Beamer question: overlays with graphics
I have some older slides with frames divided into two columns. On the left
column, there is an itemized list exposed one slide at a time. On the
right, a corresponding image alternates within a fixed overlayarea.
In previous Lyx versions I did this with <1->, <2-> etc (on the left), and
overlayarea(width)(height) and \includegraphics<1>[]{},
\includegraphics<2>[]{}, etc (on the right)
These slides do not compile in 2.1.4.
I am having limited success with Overprint instead: the left column now
appears like this:
onslide 1- textA
onslide 2- textB
And the right column like this:
Overprint onslide 1 (image1)
Overprint onslide 2 (image2)
But my problem is controlling the width of the overprint. It doesn't seem
that inserting Overprint Area Width does anything. Looking at the source
pane, filling the width box is not even reflected in the source; inserting
it within the width box as ERT with Ctrl+L is reflected in the source, but
has no effect on the image size.
Any ideas?

migrating (soon to be) old beamer files
LyX support for beamer is improving, and that's great. Once the new version of LyX comes out of beta, however, old beamer files with overlays will no longer compile. I have dozens of those. Any suggestions (other than keeping an old LyX installation in addition to the new one)? Thanks, Eran

Richard, what do you mean by "handled correctly under line breaks"? Thanks, Eran Does the dash get handled correctly under line breaks? Worries about this are one reason we haven't started outputting the en-dash instead of just "--". Richard
remapping the en dash
To get an en dash, we used to type "--". But in the age of XeTeX etc, I'd rather input "–" that would show up in LyX and in the output. Is there an easier way to do this under Windows than Alt+0150 ? Thanks, Eran
Re: lyx: Font derail (with semi-related ranting)
Syntax is a beautiful typeface, but in my experience the digital
implementation looks nothing like the specimen in Bringhurst.
For a thesis, I would recommend exclusive use of MinionPro. Headlines
can be done in all caps and small caps, or in bold. Math symbols and
Greek are included. Works very well with \usepackage{microtype}.

As a big fan of Robert Bringhurst's book The Elements of Typographic
Style, I will follow him and suggest the sanserif typeface Syntax,
designed by Hans Eduard Meier. Unlike most sanserifs, it is based on
Renaissance forms like Garamond, as is Palatino. An illustration in
his book shows how good it looks with Minion.

Re: Beamer multitude problems with lyx

Re: powerdot class options
I don't know if there's a bug in Powerdot. I've not used Powerdot in quite some time, and I recently found out that older presentations did not compile as expected. I've always followed the manual which said: 10.3 Compiling with LYX First of all, make sure that you have also read section 8. Then, in order to get a proper PostScript or PDF file, you have to set your LYX document properties depending on which paper and orientation you want. When your LYX document is open, go to the Layout - Document dialog. In the Layout pane, put the nopsheader, orient and paper keys as class options (see section 2.1 for a description). Then, go to the Paper pane and select corresponding paper size and orientation (you may choose letter paper in the case you set paper=screen in the class options). Finally, go to the View (or File = Export)menu and select your output (PostScript or PDF). However, I recently found out that the nopsheader option must now be omitted for the document to compile properly. (See also: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg71492.html). Also note that contrary to the manual, once the powerdot class is selected in LyX, the option to select paper size and orientation is no longer available. If I am correct then the manual must be corrected, but perhaps a wiki entry is also appropriate.

Hi all,
I need your help. It turns out to be a known problem that you can't use
hyperref with Memoir. However, there's supposedly a fix, known as
memhfixc.sty. Supposedly, if you \usepackage{memhfixc} AFTER you
\usepackage{hyperref}, they can coexist. See this:

However, when I make a trivial latex file based on the preceding document, it
fails. Here's the file:
\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{memhfixc}
\usepackage{mempatch}
\begin{document}
hello world.

usually have:

\hypersetup{pdftex, bookmarks, backref, letterpaper, colorlinks=true,
urlcolor=black}
\usepackage{memhfixc}
But, I tries your document and it works, too ...

