Hello, After upgrading to 1.5.2, the interface language has changed from English to Norwegian. It is because I use a Norwegian locale. But I would like to have the English interface back.

Visual style of LyX 1.5.2

This should be possible for every Qt application (and it works with other applications I have tried) but it does not so for LyX. LyX is a Qt application under windows, isn't it? Best regards Milan

Re: Re: article(APA) does not work in 1.5.x as it did in 1.4.x WAS exporting to rtf?

When I open the very same file in 1.4.x on feisty I get a different message: The document uses a missing TeX class apa LyX will not be able to produce output. Oddly both machines have the same exact same apa.cls. The layout files do differ, but copying the feisty layout into gutsy results in the same error above, after reconfiguring. I can see that LyX is not seeing the apa.cls file on feisty (it does not show up in the TeX information panel) but kpeswhich does say it is installed. On gusty the apa.cls file does show up in TeX information. I solved this one as it seems I had some tetex classes left, I've now installed texlive on the feisty machine, apa.cls does now show up in TeX information, but the same error about the class not being available persists. I can't understand the following: #1. How I was able to create a working article(APA) document in LyX on feisty. (on an machine now upgraded to gutsy) #2. Why that file will not open on gutsy due to a unsuable layout file (where the apa.layout files in gutsy and feisty are identical). #3. Why that file will not open on feisty due to a missing TeX class (where both feisty and gutsy have installed the same texlive-publishers package that includes the apa.cls class!

This is probably because a LaTeX class or style file required by it is not available. See the Customization documentation for more information. LyX will not be able to produce output. I have not removed any packages, so I have no idea why apa.layout would now be missing, and have existed before. I can confirm that I have a "layout" file: $ dpkg -L lyx-common | grep apa.layout /usr/share/lyx/layouts/apa.layout I can also confirm I have the APA classfile: $ kpsewhich apa.cls /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/apa/apa.cls The really confusing thing is that as far as I can tell the packages I have in feisty and gusty are the same. When I open the very same file in 1.4.x on feisty I get a different message: The document uses a missing TeX class "apa" LyX will not be able to produce output. Oddly both machines have the same exact same apa.cls. The layout files do differ, but copying the feisty layout into gutsy results in the same error above, after reconfiguring. I can see that LyX is not seeing the apa.cls file on feisty (it does not show up in the TeX information panel) but kpeswhich does say it is installed. On gusty the apa.cls file does show up in TeX information. I solved this one as it seems I had some tetex classes left, I've now installed texlive on the feisty machine, apa.cls does now show up in TeX information, but the same error about the class not being available persists. I can't understand the following: #1. How I was able to create a working article(APA) document in LyX on feisty. (on an machine now upgraded to gutsy) #2. Why that file will not open on gutsy due to a "unsuable" layout file (where the apa.layout files in gutsy and feisty are identical). #3. Why that file will not open on feisty due to a "missing TeX class" (where both feisty and gutsy have installed the same texlive-publishers package that includes the apa.cls class! I I'm really lost at this point and wondering if I imagined this file worked properly using article(APA) Thanks for your time. B. Bogart Juergen Spitzmueller wrote: > B.

Re: Leopard compatibility
Am 29.10.2007 um 22:56 schrieb Christopher Menzel: Has anyone tried running LyX (any version) under Mac OS 10.5? Yep (1.5.2). Any issues? None for me. For me too. Except: I got an e-mail today from someone using Windows who could not open my PDF generated from LyX by using "Preview" and then saving the PDF. The PDF worked fine on Mac and Linux as well, but Windows said, it could not find the type. So I exported the LyX file directly from lyx in all three ways - dvipdfm - pdflatex - ps2pdf and these all worked fine also under Windows. So, maybe I just have to check my paths - but I'm too lazy tonight :-) Best wishes Bernd PS: Leopard is GREAT! ;-)

Is it possible to enlarge the font sizes for the read-only help files in LyX 1.5.2 please? Why don't you generate the .pdf file (+v,f) and zoom the text with your .pdf viewer so as to suit your needs? Alternatively, save the files somewhere else, where you have enough permissions, and change them at will. Regards, Liviu Thanks for those tips Liviu. So I can change the font sizes if I have write access to copies of those files?

Re: [Lyx 1.5.1. Win] "Document Class not available''
Thank you that was very helpful, it worked: - Looked up the necessary class name (Lyx/Document/Settings) on http://tug.ctan.org/search.html#byName - Copied the .cls or .sty file into the MikeTex folder C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.6\tex\latex\base (maybe any folder in here would work) - From the Start menu and select Miketex\Settings. In the dialog box clicked the the "RFND" button. - Then started LyX and Reconfigured (under Tools) However if I want to preview (dvi) then I get the error "document cannot be rendered properly.. does not support postscript specials'', am I missing some 'specials'? regards, Sing On Oct 29, 2007 10:07 PM, Liviu Andronic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 10/29/07, Singul4r1ty Matrix <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > - Regarding the layouts that I downloaded: both *.layout and *.lyx files > > *.layout and *.lyx files is not enough.

Re: instant preview font size
Brian Kidd writes: > how can i adjust the font size of instant preview? the size is much > larger than the surrounding, non-math, text and does not change if i > adjust the zoom of the screen fonts. Using a text editor, add the following line to the "MISC SECTION" of the preferences file: \preview_scale_factor 0.7 and adjust the 0.7 factor to suit your needs. On *nix the preferences file is located in ~/.lyx, while on Windows you can find it in %APPDATA%/lyx15. -- Enrico
ftp for 1.5.2 down
Looks like the ftp site is down right now. Is this true?Also, do you expect the current Mac build to work on Leopard?
IEICE transaction
Can someone tell me how to add the ieice.cls document class to LyX? This class is needed to submit to the IEICE transactions that is a pretty large association in Japan. The latex related files can be found here: http://www.ieice.org/ftp/tex/ieice/LaTeX2e/ regards,
