You can install several window manager and choose which one you want to
use. So you may add LXQT minimal and then try it again with fluxbox. If it
does not work, you can use LXQT, which should run without any problems.

Re: Easiest to read page size
This is a question that cannot be answered as such. If you have a large font, the page size will generally be larger too. The usual font size for American science paperbacks is 9 x 6 inches and 11 pt.In general, up to 65 letters (including spaces) are legible; but there can be 80. If the line spacing is large, the page can also be larger because more letters can fit into one line.

If shorter text lines read more quickly then perhaps 6x9 inches would be a good page size. Those with more knowledge on page size and readability are encouraged to share their knowledge with me.

Re: Font (detection) problems (want to use a Garamond font)
There are several options. An easy way could be links from the opentype
and ttf dirs under your tex-tree to /usr/local/share/fonts or to
$HOME/.local/share/fonts/
I don't know your current situation, but it may be something like:
mkdir $HOME/.local/share/fonts/texfonts
cd $HOME/.local/share/fonts/texfonts
ln -s /opt/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype ./
ln -s /opt/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/ttf ./
I hope, this works.
I don't know the reason, why pdflatex does not find the fonts, because
latex has its own "database" for files. Maybe some font files are
missing or you need to run mktexlsr (as root).

Sorry, my mistake ...
That's interesting! Libreoffice or fc-list doesn't see it, either! Why
does the TexLive installer install to /opt if that's not normal?
I can also see that in /etc/fonts/conf.d/, there are many config files
(including urw-*) which link to /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/, but
none for garamond. How come other fonts installed by tlmgr are

You can also copy the fonts you want (otf // ttf) to HOME/.local/share/fonts/

and the PATH (to /opt/texlive/2023/bin/x86_64-linux) is set. LyX finds

"URW Garamond" (no Mathdesign) is listed as "not installed", even

If I switch to "Don't use TeX-Fonts" in the font dialog, EB Garamond
is not listed at all, but it is installed. Weirdly, old LyX documents
that use that font still compile fine and display it in the output. I
also used to be able (until a week ago) to manually set the main font
to "EB Garamond" using
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{EB Garamond}
but that no longer works (gives me an error about not finding that
font). luaotfload-tool --find "EBGaramond" confirms that it is

fc-list | grep garamond
is another method.
Are other programs showing the fonts (e. g. libreoffice).
You can also copy the fonts you want (otf // ttf) to
HOME/.local/share/fonts/ (or /usr/local/share/fonts); both should be in
the font path of al programs. My LyX and fontspec(debian) have no
problems using the HOME-directory.

Hi all,
I'm using LyX 2.3.7, and TexLive 2023 (via tlmgr, not distro) on Void
Linux. My problem is that I can't use any of the Garamond fonts
installed (URW, EB). LyX has been configured via Tools -> Reconfigure,
and the PATH (to /opt/texlive/2023/bin/x86_64-linux) is set. LyX finds
all installed packages etc.
If I try to use "URW Garamond (Mathdesign)", I get an error when compiling:
!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file ugmm8a.pfb): cannot open Type 1 font
file for reading.
"URW Garamond" (no Mathdesign) is listed as "not installed", even
though it is according to tlmgr.
If I switch to "Don't use TeX-Fonts" in the font dialog, EB Garamond
is not listed at all, but it is installed. Weirdly, old LyX documents
that use that font still compile fine and display it in the output. I
also used to be able (until a week ago) to manually set the main font
to "EB Garamond" using
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{EB Garamond}
but that no longer works (gives me an error about not finding that
font). luaotfload-tool --find "EBGaramond" confirms that it is
installed in
"/opt/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/ebgaramond/EBGaramond-Regular.otf"
I am thoroughly confused, and don't even know where to begin checking.
Any help is appreciated!
Best regards,
Christian

Re: Solved > Re: Umlaut in nomenclature
Can you post an example? I don't understand the Abbreviation is part of
the Nomenclature. Usually there are the index and the nomenclature. The
dialogs differ.
The nomanclature dialog offers a field for the sorting, while the index
dialog puts an \index{ ... } in the latex file.
Makeindex has several options (special chars: !, | and @). I think the
description here
https://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX-Kompendium:_Index_und_Glossar:_Standard-Index
is good.

