Re: Cygwin Lyx 1.3.1 crash
Thanks a lot Uwe. Installing the fonts fixed the problem. I figured I should let people know for future reference. -Henry Uwe Stöhr wrote: I've been using this the Cygwin port of Lyx 1.3.1 with XFree86 for some time now and it has been working fairly well.

There should be a directory on your computer where all packages you've downloaded for cygwin are saved. Try to reinstall the old version XFree86 4.2, but I assume that you need to reinstall the whole Cygwin again. Because upgrading to version 4.3 and xfig worked fine on my win2000 machine. I've had some troubles with cygwin in the past and the only solution was to kill cygwin including the registry entries (but be careful). Basically, Lyx crashes whenever it tries to display a math character such as \pi . The message it gives is Another reason for your problem could be the fonts. Assure that you use the actual fonts in your directory "xfonts". The fonts can be downloaded from http://www.fkurth.de/uwest/LyX/fonts.zip Extract the file and copy the fonts to your .lyx\..\xfonts and /or cygwin\..\xfonts directory. Now reconfigure LyX. But attention LyX kills these fonts while reconfiguring, so that you have to add them again to the "xfonts" directories. And here another hint: Do not install the version 0.12.x of the package libintl2. When you use internationalized menues in LyX this could be a problem. Try to reinstall the old version 0.11.x. That's all I can help you. regards uwe
Re: Lyx for Win32, troubleshooting, Results
John Levon wrote: QT 2.3 was the only version released with a free licence. Of course, if you and other Win32 users were to chip in and buy LyX a commercial Win32 Qt licence... Isn't the LyX founder Matthias Ettrich able to underwrite a QT3 licence? I heared he's working for Trolltech. Given that (unfortunately) technically the resulting product is illegal, I can't see that happening. Could you explain this to me? Right now, Lyx is compatible with the Qt toolkit for unix (which is under the GPL). What prevents a single Lyx developer from buying the single user windows Qt toolkit from Trolltech for $1500, and compiling and releasing (not selling) the resulting binary? If the Qt library is so portable, the necessary changes for cygwin compatibility should be minor and could be incorporated into the main source tree. Then the "Lyx Qt" developer might have very little work besides compiling each new release. It sounds like there are legal issues in the way, but I think it might be possible to raise the $1500 from Lyx users otherwise. -Henry
Cygwin Lyx 1.3.1 crash
I've been using this the Cygwin port of Lyx 1.3.1 with XFree86 for some time now and it has been working fairly well. ( http://wwwserv1.rz.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/lyx/ ) Recently, I wanted installed a few new components to my Cygwin system and I it updated me to XFree86 4.3.

Basically, Lyx crashes whenever it tries to display a math character such as \pi . The message it gives is BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) id: 8388792 This could be a very simple font or setup problem, but I've tried resinatlling everything multiple times in different orders to no avail. I've also tried turning all dbg levels from 5-10 and that's still the only message I get. Does this sound familar to anyone and/or give a hint where the problem is? I've included the file generating by "cygcheck -s" just in case that helps.

Re: Theorems layout package update
Hi Bala, Thanks again, this package is great! It's exactly what I was looking for. It gives me good lyx theorem support for standard Latex formats. The layout files also act as nice templates so I can build my own Lyx layouts. -Henry Bala Amavasai wrote: > > Hi Henry, thanks for both your mails. Yes you were right in both instances.

Theorems and Conjectures
I am writing a technical paper that will have some theorems and conjectures in it. I like the standard "article" style the best, and would like to use it. But it does not support Lyx friendly Theorems and Conjectures by default. I can force it with latex parts, but it won't be WSIWYM. On the other hand, I don't like the style of "amsart" articles. But they support standard theorem and conjectures styles. I've tried editing the premable to make this style look like the standard "article", but there are many things to change. Does anybody have a standard "article" type style that includes Lyx style theorems? Is it easy to add these things to Lyx. I know how to add them to latex. Or does anybody have a style file that makes "amsart" look like "article"? Thanks for your help. -Henry Pfister
