Re: Xfig and LyX
Hi Wolfgang,
I also prefer having the fontsize in figures equal to that of the surrounding
text.
If the special flag was set you encountered a bug, either in xfig,
fig2dev or in LyX. Otherwise just set the flag, and the text should be
typeset by LaTeX.
How does xfig find out the size and font I used in the document, or does it
make latex take it over?
To do that, you really need the special flag switched on for strings in
xfig. If you did not do it in your xfig files, you can change it quite
efficiently using update functionality in xfig gui, or by a script on raw
xfig file format. All strings are terminated by \001 so it is easy to detect
them and the special flag is just one of the numbers in front of the text. Do
not remember which one, you can easily find it out by diffing two files, one
with and one without the special flag.
As a second step, redefine latex macro SetFigFont in the preamble:
either
\gdef\SetFigFont#1#2#3#4#5{\relax}
or
\gdef\SetFigFontNFSS#1#2#3#4#5{\relax}
depending on the xfig version. Check one of your .pdftex_t file which version
is used in it.
Then, all texts will be typeset by the active font in latex.
Hope this helps,
Vasek

How to I right-justify exponents? {_{10}^{100}X}
Hi,
I am using LyX 1.5.5 on a Mac OS 10.4
I need to write an equation with two leading exponents. E.g:
{_{10}^{1000}X}
This equation would look (roughly) like:
1000
10 X
But I need the numbers to fit snug against the X, e.g.
1000
10X
Other people writing plain LaTeX do this. Any ideas?
Cheers,

gnumeric and lyx
Hello everyone i have to import a matrix made with gnumeric into lyx. I saved the file as a .tex file in gnumeric, and added as a child document in lyx but it doesn't compile giving me a bunch of errors.. what is the correct way to do? Thanks Assa
Re:gnumeric and lyx
What if you import your .tex file into LyX by going FileImportLaTeX (plain) Then copy and paste the bits you need into your main LyX document. Does that work? If not you might have to modify your .tex file slightly to a format that LyX supports, or include a missing package. What are the errors? Chris.
Blank Line Before \begin{itemize} in Geneterated LaTeX
Hi LyX gurus,
I've been playing with LyX lately. It has much improved since the last
time I looked at it, 6 years ago. It really looks as a nice alternative
to writing painful plain LaTeX by hand.
I can't figure out if I missed some workaround in the documentation or
if it is an undocumented feature (i.e. a bug). When I write using LyX
1.5.5 on OSX 10.15.3:
Some text followed by an itemized list:
* Some item.
* Another item.
Then some text that follows.
LyX generates the following LaTeX code:
Some text followed by an itemized list:
\begin{itemize}
\item Some item.
\item Another item.
\end{itemize}
Then some text that follows.
Why does LyX generate a blank line between list: and
\begin{itemize}? I have not been able to prevent LyX from doing so. To
get the itemized list to be considered as part of the preceding
paragraph, I only figured out the following ugly workarounds:
1. don't use LyX lists at all; instead, write all of
\[begin|item|end] commands as embedded TeX (ERT), or
2. use the verbatim package to add multi-line comments using ERT:
... list:[[ \begin{comment}]]
* [[\end{comment} \begin{itemize} \item]] Some item.
* Another Item.
Then...
Of course, neither is satisfactory. This is quite annoying, as lists are
rather common in my texts. Have I missed something? How hard would it be
for me to change whatever template LyX uses to generate the list header
(I know programming, but I am not a LyX/TeX/LaTeX expert)?
Etienne
P.S. Note that LyX seems quite inconsistent in putting a blank line
before the item list, but not after. As it is quite easy to add a blank
line using ERT, maybe LyX shouldn't add a blank line by default?

