bug report: latex error
BUG #1:
When trying to "View Postscript" on the file attached to this message,
I get dialog box "There were errors during the LaTeX run ... 8 errors
detected". I believe this should not happen and is thus a bug.
I'm using LyX/Qt 1.3.4 from official Debian Sarge package
on Linux/x86.
BUG #2:
Select (eg. with mouse) the equation so that selection begins and ends just
outside the equation. Press "!" button, which turns emphasis off for
the equation and makes the text in the equation upright. Select "View
Postscript" (by the way, this time it gives just 6 errors).
Since removing the emphasis did not help, try undoing the change by
pressing Ctrl-Z.
And voila: instead of reverting the equation back to emphasis on, LyX
removes whole equation! This is a nasty bug, could destroy document.
Next I'll find if I can find a workaround for the first one.
Please keep me on the CC, I'm not subscribed.
I didn't use bugzilla, too lazy to create account and check
if somebody has already reported these bugs.

Setting "printing not allowed" in pdf files
I'm writing some lab exercise instructions for students. Since there are many of them, I haven't put the instructions online as PDF to save printers and paper. But I know PDF has a feature to disable printing, and if I could use that feature from LyX/pdflatex, it would be great. Is it possible to set a flag in PDF files using LyX/pdflatex or something else on Linux, that disallows printing in most programs? I know this is easy to work around, but the intention is not to stop students completely from printing the file, but just encourage that. I'm using Debian Sarge.
embedding all fonts into .pdf
ICIP 2004 paper upload system requires that _all_ fonts are embedded into the pdf file (also the 13 standard ones). The tools (pdflatex/ghostscript) refused initially to do this, and I thought someone would like to hear my solution or suggest better one. I'm running Debian Stable 3.0. First, I updated teTeX into version 2 and AFPL Ghostscript into version 8. Then I replaced file /etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg with the new version given in http://great-white.csee.usf.edu/latex.html and running update-updmap (the last command is Debian-specific). This produced embedded fonts from the lyx/tex document, but I had .eps figures (created with Xfig and gnuplot) that I converted into .pdf with epstopdf which uses Ghostscript to do the job and the figures still used non-embedded fonts. My solution was to modify file /usr/share/gs-afpl/8.14/lib/gs_pdfwr.ps and change lines /.standardfonts [ /Courier /Courier-Bold /Courier-Oblique /Courier-BoldOblique /Helvetica /Helvetica-Bold /Helvetica-Oblique /Helvetica-BoldOblique /Times-Roman /Times-Bold /Times-Italic /Times-BoldItalic /Symbol /ZapfDingbats ] readonly def into /.standardfonts [ % /Courier /Courier-Bold /Courier-Oblique /Courier-BoldOblique % /Helvetica /Helvetica-Bold /Helvetica-Oblique /Helvetica-BoldOblique % /Times-Roman /Times-Bold /Times-Italic /Times-BoldItalic % /Symbol /ZapfDingbats ] readonly def This change looks quite ugly to me, but everything else (specifically using -dEmbedAllFonts=true) failed. If someone has better solution, let me know. pdffonts which comes with xpdf proved to be useful. After the above changes, it showed that all fonts were embedded: name type emb sub uni object ID --- --- --- - SSAHIC+NimbusRomNo9L-MediType 1 yes yes no 33 0 UMJGWR+NimbusRomNo9L-ReguItalType 1 yes yes no 36 0 EFBTTN+NimbusRomNo9L-ReguType 1 yes yes no 39 0 OVWQVK+CMR10 Type 1 yes yes no 43 0 SBCRSY+CMSY10Type 1 yes yes no 46 0 BDJSKG+CMMI10Type 1 yes yes no 56 0 GLEXWD+CMR7 Type 1 yes yes no 59 0 CBLBIL+Times-Roman Type 1C yes yes no 63 0 NXBGXQ+Helvetica Type 1C yes yes no 122 0 NXRCNG+Helvetica Type 1C yes yes no 129 0 FKKSGH+Helvetica Type 1C yes yes no 136 0 FKKSGH+Helvetica Type 1C yes yes no 143 0 FABNJM+Helvetica Type 1C yes yes no 150 0 JODAIJ+Helvetica Type 1C yes yes no 157 0

If you have older LyX, it doesn't have the Z in menus directly.
In this case, select Layout/LaTeX Preamble and type there:

A little bit, yes. But I can only remember one PDF that didn't display properly, and it was probably created wrongly. Generally I'm quite satisfied with the portability of PDF files.

