) I can't manage to place a picture on a page and let the text float
around the picture. This is extremely easy with Word, but doesn't seem
to be a problem in scientific publications, so I doubted if there is a
solution. In http://latex.tugraz.at/fortgeschrittene.php#grafiken I
found
\usepackage{floatflt}
\begin{floatingfigure}[r]{0.4\textwidth}

\includegraphics[width=0.35\textwidth]{./bild.eps}

[LyX 1.5.1 Mac] AddToShipoutPicture fails (worked with 1.3)
Hi!
I have just switched from my old beloved 1.3 to the bleeding edge
1.5.1. My configuration:
- LyX 1.5.1, source: http://www.lyx.org
- teTeX, ImageMagick, source: macports
(what else is important? don't know ...)
Now I have sucessfully opened an 'old' document in 1.5.1. Trying to
compile it brings the follwing error:
LaTeX Error: File './MyBackgroundImage' not found.
and
I could not locate the file with any of these extensions:
.eps,.ps,.eps.gz,.ps.gz,.eps.Z
Try typing return to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X return to quit.
One of these for each page of my document. That makes sense, because
my preamble looks like this:
\renewenvironment{figure}[1][tbph]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\AddToShipoutPicture{\BackgroundPicture{./MyBackgroundImage}{0}}
The Image file sits in the current working directory, and it's a
JPEG. This used to work fine in 1.3, and it also works fine on my
mates Windows LyX-1.5.1-Installation.
So, what's wrong here? I guess I forgot to install a certain piece of
software.
Any hints welcome!

That is very strange, this file MUST be there after you have installed LyX.

You need to clean up your system!, (having two MikTeX installations causes often troubles and LyX
1.5.0 was replaced immediately by LyX 1.5.1 due to a serious bug, so that this should not be used):
- Uninstall LyX 1.5.1,
- uninstall LyX 1.5.0,
- uninstall MikTeX 2.7 _completely_ (note that MikTeX 2.7 is a beta and not for
daily usage!),
- uninstall MiKTeX 2.6.
(You need admin priviledges of course).
- Restart your PC,
- now reinstall LyX 1.5.1 using the complete version of the LyXWinInstaller (with an open internet
connection!).
Then it should work.

Lyx 1.5.1 ignores preamble in layout file
Hi there,
Does anyone know if anything changed from version 1.4.2 to 1.5.x regarding the
layout file and especially with regard to the preamble section on such a
file? I have my one document class layout file (modification of article
class) with a preamble section at the start. This worked fine with all
versions of LyX until I upgraded to 1.5.1 - now it seems everything after the
start of the preamble section is ignored.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I include a copy of my layout file as
an attachment.

Preambles still amble along. The problem is the copyright symbol in the
footer:
\cfoot{PROPRIETARY\\\vspace{2mm}Copyright © 2004 NECSA, CompuSim AB}
For whatever reason, LyX can't digest it. (In the shell window, you'll
see a message about an illegal byte sequence; unfortunately, it's hard
to tell which byte in the sequence is the offender. Since the copyright
symbol was the only oddball there, I guessed -- correctly -- that it was
the culprit.)
I don't begin to understand all the different encodings -- as far as I'm
concerned, if I don't see a symbol on my keyboard, it doesn't exist --
and I don't know what changed between 1.4.x and 1.5.x to make it
intolerant of that symbol, but the bottom line is that if you delete it,
the layout seems to work. My guess is that if you replace it with
\copyright, you should be fine.

Errors when outputting a document using True Small Caps with Utopia font
I've run into a strange problem outputting a document that uses true small caps with the Adobe Utopia font. First off, I am using LyX 1.5.1 for Windows with MiKTeX 2.6. The problem below occurred with both the standard installer and alternative installer versions of LyX. The simplest way to recreate it is to create a new file and enter some text. Mark some of the text as a noun so that it uses small caps. Now change the document font to Utopia under Document Settings Fonts. If I do not check the use true Small Caps option then the document outputs to dvi, ps, and pdf(pdflatex) normally. If I do check the option then dvi output works, but the fonts for the small-capped words fail to load and default to computer modern while giving the error appended at the end of this email. Postscript output works, but the glyphs for the small-capped text do not appear and the page is blank where they should have been. PDF output fails entirely with the following error message: File does not exist: C:/Documents and Settings/Fareed/Local Settings/Temp/lyx_tmpdir2436a00728/lyx_tmpbuf0/Small-Caps.pdf I first thought it must be that MiKTeX did not have the utopia fonts installed properly for some reason, but checking MiKTeX revealed that the package was installed and updated. Next I thought it might be some configuration problem, but reconfiguring LyX didn't help either. I tried uninstalling Lyx and reinstalling with the standard installer (what I had used previously) but the problem persisted. I then uninstalled MiKTeX and LyX and reinstalled both, this time using the alternative installer, and once again the problem persisted. I am including a small .lyx file that exhibits the problem for me. I don't know if the issue is that the glyphs for true small caps in utopia either aren't installing for me, or that the font doesn't actually have small cap glyphs but LyX somehow thinks it does, and therefore presents the checkbox option. It is not a serious issue, since everything seems to work fine when not using the true small caps option, but not being able to use the proper small caps glyphs kind of gets under my skin. I couldn't fix it so I am mentioning it to the list. Finally, let me also thank the devs of LyX for all their hard work on this marvelous program — I absolutely adore using it!

