 I'm asking because when working on a Lyx document the bottom of the

 Thus, I think it would be cool if one could scroll below the end of the

Right, both topics are only slightly related. But I thought that

[OT?] Using Latin Modern fonts on Ubuntu

2008-11-10 Thread Paul A. Rubin

Hi,

I wonder if anybody can point me in the right direction here.  I have a 
bunch of LyX docs I produced on Win XP using the Latin Modern fonts, 
with PDF outputs.  The PDF file display fine on Ubuntu Hardy, but if I 
try to edit the docs there or write new docs with LyX (1.5.6) on Ubuntu 
using Latin Modern, the PDF files contain no text.  (Images, bullets, 
background colors are fine -- just no text.)  That's using pdflatex. 
Using dvipdfm, I get an error message saying the DVI file couldn't be 
converted.  Using ps2pdf I get text, but I'm not sure it's Latin Modern 
(the PDF file's font property says Type 3).


I'm using TeXLive on Ubuntu (MiKTeX on Win XP), and I have the Latin 
Modern package installed on Ubuntu.  Since the XP-generated PDF files 
seem to display correctly, I'm assuming it's not a lack of an X11 font.


Any ideas what I can do to convince TeXLive to generate PDF output with 
Latin Modern fonts?  It's both weird and annoying.


TIA,
Paul

Windows XP doesn't shut down with LyX open

2008-11-10 Thread Alex
Anyone else experienced this?
If I have either LyX 1.5.6 or 1.6.0 and I give Windows the command to shut down
the computer (i.e. from the Task manager), windows will close maybe a program or
two but then abort the shutdown sequence and remain running.

If, however, I first close LyX manually, then my computers will actually turn
off normally.

Problem producing glossary and acronymtable on mac

2008-11-10 Thread Michael Jantz

Hi.

Just in case my problem seems too trivial for you guys to be posted  
about in this group I would like to state that I did indeed search for  
a solution to my problem for quiet some time now and did not find one.


My OS version is Mac OS X 10.5.5, I am using Lyx 1.5.6 and the  
MacTeX-2008 distribution.


After it took me ages to get a working test of using nomencl or  
glossaries to produce a table with acronyms and one with a glossary I  
am now looking for a way to automate pdf-creation.
I did find some forum posts stating to add a custom converter for a  
custom pdf-filetype. Adding a custom pdf-filetype was easy.

How do I add an converter to automatically get my tables refreshed?

I wrote a script, which is executing latex, makeindex and pdflatex. To  
get a pdf with the glossary-tables I need to export from lyx to tex,  
then run that script.
As latex won' t work with a .lyx-file I suspect I can not really use  
my script with a converter (tried it and nothing happend, so I am  
unsure whether it is working or whether I executed the converter right).


Using Google I was not able to find a solution or a guide about how to  
automate these things.


Can one of you help me with that or give me a pointer where to look  
for a solution?

Thanks a lot in advance for all your efforts.

Greetings,
Michael

loaded a lot of packages on the preamble and the order was not the correct one.
In fact, I was using the fancyhdr package. When I changed the order of both 
packages, everuthyng worked fine. I had load geometry package first, and then 
the fancyhdr.

Thank you anyway.

Windows XP doesn't shut down with LyX open

2008-11-10 Thread Alex
Anyone else experienced this?
If I have either LyX 1.5.6 or 1.6.0 and I give Windows the command to shut down
the computer (i.e. from the Task manager), windows will close maybe a program or
two but then abort the shutdown sequence and remain running.

If, however, I first close LyX manually, then my computers will actually turn
off normally.

Problem producing glossary and acronymtable on mac

2008-11-10 Thread Michael Jantz

Hi.

Just in case my problem seems too trivial for you guys to be posted  
about in this group I would like to state that I did indeed search for  
a solution to my problem for quiet some time now and did not find one.


My OS version is Mac OS X 10.5.5, I am using Lyx 1.5.6 and the  
MacTeX-2008 distribution.


After it took me ages to get a working test of using nomencl or  
glossaries to produce a table with acronyms and one with a glossary I  
am now looking for a way to automate pdf-creation.
I did find some forum posts stating to add a custom converter for a  
custom pdf-filetype. Adding a custom pdf-filetype was easy.

How do I add an converter to automatically get my tables refreshed?

I wrote a script, which is executing latex, makeindex and pdflatex. To  
get a pdf with the glossary-tables I need to export from lyx to tex,  
then run that script.
As latex won' t work with a .lyx-file I suspect I can not really use  
my script with a converter (tried it and nothing happend, so I am  
unsure whether it is working or whether I executed the converter right).


