Hi Andreas et al, A possible workaround, should you be looking for one, is to choose “Use non-TeX fonts (via XeTeX/LuaTeX)” in document settings, and choose your particular Palatino font variant from the Roman menu. The default compiler appears to be XeTeX, but you can choose either “PDF (LuaTeX)

Is that different to Ancient Greek? Perhaps the GFS fonts (included in texlive) fit the bill? Or the full Gentium font? Regards Shay On Sun, 19 Apr 2020 at 02:00, Bernd wrote: > I am looking for an archaic Greek font. (Not sure it is the right forum...) > > I downloaded one from MiKTeX (https

Hi Rich, I took a quick look at this. It seems to work fine as long as it’s not in a float (which I guess kind of makes sense now I think about it…). As soon as you put it in a float, that’s when I get the effect you describe, so try Inserting the Table on a blank paragraph in normal text mode.

I like Yaml. Easy to read, easy to type, easy for humans to comprehend. I think I’d prefer it. You could also have a look at CSS syntax as it’s kind of a halfway house between Yaml and JSON. Not sure how you’d deal with hierarchical data though. My thoughts on JSON are that if you’re going to use

There is another instance where the ability to update previews would be nice, namely when you change the maths font. (I usually do this in the document preamble.) I use lualatex for most things but I’d imagine the issue remains for other TeX variants too. Sometimes I don’t get around to changing t

Try sticking this [1] into the preamble: \let\oldfootnote\footnote \renewcommand\footnote[1]{% \oldfootnote{\hspace{1mm}#1}} Change “1mm” to whatever distance you require. It looks to me (in my limited experience) that this code automates Michael’s answer above. [1] Found at: http://tex.s

Victor, What platform are you on? On LyX 2.1.3 you can find it under the Insert > Special Character menu where it should also tell you the keyboard shortcut. For example, on my Linux machine it is Left Alt+. [i.e. the full stop character]. Hope this helps. Shay On 2 August 2015 at 23:48, Vic
