No, this isn't TeX related. This seems to affect strictly the display in LyX.

What you're describing seems to be related to aliasing/hinting. What
OS / DE are you using?

How to line break URLs?

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

Anyone here know how to line-break URLs in a LyX produced PDF? Ideally
after a slash? Hopefully, my URLs will be links that can be followed
with a click.

Thanks,

SteveT

Re: Font degrades when zooming OUT

[Barnet Wagman]

Yes, in 'Tool -> Preferences -> Look & Feel -> Screen Fonts' I've tried 
all the serif faces that I've got: the all have the same problem.


I believe I've read that LyX (actually TeX) uses bit mapped fonts by 
default.  It wasn't clear how to get non-bitmapped fonts.

Note that e.g going from 150% to 125%, the darkness of letters becomes
uneven.


Have you tried changing the display font? See Tools > Prefs > Screen fonts.

I've tried changing various fonts (using Tools -> Preferences -> Look & Feel
-> Screen Fonts) and get the same effect for all the fonts I've tried.  I
also note that in the preferences, the default zoom is 150%, which seems
odd.

I wonder if the problem has to do with the font's being used.  I've looked
through the LyX documentation, but it's not clear how to use non-bitmapped
fonts in Tools->Preferences-> ... -> Screen Fonts.  I haven't found any
reference to this problem in the LyX documentation, LyX mailing lists, or
anywhere else

FYI I'm running on Arch Linux.  I tried installing texlive.  That had no

automatically, of if I have to do something.

I'd appreciate any thoughts on how to fix this.  I really can't proceed to

How to prevent a paragraph spanning pages?

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I have a specific paragraph style (environment) that has TeX "Large"
print and is used only on single sentences. I'd like to incorporate
something in this environment's LaTeX code to prevent it breaking in
the middle. Anyone know how to do that?

Thanks,

SteveT

Wolfgang,

It's toolbar-toggle_math.svgz. I'm able to open it directly in Gimp; I think
you should be able to open it in ImageMagick as well, although you might
need to unzip it first.

Re: Font degrades when zooming OUT

[Barnet Wagman]

Monitor resolution: 1920 x 1080 (not HiDPI)

Here are links to screenshots (files on google drive)

   eg 0 zoom=150% (default)
   

   eg 1 zoom=125%
   

   eg 2 zoom=100%
   

   eg 3 zoom=75%
   

The "zoom" refers to zoom specification in Tool -> Preferences -> Look & 
Feel -> Screen Fonts.  150% was the initial value.


Note that e.g going from 150% to 125%, the darkness of letters becomes 
uneven.

Debian

On Ubuntu and Mint, they're in /usr/share/lyx/images, so they might be there
on Debian as well. If not, try running "dpkg-query -L lyx-common" in a terminal.

Thanks, Paul.
Found it on my Ubuntu, not yet on debian (which doesn't matter, can copy

However, there are quite a lot of icons, most of them as .svgz.

is my Tex Live manager installation OK?

[Michael Berger]

Dear Kornel,
with your help I have a functioning TL GUI installation.
The active GUI can be called as user from Konsole, which is what I was 
heading for.


However, editing of the GUI became  possible  only after giving write 
permission to 'tlpkg' in

 /usr/bin/texlive/2016/tlpkg
I presume that was a necessary change to do ?!

I find two installations:
/usr/bin/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux (413 items)
and
/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux (413 items)

Both are of the same structure and size (139,5 MiB) and both have 
'tlmgr' in /x86:64-linux.


Settings of PATH in '.bash_profile':
PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH; export PATH
(INFOPATH and MANPATH are set accordingly)

My core question is now:
Do I have to keep both installations as they are or should/could I 
remove one (for reason of saving space) without loosing functionality ?


Which of the two could/should possibly be removed and if so, how to 
safely do that?


Sorry for asking, meanwhile I am over-cautious :-\

Thanks and cheers,
Michael

Font degrades when zooming OUT

[bdw]

On a new, vanilla LyX installation (version 2.2.0-1), all the 'Help'
documents (Introduction, Tutorial, etc.) are displayed with very large
fonts.  However, if I zoom to correct this ('alt -' on my system), the
quality of the font degrades badly.  Going in the other direction does NOT
effect the quality.  

I've tried changing various fonts (using Tools -> Preferences -> Look & Feel
-> Screen Fonts) and get the same effect for all the fonts I've tried.  I
also note that in the preferences, the default zoom is 150%, which seems odd.

I wonder if the problem has to do with the font's being used.  I've looked
through the LyX documentation, but it's not clear how to use non-bitmapped
fonts in Tools->Preferences-> ... -> Screen Fonts.  I haven't found any
reference to this problem in the LyX documentation, LyX mailing lists, or
anywhere else

FYI I'm running on Arch Linux.  I tried installing texlive.  That had no
apparent effect, although I it's not clear whether LyX detects it
automatically, of if I have to do something.

I'd appreciate any thoughts on how to fix this.  I really can't proceed to
learn and use LyX if I can't fix this.

Thanks