Re: Bounding box problem (not caused by LyX but ghostscript)
Hi, I tried your eps files in LyX 1.6 beta3 under windows XP. I use Adobe reader 8 for pdf (generated by pdflatex IIRC) and gsview 4.9 / ghostscript 8.62 for postscript viewing. It does work better for me that for you it seems (you may suffer from an outdated/buggy imagemagick). I tried the images without checking the option to clip to the bounding box, and with it (ion that case, also with clicking on the button to get the size from the file). Tom Schlangen wrote: Okay, I have prepared some files to illustrate the problem, so other have a chance to verify. Output from bbget, using esp-gs v7.70.x: http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_bbget_espgs770.eps (64k) (works!) displays fine in LyX with or without the clipping options pdf/ps/dvi output is fine Output from bbget, using gs v8.62: http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_bbget_gs862.eps (64k) (doesn´t work) gsview 4.9 cannot even open this file... it reports errors. displays wrong in LyX with and without the clipping options.

BTW, using gsview v4.9 gives the same result. http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_gsview47.eps (64k) (doesn´t work) displays wrong (full page) in LyX with or without the clipping options pdf/ps/dvi is fine though Output from ps2eps v1.64 utility, parameters as suggested by http://www.tm.uka.de/~bless/ps2eps.html: http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_ps2eps164.eps (64k) (doesn´t work) displays wrong (full page) in LyX without the clipping options and fine with it. ps/dvi are correct pdf is correct without the clipping option, but the figure is missing when using the clipping option (yep... it works without and _not_ with). Now, I do not really understand why you need such a complex workflow. Why do you need to go in Linux ? I did the following in Windows (one line, mail agent may wrap it): gswin32c -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dEPSCrop -sDEVICE=epswrite -sOutputFile=dummy2.eps dummy.eps (You need to have gs in your path) The resulting image displays fine in LyX with or without the clipping options, and ps/pdf/dvi is fine also. So my conclusion is : don't care about what LyX displays, care about the final result, and most encapsulated postscripts (eps) are fine there. And also, use ghostscript 8.62 on windows. Regards, Tom Schlangen Regards, Olivier PS: personally, I use pdf instead of eps: it takes less disc space, you can edit easily with inkscape, everyone can view them, and last but not least, it is the base format for pdf(La)TeX which is nicer (pdf bookmarks).

problem with tracked changes and citations
There is a problem with lyx when you are using change tracking and you
have citations that you delete. lyx itself is OK in that it shows the
deleted citation reference struck through, but if you try to print or
create a pdf, you get an error message as follows:
\cite{B50}}, [some other body text appended]
I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.
If I just Accept that deletion with the change tracking, everything
works ok.
Anyone else had this problem ?

Re: Blank Line Before \begin{itemize} in Geneterated LaTeX
Sorry I can't help you, although personally I think the spacing looks just right. Maybe with your line spacing settings it looks funny? I agree thought that LyX does not seem to be very flexible here. I just wanted to add to your comments the following. When you start a display formula, if you hit return before doing so it adds an extra space. If you start the equation but don't hit return before no space is added. The problem is that in LyX you can't see the difference, so you only notice the large gap when you compile the document. Bit annoying right? Chris.

No, the -specialtext switch is only the default for new textboxes. Therefore it is useful, but it does not change existing ones. How the text is output to LaTeX depends on the flags that are stored in the .fig file, not on the -specialtext switch. With other words, I have to redo all my fig files and add (or copy, if I find out how the localization of the text is done in pstex_t)? If they miss the flag, then you simply need to set the flag in the .fig file (manually or with a script). No ned to look at pstex_t. Then you include all .fig files as external material, and maybe set the preamble command mentioned by Vasek. textbox is pstex_t? No, a textbox is what you get when you press the big T in xfig and where you enter your text. How does xfig find out the size and font I used in the document, or does it make latex take it over? It does not find it out. It puts the text in a file that is processed by LaTeX. Georg

