moderncv publications
Hello,
I try to change the title of publications but the usual
\renewcommand{\refname}{X}
or
\renewcommand{\bibname}{X}
does not work. I can change the name only in moderncv.sty but again only in
English. If I like to use other characters does not work (like i.e book.sty)
Any idea about it please?
Thank you

Re: Trying to get pdflatex to produce letter size page with outline fonts...
Hello You may try the geometry package. Then you may define the page in all possible ways. Also, you may try xetex (xelatex) instead of pdftex, if you write multilingual or if you like to use all available ttf, otf fonts of your system. sn On Friday 02 May 2008 06:45:45 adam_taylor wrote: > Folks, > > I am a new LyX user, and have a very basic question.

Re: pstricks pst-pdf
Hello and thank you for the information. For simple graphs or when everything else fails) it is worth to try it. Please find attached a script to create eps files (graphs) from this program. To run it, in a command line give ./myeps without the tex or lyx. In fact I tried it with tex and works. May be is a good idea to create eps files for inclusion in LyX. Otherwise, I suggest to give a try to TikZ and PGF version 2.00. It creates PDF files inside LyX and it is as powerful as Pstricks, Regards SN PS.

Two moderncv questions
Hello I have two final problems with moderncv class. 1st. using \cvlistitem for bullets when the text is longer than one line then the second line is not justified as expected (just below the text of the previous line but it is below the bullet). You may see the problem in a pdf & lyx file in http://users.hol.gr/~sdn/ 2nd. How can centralize (horizontally) the name (\firstname & \familyname)? I know it is possible because I had find a command for that but I cant find it anymore. Thank you in advance for your help sn
Re: Moderncv cls and font problems
Hello and thank you for your help
Eventually I have achieve about 90% of the optimal output...
The problem with the fonts was not actually a problem but a future of the
class. In moderncv there are two different font classes (Roman & Serif) for
the headers and the body of the cv. I modified the moderncvthemeclassic.sty
to use just roman everywhere and everything is ok now.
I think i have find a minor bug of the class and I will email the author of
the package.
When we use listitem and the description does not fit in one line then the
second line is just under the bullet and not next to it.
You may find both a demo LyX file & a PDF in http://users.hol.gr/~sdn/
* For some strange reason when I send the email with the files attached it was
refused twice.

I was not clear. If we use moderncv we have to define the name, address etc in
the preamble.
The problem is if that you don't use enlish then the name etc are not
displayed properly.
Further, the name, address and sections fonts are different from the main body
of the CV. Probably, we have to change some parameters in order to change
that fonts but there is no manual for moderncv to explain the procedure.

Both my texlive (ver 2007) and MiKTeX 2.7 systems have the following files
for moderncv class:
moderncv.cls, moderncvcompatibility.sty, moderncvthemecasual.sty,
moderncvthemeclassic.sty, moderncvthemeempty.sty
Therefore there is no moderncvthemeclassichack.sty file I searched the net
for that file but I could not find anything, so it should be misspelled.
Then, I searched the files in my system for \moderncvtheme[blue, roman]
{classic} and I could not find something and I thought the LyX wiki was an
old one.

Moderncv cls and font problems
Hello
How can I change the preamble and sections fonts of moderncv class?
How can I expand the area in the upper right of the first page to accommodate
more stuff? I have read the the
http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/ModernCVClassIssues but there is nothing
relevant in my files...
I use 2007 moderncv class and seems to be quite different from the old one.
I use 1.5.4 LyX both in linux and windows using texlive & miketex. The problem
is the same.
Finally when I change the name from English to Greek then it is displayed with
Latin and not Greek characters.
If I use in the preamble \textgreek{} to convert the Latin fonts to Greek then
the letters are very strange and they totally different from the selected
text in the main document.
Any help will be greatly appreciated... I have lost about a week with that :)

Hello
I can't see any option about babel in Document>Settings>Languages.
However I think the default is babel and any way I have tried
\usepackage[greek, english]{babel} in preable with no luck.

Hyphenation problem with two languages
Hello I have a problem with hyphenation when I use two or more character sets in the same document. If i leave the English as the default document language the hyphenation does not work, when the text is in another language (i.e Greek). When I select Greek as the default language the hyphenation does work but then only Greek characters are displayed, and in order to display English I have to use tex commands or to use the text style button which is inconvenient. Can I do anything about it? Thank you in advance for you help sn

How to change the natbib title in bibliography?
Hello
I use natbib and I would like to change the title from bibliography (i.e
References) to some other language.
When I use \renewcommand\refname{\selectlanguage{greek}{H Bibli'ografeia
mou}\selectlanguage{english}}
Then I get the title of bibliography in Greek but also the all the (English)
references are in Greek too.
If I change the text style of the BibTeX Generated Bibliography to English
then the title becomes again references.
Is there a way to change the title of references (using an other language or
more specific Greek) while the rest of the reference are in English?
Than you in advance for the help