IEEEtran biography (IEEE)
I'm using oldish LyX 1.1.6fix4 and newer IEEEtran package (IEEEtran.cls
2002/11/18 version V1.6b). How is the Biography environment supposed to be
used? A single entry works fine, but I don't know how to insert several
biographies one after another without another environment in between (I
inserted a hard space ctrl+space with standard environment between two
biographies, works, but feels dumb.) Also I don't know if it's possible to
insert author photos without ERT?
I found this which tells how to use real photos there
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg12625.html
but it doesn't help for the first problem, seems to have the same problem
(might help possibly later when I really want the photos there, for now
blank placeholders are fine).
I also tried manually entering something like
\begin{biography}{Name Name}
gffggffg
\end{biography}
and using ERT, but I get strange error "use of \\biography doesn't match
its definition" (with two slashes!).
Also any other tips/links concerning using the IEEEtran class are welcomed.

cropping postscript?
Is there a way to crop arbitrary subrectangle from a postscript file, from arbitrary position? I tried printing 218x91.5 cm page (landscape), but the printer run out of memory and printed only 120x91.5 cm from the right part of the page (well, poster...). So now I want to crop the page and print _left_ part of the page, using page size of about 98x91.5 or so. I tried using psutils (pstops) but couldn't achieve that... I also tried editing "BoundingBox" in the Postscript file by hand (is it that which tells the printer what page size to use?). This way I was able to crop the right half of the page, leaving out the left part... which is just the opposite what I'm trying to do.

llncs and references problem (1.1.6fix4)
I'm trying to use the llncs style. But if I use the "Bibliography" style, I

LaTeX error: something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
I exported to TeX and renamed the \lyxbibliography in the \begin{} and
\end{} to \thebibliography. Now it works. But I can't do this in LyX
(AFAIK), so I tried to fix in the LyX by adding red TeX command:
\renewcommand{\lyxbibliography}{\thebibliography}

reference is unintended by a large amount, which is astounding. Example:

I have been Easy way: edit /etc/profile (if you're using bash) and add these lines: if [ -x $HOME/texmf ]; then export TEXINPUTS=$HOME/texmf: fi Then create directory ~/texmf and copy your files to it. However, in my Debian system, file /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf contains line HOMETEXMF = $HOME/texmf which adds directory ~/texmf to the TeX directory tree--but it is not so easy to use, because you can not simply copy files to ~/texmf, but you must create a valid directory tree structure there, or TeX won't find the files. So, if you're not using the TEXINPUTS variable, you must do: mkdir -p ~/texmf/tex/latex/local and copy class files (.cls) in the above created directory.

I don't use CVS, but trying with hand: when this is saved, it'll look in
.lyx file something like this:
\latex latex
$Log$
When CVS modifies this, it'll replace it with multiple lines:
\latex latex
$Log version string$
Some other
lines here
When this is now loaded back to LyX, the lines are concatenated. When it's
again saved, the result is:
\latex latex
$Log version string$Some otherlines here
...and now CVS probably doesn't understand it anymore.

Right. You could try using this instead:
\newcommand{\cvsver}{\$$Log$\$}
\cvsver
\cvsver will the print the CVS version string where ever you insert it. It
will be displayed actually in math mode, so it's in italic. I hope it
doesn't matter.
You could also use:
\newcommand{\cvsver}{$Log$}
\cvsver

It's quite straightforward document, so I wouldn't expect problems. The
only custom command in preamble is
\usepackage[17pt]{extsizes}
but it doesn't help removing this. I have some eps figures in the document,
and they work fine with PostScript output.
i tried editing the .tex file and removing everything unneeded. Still
doesn't work. I'm using package algorithm (ie. algorithm floats), which
might not be supported in latex2html.