Re: keyboard question
Hi Daniel, I fear your solution is too general for my case: wouldn't it interfere with my keyboard settings in other programs? I wouldn't think so. You don't have to use this 'feature' in other contexts. If you heavily use the caps lock key then the situation is different. But in that case you can redefine any other key to become the compose key. Under Linux there is a nice little program 'xev' which gives you the key code for all keys. I point out that I am perfectly satisfied with my US int'l setup in almost every software, command line included. Since LyX is the only major program I'm having this (however little) trouble with, I was in search of a LyX-specific solution. You could try to define your personal bind file in '$HOME/.lyx/bind/...' You'll find info on global and local bind files somewhere in the (more advanced ;-) LyX documentation. I don't remeber exactly where, it's several years tackled with these problems.

Re: Xfig and LyX
Hi Wolfgang,
I also prefer having the fontsize in figures equal to that of the surrounding
text.
If the special flag was set you encountered a bug, either in xfig,
fig2dev or in LyX. Otherwise just set the flag, and the text should be
typeset by LaTeX.
How does xfig find out the size and font I used in the document, or does it
make latex take it over?
To do that, you really need the special flag switched on for strings in
xfig. If you did not do it in your xfig files, you can change it quite
efficiently using update functionality in xfig gui, or by a script on raw
xfig file format. All strings are terminated by \001 so it is easy to detect
them and the special flag is just one of the numbers in front of the text. Do
not remember which one, you can easily find it out by diffing two files, one
with and one without the special flag.
As a second step, redefine latex macro SetFigFont in the preamble:
either
\gdef\SetFigFont#1#2#3#4#5{\relax}
or
\gdef\SetFigFontNFSS#1#2#3#4#5{\relax}
depending on the xfig version. Check one of your .pdftex_t file which version
is used in it.
Then, all texts will be typeset by the active font in latex.
Hope this helps,

How to I right-justify exponents? {_{10}^{100}X}
Hi,
I am using LyX 1.5.5 on a Mac OS 10.4
I need to write an equation with two leading exponents. E.g:
{_{10}^{1000}X}
This equation would look (roughly) like:
1000
10 X
But I need the numbers to fit snug against the X, e.g.
1000
10X
Other people writing plain LaTeX do this. Any ideas?

Re:gnumeric and lyx
What if you import your .tex file into LyX by going FileImportLaTeX (plain) Then copy and paste the bits you need into your main LyX document. Does that work? If not you might have to modify your .tex file slightly to a format that LyX supports, or include a missing package. What are the errors? Chris.
Blank Line Before \begin{itemize} in Geneterated LaTeX
Hi LyX gurus,
I've been playing with LyX lately. It has much improved since the last
time I looked at it, 6 years ago. It really looks as a nice alternative
to writing painful plain LaTeX by hand.
I can't figure out if I missed some workaround in the documentation or
if it is an undocumented feature (i.e. a bug). When I write using LyX
1.5.5 on OSX 10.15.3:
Some text followed by an itemized list:
* Some item.
* Another item.
Then some text that follows.
LyX generates the following LaTeX code:
Some text followed by an itemized list:
\begin{itemize}
\item Some item.
\item Another item.
\end{itemize}
Then some text that follows.
Why does LyX generate a blank line between list: and
\begin{itemize}? I have not been able to prevent LyX from doing so. To
get the itemized list to be considered as part of the preceding
paragraph, I only figured out the following ugly workarounds:
1. don't use LyX lists at all; instead, write all of
\[begin|item|end] commands as embedded TeX (ERT), or
2. use the verbatim package to add multi-line comments using ERT:
... list:[[ \begin{comment}]]
* [[\end{comment} \begin{itemize} \item]] Some item.
* Another Item.
Then...
Of course, neither is satisfactory. This is quite annoying, as lists are
rather common in my texts. Have I missed something? How hard would it be
for me to change whatever template LyX uses to generate the list header
(I know programming, but I am not a LyX/TeX/LaTeX expert)?
Etienne
P.S. Note that LyX seems quite inconsistent in putting a blank line
before the item list, but not after. As it is quite easy to add a blank
line using ERT, maybe LyX shouldn't add a blank line by default?

