Hi Parul,

It would be unfair to say that fonts in latex is easy. And I am afraid that I 
can not 
be of much assistance as I donot have a windowscomputer any more. I did how 
ever get
the winfonts package to work with linux. But even that was not as easy as I 
would 
have wished for. First I had to put the files in the right places, dowload the 
webcore fonts and put those into the tex-tree. run update (texhash) and then
use a sometime to understand why pdflatex didn't find the font. In the end I 
had to
catenate the pdflatex.map and the winfonts.map. However, then it did work :)

I guess that this isn't really useful on a miktex installation. So the only help
I can give is that it is doable :), and if you tell us what the 
(Documents-)tex-log
say about the fonts, we might be able to point you in the right direction.

No, but LyX 1.6.3 recognizes eLyXer when it is installed. To help LyX

[LyX] make LyX save .pdf where I want?

[Murray Eisenberg]

In LyX 1.6.3 under Windows XP, I've used ToolsPreferencesPaths to set...

  Working directory: E:\Documents
  Temporary directory: E:\Temp

... and now after quitting and restarting LyX, at least .dvi files are 
created in subdirectories of E:\Temp\lyx (as are .html files when I 
export to that format).


However, .pdf files are created in a subdirectory of C:\Documents and 
settings.  How do I change this?

The working directory is the default location where LyX looks for

This is manifestly not so!

I open E:\Temp\example2.lyx in LyX. Then I click the View DVI button to 
view in Yap, and the View PDF button to view in Acrobat Reader. Neither 
example2.dvi nor example2.pdf is in E:\Temp, either while I am viewing 
those files or after I close Yap or Acrobat Reader.

Well, if you pressed fileexportDVI/PDF instead of using the view 
Buttons, then example2.* would have been where you expected, next to 
your example2.lyx. The view Buttons always create temporary files. But 
I'm not sure why your temporary PDF is located in another directory as 
your temporary DVI.

Re: [LyX] make LyX save .pdf where I want?

The exported files are saved in the directory of the lyx file that is 
being exported.


The working directory is the default location where LyX looks for 
documents and where you are expected to save a new document. (So, this 
has nothing to do with exporting files).

Re: [LyX] make LyX save .pdf where I want?

[Murray Eisenberg]

This is manifestly not so!

I open E:\Temp\example2.lyx in LyX. Then I click the View DVI button to 
view in Yap, and the View PDF button to view in Acrobat Reader. Neither 
example2.dvi nor example2.pdf is in E:\Temp, either while I am viewing 
those files or after I close Yap or Acrobat Reader.

Well, if you pressed file>export>DVI/PDF instead of using the" view" 
Buttons, then example2.* would have been where you expected, next to 
your example2.lyx. The "view" Buttons always create temporary files. But 
I'm not sure why your temporary PDF is located in another directory as 
your temporary DVI.