Using Google I was not able to find a solution or a guide about how to  
automate these things.


Can one of you help me with that or give me a pointer where to look  
for a solution?

Thanks a lot in advance for all your efforts.

Greetings,
Michael

Right, both topics are only slightly related. But I thought that

The brand new LyX 1.6 has support for polytonic greek built-in.

Select Greek (polytonic) as Document-Language.

There were long threads about Greek with LyX (both mono- and polytonic)
some times ago. A summary can be found (and improved) on the LyX wiki under
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Greek.

Support for the mulit-accented Greek unicode chars (i.e. the
Greek-extended Unicode block) is under way (see
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4997). Until then, the utf8x
encoding setting is needed if you use these characters.

Book (AMS) default type

2008-11-10 Thread Frederick Noronha [फ़रेदरिक नोरोनया]
Please could someone tell me what is the default type used for Book
(AMS)? I would like to include this in the publishing info of the
book, but can't seem to find the name of the type. If I've hiked the
default type (base) to 11, what would be the resultant linespace?
Thanks! FN

re: LyX 1.6.0 is released

2008-11-10 Thread Eran Kaplinsky

The Debian package works well!
A mild annoyance: files prepared with RC5 (and older, I suppose) can't 
be opened. The fileformat must be changed for the file to open.

Multiple footnote references to one footnote

2008-11-10 Thread Keith Roberts
I have a footnote I want to refer to, three times on 
one page.


I copied the first footnote to other parts of the text. 
However I'm getting the same footnote appearing at the 
bottom of the page three times, each with a different 
footnote number, but all with the same footnote text.


All I want is the same footnote reference number in three 
places in my document, all refering to one instance of the 
footnote. Is this possible at all please?


Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts

Yes, it is possible, but you need some LaTeX magic to accomplish it. 
This was recently discussed on this list and I found the package to do 
it, so have a look through the archives. I'm not up for searching for it 
again myself

Windows XP doesn't shut down with LyX open

2008-11-10 Thread Alex
Anyone else experienced this?
If I have either LyX 1.5.6 or 1.6.0 and I give Windows the command to shut down
the computer (i.e. from the Task manager), windows will close maybe a program or
two but then abort the shutdown sequence and remain running.

If, however, I first close LyX manually, then my computers will actually turn
off normally.

Problem producing glossary and acronymtable on mac

2008-11-10 Thread Michael Jantz

Hi.

Just in case my problem seems too trivial for you guys to be posted  
about in this group I would like to state that I did indeed search for  
a solution to my problem for quiet some time now and did not find one.


My OS version is Mac OS X 10.5.5, I am using Lyx 1.5.6 and the  
MacTeX-2008 distribution.


After it took me ages to get a working test of using nomencl or  
glossaries to produce a table with acronyms and one with a glossary I  
am now looking for a way to automate pdf-creation.
I did find some forum posts stating to add a custom converter for a  
custom pdf-filetype. Adding a custom pdf-filetype was easy.

How do I add an converter to automatically get my tables refreshed?

I wrote a script, which is executing latex, makeindex and pdflatex. To  
get a pdf with the glossary-tables I need to export from lyx to tex,  
then run that script.
As latex won' t work with a .lyx-file I suspect I can not really use  
my script with a converter (tried it and nothing happend, so I am  
unsure whether it is working or whether I executed the converter right).


Using Google I was not able to find a solution or a guide about how to  
automate these things.


Can one of you help me with that or give me a pointer where to look  
for a solution?

Thanks a lot in advance for all your efforts.

Greetings,
Michael

Maybe it's a matter of updating the release instructions?  Since 1.5.0 was 
released we've changed the backend of the web site, so maybe the 
instructions need to reflect this. Where are the instructions located?

You need to switch the order, so that the header lines come first:


#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[artesaform, esaform.cls]{article (Esaform)}

Preamble
\usepackage{esaform}
EndPreamble

Do you mean the used fonts? AFAIK, AMS classes all use the Computer Modern
font bundle by Donald Knuth as default (with additional Math fonts by the
AMS (American Mathematical Society)).

I suppose it to be 11 pt (font hight) + \lineskip (by default 1 pt) but
never checked.

I'd say you'd better grab some beer and wait a few days. Normaly
Ubuntu auto-syncs and rebuilds from Debian regularly. Maybe opening a wishlist
bug in this Launchpad thingy can speed this up to get someone to sync
manually.

Of course you can.
