Creating screen reader accessible PDF using Lyx

2009-02-14 Thread Luke Lindsay
I would like to create PDF documents that can be read easily with a 
screen reader.


When I run the automated accessibility check in Acrobat on my Lyx 
created pdf, it comes up with the following problems:


* This document is not tagged; the reading order of the contents 
may be incorrect.

* 44 images(s) with no alternate text.
* All of the text in this document lacks a language specification.
* 587 words(s) that contain characters with no reliable mapping to 
Unicode.


One option is to fix the problems manually in Acrobat but this is a lot 
of work.


I have found the following experimental patch for pdftex but have not 
tried it yet:

Are there any other options or workarounds.  Any pointers greatly 
appreciated.

Matching fonts in figures (.EPS) with font in main text

2008-07-31 Thread Luke Lindsay
I am using Lyx to write my thesis.  I have a number of figures in EPS 
format which are produced by various programs (Stata, Maple, Open office 
draw).  I would like the fonts in the figures to be consistent with the 
one used in the main body of the text, i.e. same font and size.  What is 
the best way to achieve this?  Ideally, I'd like to be able to change 
the font in used in the main document have font used in the figures 
updated automatically but I’m not sure if this is possible.