Re: Bounding box problem (not caused by LyX but ghostscript)
Hi, I tried your eps files in LyX 1.6 beta3 under windows XP. I use Adobe reader 8 for pdf (generated by pdflatex IIRC) and gsview 4.9 / ghostscript 8.62 for postscript viewing. It does work better for me that for you it seems (you may suffer from an outdated/buggy imagemagick). I tried the images without checking the option to clip to the bounding box, and with it (ion that case, also with clicking on the button to get the size from the file). Tom Schlangen wrote: Okay, I have prepared some files to illustrate the problem, so other have a chance to verify. Output from bbget, using esp-gs v7.70.x: http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_bbget_espgs770.eps (64k) (works!) displays fine in LyX with or without the clipping options pdf/ps/dvi output is fine Output from bbget, using gs v8.62: http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_bbget_gs862.eps (64k) (doesn´t work) gsview 4.9 cannot even open this file... it reports errors. displays wrong in LyX with and without the clipping options. LyX cannot actually read the bounding box at all. does not display in pdf (blank pages), result in errors in gsview and dvi viewer. Output from gsview v4.7, using option PS to EPS, also checkmarked Automatically calculate Baounding Box. BTW, using gsview v4.9 gives the same result. http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_gsview47.eps (64k) (doesn´t work) displays wrong (full page) in LyX with or without the clipping options pdf/ps/dvi is fine though Output from ps2eps v1.64 utility, parameters as suggested by http://www.tm.uka.de/~bless/ps2eps.html: http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_ps2eps164.eps (64k) (doesn´t work) displays wrong (full page) in LyX without the clipping options and fine with it. ps/dvi are correct pdf is correct without the clipping option, but the figure is missing when using the clipping option (yep... it works without and _not_ with). Now, I do not really understand why you need such a complex workflow. Why do you need to go in Linux ? I did the following in Windows (one line, mail agent may wrap it): gswin32c -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dEPSCrop -sDEVICE=epswrite -sOutputFile=dummy2.eps dummy.eps (You need to have gs in your path) The resulting image displays fine in LyX with or without the clipping options, and ps/pdf/dvi is fine also. So my conclusion is : don't care about what LyX displays, care about the final result, and most encapsulated postscripts (eps) are fine there. And also, use ghostscript 8.62 on windows. Regards, Tom Schlangen Regards, Olivier PS: personally, I use pdf instead of eps: it takes less disc space, you can edit easily with inkscape, everyone can view them, and last but not least, it is the base format for pdf(La)TeX which is nicer (pdf bookmarks).

problem with tracked changes and citations
There is a problem with lyx when you are using change tracking and you
have citations that you delete. lyx itself is OK in that it shows the
deleted citation reference struck through, but if you try to print or
create a pdf, you get an error message as follows:
\cite{B50}}, [some other body text appended]
I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.
If I just Accept that deletion with the change tracking, everything
works ok.
Anyone else had this problem ?
Running lyx.1.5.3 under hardy Heron.

Re: Blank Line Before \begin{itemize} in Geneterated LaTeX
Sorry I can't help you, although personally I think the spacing looks just right. Maybe with your line spacing settings it looks funny? I agree thought that LyX does not seem to be very flexible here. I just wanted to add to your comments the following. When you start a display formula, if you hit return before doing so it adds an extra space. If you start the equation but don't hit return before no space is added. The problem is that in LyX you can't see the difference, so you only notice the large gap when you compile the document. Bit annoying right? Chris.