You need to clean up your system!, (having two MikTeX installations causes often troubles and LyX
1.5.0 was replaced immediately by LyX 1.5.1 due to a serious bug, so that this should not be used):
- Uninstall LyX 1.5.1,
- uninstall LyX 1.5.0,
- uninstall MikTeX 2.7 _completely_ (note that MikTeX 2.7 is a beta and not for
daily usage!),
- uninstall MiKTeX 2.6.
(You need admin priviledges of course).
- Restart your PC,
- now reinstall LyX 1.5.1 using the complete version of the LyXWinInstaller (with an open internet
connection!).
Then it should work.
Ok, they say:

Lyx 1.5.1 ignores preamble in layout file
Hi there,
Does anyone know if anything changed from version 1.4.2 to 1.5.x regarding the
layout file and especially with regard to the preamble section on such a
file? I have my one document class layout file (modification of article
class) with a preamble section at the start. This worked fine with all
versions of LyX until I upgraded to 1.5.1 - now it seems everything after the
start of the preamble section is ignored.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I include a copy of my layout file as
an attachment.

Errors when outputting a document using True Small Caps with Utopia font
I've run into a strange problem outputting a document that uses true small caps with the Adobe Utopia font. First off, I am using LyX 1.5.1 for Windows with MiKTeX 2.6. The problem below occurred with both the standard installer and alternative installer versions of LyX. The simplest way to recreate it is to create a new file and enter some text. Mark some of the text as a noun so that it uses small caps. Now change the document font to Utopia under Document Settings Fonts. If I do not check the use true Small Caps option then the document outputs to dvi, ps, and pdf(pdflatex) normally. If I do check the option then dvi output works, but the fonts for the small-capped words fail to load and default to computer modern while giving the error appended at the end of this email. Postscript output works, but the glyphs for the small-capped text do not appear and the page is blank where they should have been. PDF output fails entirely with the following error message: File does not exist: C:/Documents and Settings/Fareed/Local Settings/Temp/lyx_tmpdir2436a00728/lyx_tmpbuf0/Small-Caps.pdf I first thought it must be that MiKTeX did not have the utopia fonts installed properly for some reason, but checking MiKTeX revealed that the package was installed and updated. Next I thought it might be some configuration problem, but reconfiguring LyX didn't help either. I tried uninstalling Lyx and reinstalling with the standard installer (what I had used previously) but the problem persisted. I then uninstalled MiKTeX and LyX and reinstalled both, this time using the alternative installer, and once again the problem persisted. I am including a small .lyx file that exhibits the problem for me. I don't know if the issue is that the glyphs for true small caps in utopia either aren't installing for me, or that the font doesn't actually have small cap glyphs but LyX somehow thinks it does, and therefore presents the checkbox option. It is not a serious issue, since everything seems to work fine when not using the true small caps option, but not being able to use the proper small caps glyphs kind of gets under my skin. I couldn't fix it so I am mentioning it to the list. Finally, let me also thank the devs of LyX for all their hard work on this marvelous program — I absolutely adore using it!

problems with GRL (AGU) style
dear friends, I'm new in Lyx (1.5.1). I want to submit a paper to GLR, editors told me to use the agu2001.cls and grlga.sty files to get the right style but I have many problems. I followed the instruction of "Help Lyx - Customization :5.2.2. A layout for a sty file", but after trying and trying...I'm giving up...I always have errors,could you help me? do I have to create a layout.lyx file? I'm using the aguplus.inc file because I don't have any agu2001.inc file, is it Ok? thank you berta
Re: First time install problem

Thanks a lot!
Again: Using Help/Embedded Objects I get an error box
Lyx: The document class is not available
elaborating that scrbook.layout is not available.
I managed to produce a simple example, though, and found with
document/settings that lots of classes are not available, among them
KOMA contrary to what the user guide states. I reset the document
class to book and set several other options like language. This way, I
managed to produce a PDF file.
Next, I experienced two more problems,
1) I get type 3 fonts in my PDF document, which means that they are
bitmaps giving an ugly expression. They should be type 1 fonts.
2) I can't manage to place a picture on a page and let the text float
around the picture. This is extremely easy with Word, but doesn't seem
to be a problem in scientific publications, so I doubted if there is a
solution. In http://latex.tugraz.at/fortgeschrittene.php#grafiken I
found
\usepackage{floatflt}
\begin{floatingfigure}[r]{0.4\textwidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.35\textwidth]{./bild.eps}
\caption{Das ist mein Bild}

or
\usepackage{picins}

I guess there is no other way than hand coding, right?

The last time you wrote that this works now, so I don't understand what happened. Do you have the

[LyX 1.5.1 Mac] AddToShipoutPicture fails (worked with 1.3)
Hi!
I have just switched from my old beloved 1.3 to the bleeding edge
1.5.1. My configuration:
- LyX 1.5.1, source: http://www.lyx.org
- teTeX, ImageMagick, source: macports
(what else is important? don't know ...)
Now I have sucessfully opened an 'old' document in 1.5.1. Trying to
compile it brings the follwing error:
LaTeX Error: File './MyBackgroundImage' not found.
and
I could not locate the file with any of these extensions:
.eps,.ps,.eps.gz,.ps.gz,.eps.Z
Try typingto proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X to quit.
One of these for each page of my document. That makes sense, because
my preamble looks like this:
\renewenvironment{figure}[1][tbph]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\AddToShipoutPicture{\BackgroundPicture{./MyBackgroundImage}{0}}
The Image file sits in the current working directory, and it's a
JPEG. This used to work fine in 1.3, and it also works fine on my
mates Windows LyX-1.5.1-Installation.
So, what's wrong here? I guess I forgot to install a certain piece of
software.
Any hints welcome!
Regards
André