Re: two (or three) column bibliography
This is not a LyX problem.
LyX produces a tex-file that is stored (on my system) under
/tmp/lyx_tempdir.random/ and than runs latex (pdflatex lualatex ...),
makeindex, biber/biblatex on the tex file (several times, to get the
idx, lot ... files).
You can open the tex file and search \printbibliography[options], insert
\begin{multicols}{2} before and \end{multicols} after and than run
pdflatex or xelatex (whatever you choose) on the file.
With Debian,
1. Install kile.
2. Run pdflatex /lualatex /xelatex from LyX (depending on the format
chosen in the document settings) to produce a pdf
3. open the tex file under /tmp/lyx_tempdir with kile
4. In kile, there is a drop down menue (next to "Wiederherstellen") --
choose pdflatex/lualatex/xelatex (whatever fits)
You get a new version of the pdf file in the same directory, can look at
the log file and so on.
With my system it works without any problems, as you have seen (you may
have to insert \cleardoublepage).

Re: Fonts for LyX
Fontforge, in some special cases also inkscape. Inkscape has some advantaages. The first curves of the O, D, B, P, d, p or o have all been the same, sometimes scaled or flipped. The ampersand (et) uses a flipped 3, the ß is based on f+s. The f is close to the old long s (which was used for example also in english printing at least until the 18th century). But I'm actually looking for hints like: the superscripts are to bold, the accent grave is to far on the left side, I need bold italics small caps, the spacing of italic capitals (used in the headers of the standard article class) must be corrected and so on.

Re: Fonts for LyX
Thanks. The old style numbers appear somewhat strange at first glance,
i agree. I copied them from the original Didot fonts from about 1810. I
also stumbled over the numbers at the beginning, but only at the
beginning. The four is quite big, for example.
There are also parallel (default) and mono spaced numbers. You can
switch the style by inserting a tex-box:
\addfontfeatures{Numbers={Lining, Monospaced}}
\addfontfeatures{Numbers={OldStyle}}
That's also the reason I use realscripts, because footnote numbers in
"old style" look strange. But for usual text I'm quite happy with the
old style numbers (e. g. page 16). They do not stand out at all, while
normal numerals look like a block of capital letters. Anyway, the fonts
are hardly made for long series of numbers. There are much better ones.
My plan was to have a legible font (print and pdf), but not a variant of
Bembo, Garamond or Times, for example, because TexLive has really good
fonts of that kind.

Thanks for sharing, Eckhard! I looked at the pdf there. Cool font!
What tools do you use to develop the font?
I took a look at the PDF. One thing I noticed is that for the page numbers, in
41 and 42 they appear to be centered vertically but for 43 it seems more like
top aligned. Not sure if that makes sense, but it seemed a little off to me.
Good work!

Fonts for LyX
Hello all, this is not really a central Lyx topic, but I hope I'll be forgiven. I have started designing a font. As I have been working with Lyx for over 20 years, and the font should primarily work well with LyX (XeTeX), be usable without problems. Other uses don't interest me so much. At the following link you can find the font and a long PDF document created with LyX, which practically only uses the package realscripts for the preamble. https://www.fatto.de/wiki/doku.php/playground:font Therefore my question: Is anyone interested in supporting me, i.e. finding errors, making suggestions for improvement, etc.? -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
Re: Broken document
I can reproduce the error.
I have TeX Live (https://tug.org/texlive) version 2022. But refstyle.cfg

That's what Lyx produces, if refstyle is used:

Re: Broken document
Yes. That's part of the log file:
Package refstyle Info: \eqlabel created on input line 526.
Package refstyle Info: \eqref created on input line 526.
! Argument of \eqref has an extra }.
\par

I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.
Runaway argument?
! Paragraph ended before \eqref was complete.
\par
l.526 lsttxt = \RSlsttxt}
The log file says, that there is something wrong here, but I don't see
any problem:
