Thanks, Gwen.

I'm familiar with that code, but I'm looking for a global option. I have a lot 
of formulas and I can't insert the code manually for each one separately.

The equations are in display mode. All I need is some global command to make

The application that crashes is yap. This is not part of LyX, but part 
of MikTeX, the LaTeX package you most probably use and which might have 
been installed by LyX.


You can try to run yap manually by clicking the dvi file and see whether 
it runs then. Maybe you need to reinstall MikTeX.

LyX dumps core with locale setting at UTF-8

[Marco Beishuizen]

Hi,

My LyX (1.6.8) is exiting with:
...
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
Abort (core dumped)
...

It seems a problem with the locale setting. When using en_US.UTF-8, LyX 
aborts like above. When setting locale to C, it runs without problems. 
But I want to use UTF-8 for accents etc. so how can I let LyX run with 
UTF-8?


I'm using LyX on FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE.

Thanks in advance,
Marco

Close lyx.  make a copy of your lyx document.   Then:

Open that lyx file in an editor like Emacs, (any pure text editor will

PDF part.  Just trim down to a working paragraph format, save, open
the document in LyX. And live happily ever after.

In times like this, it would be nice if LyX had an old-fashioned
reveal codes window like Word Perfect used to have.  When text comes
out funny, it is almost always because of some hidden formatting that
you didn't realize was there.

Hi,

Is there any way to get two separate lists?
