Re: Lyx 1.5.0 beta1 screen fonts antialiasing?
Hi, Thank you all for the informative replies. After a day of testing and googling, I have finally found the cause of this problem and the solution. The problem is actually quite deep: It is not in LyX, it is not in Qt4, it is because I used a VNC session to use LyX 1.5 and my VNC server (RealVNC) doesn't support the X RENDER extension, which Qt4 uses to display anti-aliased fonts. (Instead, Qt3 doesn't use RENDER for the fonts so Lyx 1.4 displays ok.) Instead of waiting for the next version of RealVNC, I switched to xf4vnc and this problem is solved. The speed now is a little slower, though. best, Sam On 2/28/07, Helge Hafting [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Shu Li wrote: Hi, I am using Red Hat EL4, Qt 4.2.2 and Lyx 1.5.0 beta1.

HTML export, hyperlink doesn't work in LYX 1.4.3
Hi,
I have compiled LYX 1.4.3 on a redhat Linux machine from source, and have
deleted my previous $home/.lyx directory so it should be like a fresh
installation. The problem is I found that when having inserted some URLs by
Insert-URL..., then View-HTML or export to HTML, the URL never got an
underline, nor is it clickable.
And I found checking the box Generate hyperlink when inserting URL has no
effect on the result. No matter I did it or not, the output Latex file
doesn't change, it always produces a \url{my inserted url string}.
I found an ugly fix that first write \usepackage{html} in document preamble,
and then insert a Latex code box(ERT), writing in it \htmlurl{my url}{desc.
for the link} will produce a clickable hyperlink. However it's so ugly and
it looks like that it should be the intended behavior Insert-URL... should
produce.
Is this a common problem, so a bug in 1.4.3? Or is my setting wrong?
Thanks!

Sam
