I should have mentioned that they do not want to use a Unicode / Chinese font as their default text font. Lyx displays most languages nicely on the screen even when a more limited default font that does not carry those codepoints is used. It still displays them nicely with "view in html", and on a Mac for instance, if you save this as a pdf without doing anything else you will see those languages rendered nicely. So its a shame that it can't use that font substitution information that it must know about at some level (in Qt?) to generate some Latex for the Chinese/Arabic/Russian if the user hasn't supplied any her/himself. Cheers, Lisa. (p.s. its exactly for occasional use, in our global world, that it would be nice to have this, rather than for regular multilingual users of Lyx who can choose their preferred fonts). (Polyglossia is still at 2010/7/27 (CTAN) which has no Chinese support, is that right?)
Re: Lyx Windows <-> Linux Compatibility
In addition to missing packages (which has already been mentioned), it is sometimes the case that different versions of the same package are installed under Linux and Windows. Updating the older package to the newer version (on whichever machine has the older version) usually cures problems of that nature. FWIW, I've been editing the same docs on both Windows and Linux for years with almost no difficulties. Paul

Thanks.
It looks like I should have read the release notes, sorry.
I was indeed referring to files in ERT.
I normally use pathnames relative to the current directory and since . is
automatically included in the TEXINPUTS prefix, this should still work I guess
without making any modifications. But it doesn't.
The problematic paths start with ../ and it looks there is still a problem with
that. I can of course drop the starting ../ and add .. to the prefix list but
I'm reluctant to changing those paths since they will then not run anymore in
the previous versions.
Also, when exporting as latex the prefix is not included, as far as I can see
and when fixed for LyX2.0.1 the latex-file will now not run with TeXShop,
unless one can instruct TeXShop to use the same prefix list.

On (i), the font declaration only affects the appearance in LyX. You
have to do something in the LaTeX itself if you want to font to be smaller.
On (ii), I think the problem is that captions must be in floats. So you
should declare tablenotes as a float, if that is what it really is. See
stdfloats.inc for examples.

Caption and Font in module
Dear list
I am trying to make a module for the threeparttable package but I have some
problems i cannot solve. I am running LyX 2.0.1 on a MacBook Pro with Lion. The
code is
#\DeclareLyXModule[threeparttable.sty]{Threeparttable}
#DescriptionBegin
#Enables the threeparttable environment to ease the use of table notes
#DescriptionEnd
# Author: Andreas Noack Jensen
Format 21
#AddToPreamble
#\usepackage{threeparttable}
#EndPreamble
InsetLayout Flex:Threeparttable
LyXType custom
LatexType Environment
LatexName threeparttable
Decoration classic
LabelString threeparttable
MultiPartrue
End
Style Tablenotes
LatexType Item_Environment
LatexName tablenotes
Font
SizeTiny
EndFont
End
For Some reason the font size statement is completely ignored in the LaTeX code
even though the font i LyX gets smaller. My second problem is, that I get the
"senseless!!!" message when I make a caption in the custom inset. Any ideas
about how to get this to work?

Re: LyX with pgfplotstable
On 27. sep. 2011 09:36, florian.wilh...@gmail.com wrote:
Hi,
pgfplotstable uses external data files to generate formatted lists like
\pgfplotstabletypeset{example1.dat}
The problem is that LyX creates a temp directory, copies over all
files and runs latex to generate the document there. Since it does not
copy example1.dat I get a corresponding error message.
Consider creating an "external inset" template for this kind of file.
This can be done by editing the file /usr/share/lyx/external_templates
This is how xfig and dia images, chess diagrams and spreadsheets are
supported. LyX know what to copy when the file is an external inset.
"external_templates" is a text file. Customizing it is documented,
and the existing content can be used as templates.
If you make a useful inset, consider sending it to the lyx development
list. You might get it into the next LyX version. :-)

Stepwise is good in specific places, but usually it makes more sense (for me, anyway) to display in blocks. For example, you can put two items in one slide and uncover the three next in the second slide. I also tend to combine this with 'block' environment (again, with pauses between 'blocks'), and sometimes the vertical columns (don't remember their proper name). But stepwise uncovering for every item tends not to work for me. Cheers Liviu

Re: A Lyx-beamer question
Hi Liviu,
Thanks a lot for this suggestion, I have used the templates, so I have
definitely missed this one.
Unfortunately, it does not solve my problem, since the template itself
uses an even more manual approach than mine to solve this problem (by
putting overlays after each item).
I have inserted a dummy slide with just three items on it, they came
all visible in the same in the PDF.
But I see that I can learn many tricks from this template (I do every
trick manually in ERB for now), and better use Lyx with beamer. Very
good news.
Anyway, it seems that Lyx redefines something somewhere to suppress
the effect of the global instruction I put in the preamble (it
perfectly works with beamer documents written with TexMaker, for
example). This definition would be in the slide part, since putting
the instruction in the beginning of my document (before the first
slide) does not solve the problem either. When I have some time, I
will check the layout file to see how it redefines the frame and its
properties.

Where is texlive installed and how do I make sure that lyx is using it (and also other programs which use tex/latex such as xfig etc), i.e. the Path setting? At the moment I have downloaded the unx.tar.gz package, which is waiting to be unpacked and further manipulated. I installed texlive2011 into debian - it was easy enough: 1. Download the texlive installer from their site 2. Run the installer as root 3. Select what you want - I deselected support for a lot of languages I don't use, but installed everything else. 4. Wait, as the texlive installer fetch the 2.7GB or so, and puts it in /usr/local. (You can select somewhere else, if you like.) 5. Update your PATH setting, so that texlive2011 binaries will be found before Debian's older texlive. I updated my .bashrc file with this line: export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH If your platform is 32-bit, this line will be slightly different. 6. Log out and in again, verify the changed PATH. You may also want to run the command "pdflatex" and see that it says "(TeX Live 2011)" 7. Start LyX, use the menu "Tools->Reconfigure". After this, LyX uses the new texlive because of the PATH update. No need to remove Debian's texlive - it satisfies dependencies for other packages that wants TeX. The 2011 version will be used anyway due to the PATH change. To switch back, (when Debian eventually get texlive2011), remove texlive2011 from the PATH and use Tools->Reconfigure in LyX again.

2, but when I want to export in PDF, it doesn't work.
If I use one index, it's ok.
I think it's because of a bad preamble, but I don't know what to do
: \renewcommand{\indexname}{Index général}
thanks for your help[?]

Here the errors :

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
! Missing number, treated as zero.
{
l.176 ...tbf{Nathalie Desmet\sindex[ind]{Desmet} }
A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.
(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)

With LyX 2.x, you can load fontspec and set the main font families with "use non-TeX fonts" and the GUI. If this main font contains Chinese characters, it should work for Chinese. If you want to use a different font for Chinese (or any other non-Latin script) via polyglossia, this needs to be set up in the preamble. By default, polyglossia is loaded, too, when "use non-TeX fonts" is true, so you don't need to load it again. Hint: With View>Source, you can check the complete LaTeX preamble written by LyX if you activate the "Complete Source" box. Günter
