ergonomics | cursor in the center of the screen

2011-04-29 Thread Jelle Feringa
Hi,

I've got an idea for Lyx 2; it would be great if its possible to keep the cursor
 at the center of the screen while typing.
 When you are editing at the end of the file loaded in lyx, your cursor also 
ends up there, which is ergonomically speaking terrible... keeping the cursor
 in the center and rather scrolling the text when you place the cursor the
 next / previous line is much better. Scrivener has such a function
it would be great to see this included.

Cheers,

lyx is still not finding storno.sty.

Hi Paul,

Aha! That offers some insight!
Same thing happes no matter whether I export latex(plain) || latex(pdflatex).

brutus:Desktop jelleferinga$ pdflatex newfile1.tex 
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.1415926-1.40.9 (Web2C 7.5.7)
 %-line parsing enabled.

kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt
I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'!

Thanks

install otf font using otfinst.py

2010-04-18 Thread jelle feringa
Hi,

I'm interested in adding a few otf fonts;
Following http://web.willbenton.com/writing/2008/better-latex, I'm trying to do 
so
 with the otfinst.py script. After setting:

export TEXMFMAIN='/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf'
export TEXMFLOCAL='~/Library/texmf'
export TEXMF={$TEXMFLOCAL:$TEXMFMAIN}

updmap spots that new files have been added.
After I press reconfigure in Lyx, and add \usepackage{storno} in the preamble,
 I still do get: LaTeX Error: File `storno.sty' not found.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

-jelle
