Install Fourier package/style
I managed to get the Fourier-GUT package installed on my laptop, but now I have a netbook that I need to sync with the laptop files and *cannot* seem to find the info on how to install the Fourier-GUT in LyX. I tried doing what the readme said regarding using updmap, but keep getting an error that says "could not find fourier.map at all." The file IS there, because I hunted around in the Fourier-GUT folders and found it. But the install is not finding it. Please note I am running Linux 8 Helena on my brand-new Gateway LT2108u netbook, so the above was accomplished via terminal. I have only been using Linux about 6 mos, so I don't know all the geek-speak (very little, actually). The instructions I've found usually seem written in ancient Sumerian, as I only recently left the Windows environment where you just click an .exe file and everything is installed for you. Simple, newbie, dummy-proof English would be most appreciated!! Thanks, Karen
Font error
After importing an OpenOffice document into LyX, I am now formatting into book
form but encountered an error in part of the text when converting to PDF
(pdflatex and ps2pdf):
Errors:
Font LGR/cmr/m/n/10=grmn1000 at 10.0pt not loadable:Metric (TFM) file not
fo[und]
Font LGR/cmr/m/n/10=grmn1000 at 10.0pt not loadable:Metric (TFM) file not
fo[und]
Description:
...ht{}! But for the time bein\textgreek{'}
I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.
[Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.]
You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `l\font='.
.
The text in question is formatted the same as all the rest of the text, which I
am copy-pasting one chapter at a time. Chapters 1-3 worked fine to convert to
PDF, but this text in Chapter 4 returns the above error. At the end of "But for
the time bein" is an apostrophe, to indicate dialect (bein' = being minus the
g). The font is the same as the text immediately before/same as the entire
chapter, as well as the three preceding chapters.
The original document was done in OpenOffice 2.0 in Windows, then imported into
LyX 1.6.2 running on Linux Mint 7 Gloria.
How do I remedy this? I tried deleting the text in question, starting a little
ways before it and retyping it, but with the same result. I also tried
selecting a chunk of text and changing it to various other formats, like Sans
Serif and Huger, then back again, but this tactic was also unsuccessful.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Help needed: LyX files Win->Linux Mint Gloria 7
Hello, I created a number of files in LyX under Windows Vista, saved in .lyx format. I have just migrated over to Linux Mint Gloria 7, and now my files will not open. I receive an error message: /media/FreeAgent Drive/Encryption Folder/Seagate Backup/KRT-PC/C/Users/KRT/Documents/Writing/GTG_TWI_newedit_test.lyx is not a readable LyX document. I also tried the files I had copied to a data DVD, but cannot open them either. Both the Windows Lyx and the Linux LyX are the latest release, 1.6.2. This is extremely important, as these are manuscripts representing several years of work. At present I cannot simply open them in Windows, as my Windows installation was not working and the recovery disks are unsuccessful (ticket open with the laptop mfr). Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Karen
