Re: various fonts in math equations
Hi, I have checked my MikTeX files, and I see that the isomath package is probably already there (there are directories \source, \doc]latex, \tex\latex, tmp\packages, doc\latex\isomath, all in c:\Program Files\MikTeX 2.0 ). I also have the access to the \mathbf fonts from the level of LyX. However, I cannot get the italic+bold effect on my computer. Choosing the \mathbf function produces upright bold characters. The same happens when I choose \boldsymbol. But, I have also installed seemingly the same MikTeX and LyX versions on my laptop, and on the laptop I am able to obtain italic+bold, by choosing \boldsymbol, if I remember. I regret I am not really literatate in LaTeX to be able to verify what I actually have installed and what not. So, my question is, what should I do, step by step, to have italic+bold on both computers, under LyX? Leslaw

How to make your letter "D" to be not only Bold but also Italic? Leslaw
various fonts in math equations
Hi, I am using LyX on a PC operating under Windows XP, with MikTeX. I need to have math equations containing symbols written with various fonts. By using the terminology of MS Word/Windows, I need the following combinations: 1) Italic 2) Bold 3) Italic+Bold I have been able to have 1 in Lyx (this in fact appears by default while typing the formulae). I have also been able to have 2, which can be done if I change the font to /mathbf in the equation editor. But I have not been able to achieve 3. Is there any way to do this? The point is that I'd like to see these effects not only in LyX itself, but also (or maybe in the first place) in the pdf file generated by LyX. Leslaw

For anyone that may be interested in the future: It seems that I have solved the problem, at least partially. The LyX templates for svmono seem to be incomplete, but if I export the Springer TeX templates directly into LyX, I find the error as I indicated previously. The error is just one incorrect character instead of the apostrophe in the name O'Connell. After correcting the character the whole stuff compiles OK. Leslaw

After dozens of different attempts, it seems to me that the first problem is that LyX provides templates for some of the svmono class documents, but not all of them. One of the error messages that I get is: Could not load included file ...path...\svmono_referenc.lyx and Could not load included file ...path...\svmono_solutions.lyx So, it seems that these files are needed by the other LyX templates for svmono files, but LyX does not provide the templates for them, so that I am not able to create these files with LyX. If, instead, I import the book.tex template directly from the Springer svmono class (without making use of LyX templates), and try to view it in pdf format, I get other errors: "Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined" Description: "...phil-DOI} Suleiman, Camelia, Daniel C. O’ Connell, You need to provide a definition with \DeclareInputText or \DeclareInputMath before using this key." This seems to indicate that the files with references are read this time, but cannot be parsed by LyX. I have to admit that I am beginning to doubt in the supposed advantages of LaTeX and LyX that are so much advertised. So far I cannot view even a single document written by the authors of LyX !

copying from MS Word to LyX
Hi, I am new to LaTeX and LyX. I have a document written in MS Word, containing lots of math equations plus text, and I want to copy it into LyX. Is there any way to do it? I see that this issue was discussed in the past in this forum, and the suggestion was to write the doc file in the html format, and then import the html file into LyX. However, I do not see any option in LyX, to import or read html. So, how can I make the conversion? I want to use the Springer svmono class for the final document. I have installed the class. Will that be possible? Leslaw
installing LyX
Hello, I am new to LaTex and LyX. I want to install LyX under Windows XP. Which installer should I use, and what exactly should I install, if I have nothing related to LaTex previously installed on my computer? I am asking, because I cannot see a relevant explanation in the LyX web pages, but rather some confusing statements regarding the relationships of LyX with MikTex and CygWin. Is CygWin necessary for running LyX? There are two installers, one smaller, seemingly without MiKTex, and the other bigger, with MiKTex, but the first one (not the second one) is stated to install also MiKTex. This seems inconsistent. My further question is: can I install LyX on a computer which is not connected to internet? Do the installers download something from the web during the installation? L.B.