How the text is output to LaTeX depends on the flags that are stored in the .fig file, not on the -specialtext switch. With other words, I have to redo all my fig files and add (or copy, if I find out how the localization of the text is done in pstex_t)? If they miss the flag, then you simply need to set the flag in the .fig file (manually or with a script). No ned to look at pstex_t. Then you include all .fig files as external material, and maybe set the preamble command mentioned by Vasek. textbox is pstex_t? No, a textbox is what you get when you press the big T in xfig and where you enter your text. How does xfig find out the size and font I used in the document, or does it make latex take it over? It does not find it out. It puts the text in a file that is processed by LaTeX. Georg

Compatibility problems
Hi Lyx People. I have a several problems with lyx. I was user for Lyx 1.3.3-win32 and iI wrote many important documents on it, sudenly, the programs began to auto-type some quotations in all the text that I open. For that reason I had to change my version for the new 1.5.4 for windows. Everithing was good... except for one thing... I CAN'T open or import my old documents. I tried to export my old documents to *.tex in the Lyx 1.3.3-win23, and import in the new version, but lyx 1.5.4 can't do anything I Need Help My actal version of Lyx is 1.5.4 for windows, and I have Windows Vista Thanks for help -- Att.

Re: keyboard question
Hi Daniel, I fear your solution is too general for my case: wouldn't it interfere with my keyboard settings in other programs? I wouldn't think so. You don't have to use this 'feature' in other contexts. If you heavily use the caps lock key then the situation is different. But in that case you can redefine any other key to become the compose key. Under Linux there is a nice little program 'xev' which gives you the key code for all keys. I point out that I am perfectly satisfied with my US int'l setup in almost every software, command line included. Since LyX is the only major program I'm having this (however little) trouble with, I was in search of a LyX-specific solution. You could try to define your personal bind file in '$HOME/.lyx/bind/...' You'll find info on global and local bind files somewhere in the (more advanced ;-) LyX documentation. I don't remeber exactly where, it's several years tackled with these problems.

Re: Xfig and LyX
Hi Wolfgang,
I also prefer having the fontsize in figures equal to that of the surrounding
text.

To do that, you really need the "special" flag switched on for strings in
xfig. If you did not do it in your xfig files, you can change it quite
efficiently using "update" functionality in xfig gui, or by a script on raw
xfig file format. All strings are terminated by \001 so it is easy to detect
them and the special flag is just one of the numbers in front of the text. Do
not remember which one, you can easily find it out by diffing two files, one
with and one without the special flag.
As a second step, redefine latex macro SetFigFont in the preamble:
either
\gdef\SetFigFont#1#2#3#4#5{\relax}
or
\gdef\SetFigFontNFSS#1#2#3#4#5{\relax}
depending on the xfig version. Check one of your .pdftex_t file which version
is used in it.
Then, all texts will be typeset by the active font in latex.
Hope this helps,
Vasek

You can override a keybinding if you give a new definition after the input of a "standard" file.

I recommend loading the default sciword.bind in the custom bind file, e.g. # Before defining your own bindings, select one of the available default # binding sets. These are resource files (like this one) that define a # large set of (keyboard) bindings. These files live in the /bind directory of # the LyX system directory and have the .bind suffix. # # The \bind_file command looks in the LyX bind directory for a file # of the given name, so a full path should not be given. # # Currently, you can choose from the following flavors:: \bind_file cua.bind # KDE-, Windows-, Mac- and Motif-like bindings #\bind_file emacs.bind # for Emacs-like bindings. # ... # we also would like to incorporate some additional menu shortcuts # \bind_file menus.bind # English menu shortcut additions \bind_file de_menus.bind# German version

How to I right-justify exponents? {_{10}^{100}X}
Hi,
I am using LyX 1.5.5 on a Mac OS 10.4
I need to write an equation with two leading exponents. E.g:
{_{10}^{1000}X}
This equation would look (roughly) like:
1000
10 X
But I need the numbers to fit snug against the X, e.g.
1000
10X
Other people writing plain LaTeX do this. Any ideas?