Re: Small caps italic revisited
I am also a fan of this book. For some perspective, here's a review by William Berkson, a prominent contributor to Typophile.com. I think it's important to keep in mind while discussing italic small caps. *Reviewd by William Berkson:* Few books deserve the name 'great', but this is one. The author brings a combination of eloquence, learning, and passion for excellence, and the result is a stunning achievement. This work seems to be at the top of everyone's lists of books in typography. One of the book's greatest strengths is also a weakness, though. Bringhurst has the classical taste in art - a taste that treasures the rare combination of serenity and elation, and the works of art that give us this feeling. Following this taste, he perceptively separates out the Romantic elements that we have come to accept as normal, such as bold fonts, grotesque style sans, wide pages, and the em dash. And he revives and highlights the classical views of proportion and design in typography. All of this provides a powerful new standard of excellence for book typography - and books are really Bringhurst's focus. The weakness of this book is that the Romantic taste does indeed have its place, and this taste is neglected. Not only advertising, but also any short material is often best served by typography that is not serene, but rather provocative. What would quickly become tiresome in a book can be delightful in smaller doses, and a different context. I share Bringhurst's classical tastes, so to me the neglect of advertising and the Romantic side of typography is no big loss. The Romantic taste is to be found everywhere else, so this book is a rare treasure: an exploration of the classical taste in an art that affects everyone.

Re: Do you like justified or ragged right?
I strongly recommend the microtype package, which goes a long way toward reducing hyphens and improving fit. If that's the package I think it is, it actually places the terminal character either a very small distance beyond or inside the actual right margin. While under magnification we could see the jaggies, when actually reading the page it appears straighter than otherwise. Just another optical delusion.

I don't have, or use, Lyx so i can't test anything with it.
If you have just
\documentclass[...]{memoir}
%%\usepackage{setspace} with or without this
then you have to use memoir's line spacing commands (e.g.
\begin{Spacing}{1} instead of \begin{spacing}{1}). (I tried this with
your example redefinition of the quote environment and it worked.)
If you have
\documentclass[...]{memoir}
\DisemulatePackage{setspace}
\usepackage{setspace}
then you have to use setspace's line spacing commands (e.g.,
\begin{spacing}{1} --- your quote environment example worked following
\DisemulatePackage{setspace*}).*
You can't mix the two sets of commands/environments.
Memoir's implementation of the line spacing commands is a little
different than setspace's, resulting sometimes in different spacing;
in particular memoir's version eliminates some extra space that might
occur near/around display material. In one case just calling
\usepackage{setspace} had the result of insering a large space on one
page and moving about 6 or 8 lines to the following page even though
no spacing commands were used; this did not happen with memoir's
implementation. As the results might be different I choose to use
different names, but \DisemulatePackage{setspace} gives you the
opportunity to pick which set you want to use.

Re: Using new fonts
I'd like to try some different fonts with LyX, but if I add them to the fonts directory (from my other Windows fonts directory), LyX doesn't know they are there. The reason is that the output from LyX looks bad. I mean there is something wrong with the way the font looks in the DVI or ps file. No one concerned about typesetting a document would bother to use LyX if this problem could not be solved. Doing a search online brings-up some obscure means of converting single font files and adding something to the Latex preamble, but there has to be an easier way. Shawn, If you must have an easier way you'll have to wait for newer versions of LyX. In the mean time, Mikex offers a good variety of fonts. Google the Latex Font Sampler. If you need to convert your own fonts, you have to do some work. For example, CTAN has a package for converting MinionPro. Walter Schmidt published foolproof packages for using commercial fonts. There are very good online guides to teach you how to convert type1 or opentype fonts. In short, us "concerned about typesetting a document" are doing very well, thank you. Perhaps the problem is not one of software, but of attitude.