Re:gnumeric and lyx
What if you import your .tex file into LyX by going File>Import>LaTeX (plain) Then copy and paste the bits you need into your main LyX document. Does that work? If not you might have to modify your .tex file slightly to a format that LyX supports, or include a missing package. What are the errors? Chris.
Blank Line Before \begin{itemize} in Geneterated LaTeX
Hi LyX gurus,
I've been playing with LyX lately. It has much improved since the last
time I looked at it, 6 years ago. It really looks as a nice alternative
to writing painful plain LaTeX by hand.
I can't figure out if I missed some workaround in the documentation or
if it is an "undocumented feature" (i.e. a bug). When I write using LyX
1.5.5 on OSX 10.15.3:
Some text followed by an itemized list:
* Some item.
* Another item.
Then some text that follows.
LyX generates the following LaTeX code:
Some text followed by an itemized list:
\begin{itemize}
\item Some item.
\item Another item.
\end{itemize}
Then some text that follows.
Why does LyX generate a blank line between "list:" and
"\begin{itemize}"? I have not been able to prevent LyX from doing so. To
get the itemized list to be considered as part of the preceding
paragraph, I only figured out the following ugly workarounds:
1. don't use LyX lists at all; instead, write all of
"\[begin|item|end]" commands as embedded TeX (ERT), or
2. use the verbatim package to add multi-line comments using ERT:
"... list:[[ \begin{comment}]]
* [[\end{comment} \begin{itemize} \item]] Some item.
* Another Item.
Then..."
Of course, neither is satisfactory. This is quite annoying, as lists are
rather common in my texts. Have I missed something? How hard would it be
for me to change whatever template LyX uses to generate the list header
(I know programming, but I am not a LyX/TeX/LaTeX expert)?
Etienne
P.S. Note that LyX seems quite inconsistent in putting a blank line
before the item list, but not after. As it is quite easy to add a blank
line using ERT, maybe LyX shouldn't add a blank line by default?

Re: Bounding box problem (not caused by LyX but ghostscript)

It does work better for me that for you it seems (you may suffer from an outdated/buggy imagemagick).

BTW, using gsview v4.9 gives the same result. http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_gsview47.eps (64k) (doesn´t work) displays wrong (full page) in LyX with or without the clipping options pdf/ps/dvi is fine though Output from ps2eps v1.64 utility, parameters as suggested by http://www.tm.uka.de/~bless/ps2eps.html: http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_ps2eps164.eps (64k) (doesn´t work) displays wrong (full page) in LyX without the clipping options and fine with it. ps/dvi are correct pdf is correct without the clipping option, but the figure is missing when using the clipping option (yep... it works without and _not_ with). Now, I do not really understand why you need such a complex workflow. Why do you need to go in Linux ? I did the following in Windows (one line, mail agent may wrap it): gswin32c -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dEPSCrop -sDEVICE=epswrite -sOutputFile=dummy2.eps dummy.eps (You need to have gs in your path) The resulting image displays fine in LyX with or without the clipping options, and ps/pdf/dvi is fine also. So my conclusion is : don't care about what LyX displays, care about the final result, and most encapsulated postscripts (eps) are fine there. And also, use ghostscript 8.62 on windows. Regards, Tom Schlangen Regards, Olivier PS: personally, I use pdf instead of eps: it takes less disc space, you can edit easily with inkscape, everyone can view them, and last but not least, it is the base format for pdf(La)TeX which is nicer (pdf bookmarks).

Re: gnumeric and lyx

If not you might have to modify your .tex file slightly to a format that LyX supports, or include a missing package. What are the errors? Chris. Hello unfortunately it doesn't work .. i just get a bunch of errors when i try to compile it (also it doesn't look correct having a lot of \gnumeric here and there) now if i have a matrix in text format is there a way to import it in lyx w/o having to manually type each cell?

problem with tracked changes and citations
There is a problem with lyx when you are using change tracking and you
have citations that you delete. lyx itself is OK in that it shows the
deleted citation reference struck through, but if you try to print or
create a pdf, you get an error message as follows:
" \cite{B50}}, [some other body text appended]
I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away."
If I just Accept that deletion with the change tracking, everything
works ok.
Anyone else had this problem ?
Running lyx.1.5.3 under hardy Heron.
I have screen captures of the issue if anyone is interested :-)

Re: gnumeric and lyx
Yes you can. I even tested it with gnumeric and it worked. See this post. http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg65207.html Chris.
Re: Blank Line Before \begin{itemize} in Geneterated LaTeX
Sorry I can't help you, although personally I think the spacing looks just right. Maybe with your line spacing settings it looks funny? I agree thought that LyX does not seem to be very flexible here. I just wanted to add to your comments the following. When you start a "display formula", if you hit return before doing so it adds an extra space. If you start the equation but don't hit return before no space is added. The problem is that in LyX you can't see the difference, so you only notice the large gap when you compile the document. Bit annoying right? Chris.
Re: Xfig and LyX
Wolfgang Engelmann wrote: > with external template way you mean the way I and Rich use, i.e. export > fig > to eps and insert in Lyx? No. I mean what Abdel uses: Insert->File->External Material and then choose the xfig template. In the file dialog you specify the .fig file. If you want to edit the .fig file from within LyX press cklick on the file and then press the edit button in the dialog that opens. > Does it mean, I have to create the fig file after having started > xfig -specialtext and xfig then puts my text in the pstex_t file with > location marks etc? No, the -specialtext switch is only the default for new textboxes. Therefore it is useful, but it does not change existing ones. How the text is output to LaTeX depends on the flags that are stored in the .fig file, not on the -specialtext switch. > With other words, I have to redo all my fig files and add (or copy, if I > find out how the localization of the text is done in pstex_t)? If they miss the flag, then you simply need to set the flag in the .fig file (manually or with a script). No ned to look at pstex_t. Then you include all .fig files as external material, and maybe set the preamble command mentioned by Vasek. > textbox is pstex_t? No, a textbox is what you get when you press the big T in xfig and where you enter your text. > How does xfig find out the size and font I used in the document, or does > it make latex take it over? It does not find it out. It puts the text in a file that is processed by LaTeX. Georg

Can I file a bug report in this list as well? Post the .bib file first. In particular, run iconv against it to make sure you didn't accidentally get an unsupported character in the file. Also, does the LaTeX log show any error messages relating to the missing references? If you export a .tex file and run latex-bibtex-latex-latex against it, are the refs still missing? /Paul

Compatibility problems
Hi Lyx People. I have a several problems with lyx. I was user for Lyx 1.3.3-win32 and iI wrote many important documents on it, sudenly, the programs began to auto-type some quotations in all the text that I open. For that reason I had to change my version for the new 1.5.4 for windows. Everithing was good... except for one thing... I CAN'T open or import my old documents. I tried to export my old documents to *.tex in the Lyx 1.3.3-win23, and import in the new version, but lyx 1.5.4 can't do anything I Need Help My actal version of Lyx is 1.5.4 for windows, and I have Windows Vista Thanks for help -- Att.

Re: keyboard question
Hi Daniel, I fear your solution is too general for my case: wouldn't it interfere with my keyboard settings in other programs? I wouldn't think so. You don't have to use this 'feature' in other contexts. If you heavily use the caps lock key then the situation is different. But in that case you can redefine any other key to become the compose key. Under Linux there is a nice little program 'xev' which gives you the key code for all keys. I point out that I am perfectly satisfied with my "US int'l" setup in almost every software, command line included. Since LyX is the only major program I'm having this (however little) trouble with, I was in search of a LyX-specific solution. You could try to define your personal bind file in '$HOME/.lyx/bind/...' You'll find info on global and local bind files somewhere in the (more advanced ;-) LyX documentation. I don't remeber exactly where, it's several years tackled with these problems.