It might be best just to write "References" (or whatever word you use) and
mark it as "Section*" style, for example. Ie. you wouldn't use LyX/LaTeX

You write that exactly as it is (and use \ instead of /, by the way).
Nothing more is necessary for preamble, for main document you also need
to select the command (eg. paint it as cyan with mouse) and press the TeX

In my opinion, pdflatex creates higher quality output, but it is more difficult to use. - if you use pdflatex, your images must be in PDF format. But LyX can't then show them. - With pdflatex, you can use hyperlinks with package hyperref. I don't know if it works with usual LaTeX which goes to PostScript (I would guess not). - With pdflatex you can set the document title, keywords etc. that'll show with Acroread (not with xpdf :( ) Also, some latex document that I have written don't work with pdflatex, but only with latex. I don't know why, they should.

The LyX window *does* stay maximized, but it is moved bottommost among other windows, and that's the reason it disappears when I minimize a dialog: another window that was previously behind the LyX main window becomes above it. And that's IceWM issue, sure. I still don't understand why other programs don't behave similarly.

When I minimize some LyX dialog, LyX main window gets minimized also. I don't want this because then I have to maximize it again (but I like to have dialogs like math panel minimized out of way) I think it didn't do that before. Has the behaviour changed and could it be changed back to the old? Hmm. Maybe this is caused by my window manager. I've always used IceWM, but maybe its behaviour has been changed. Anyone aware of that? Nevertheless, I don't have this problem with other programs than LyX.

Thanks! It works now.
I suppose it wouldn't work with the older version of the
tocloft? Too bad, now the user is required to have correct
version of packages. Well, not a problem, nobody except
me should be able to LaTeX this document anyway... this time.
LaTeX Error: Command \c@lofdepth already defined
I'm afraid this is LaTeX problem, not directly LyX.. anyway, here it goes.
When I try to LaTeX my document, I get the following two problems:
! LaTeX Error: Command \c@lofdepth already defined.
Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.
! LaTeX Error: Command \c@lotdepth already defined.
Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.
If I just press enter to keep going on, the result seems to be fine.
However, it disallows me from using "view ps" from LyX menu.
The problem happens only when I use subfigures from Figure menu.
Also I need to use \usepackage{tocloft} in the preamble,
without that the error doesn't appear.
It did *not* happen when I used teTeX with RedHat 6.2, but only
after I upgraded to Debian Woody and its tetex version.
The same file should work with RH 6.2.
I attached an example file (you need also tmp.eps, but any eps
image should go)
I'm using lyx 1.1.6fix3 (no fix4 yet in woody, it appears)

Select English in LyX, if it is not enough, you may need to configure LaTeX. In teTeX that can be done with "texconfig" as root. Then select the languages you want from the menus (this is necessary at least for correct hyphenation)

I found the solution: I inserted \makeatletter in the beginning
and then it latexed perfectly.
However, reLyX couldn't remove the comments automatically.
I had to issue command
sed 's,%.*,,g' tmp.tex
before reLyX accepted the input. Maybe it doesn't ignore
comments when splitting the tex file to preamble and the body,
because it looked like it would have splitted at a wrong place.
Now I have working lyx template for this:

getting .sty file work with LyX
I'm writing a paper to ICIP'2002. There's a LaTeX
.sty file. Is there any *quick* and easy way to get it
to work with LyX? I took the sty-file and appended, at the
end, lines
\begin{document}
\end{document}
and in the beginning
\documentclass[english]{article}
However, it still isn't a valid LaTeX file that I could simply
"import" to LyX (it complains about missing \begin{document} if I
try to latex it.) How could I import the style file into LyX?
What's the difference between allowed commands in .sty file and
.tex file preamble?

Then join the separate files with psutils. "psmerge" is the correct command, I think. Of course this won't work if the same page might have parts from two reports.

You can press ctrl-enter, which fixes the columns back to the normal three. If you want to delete the last line in a multiline equation, create a new line (ctrl-enter), copy the second-to- last line (which is now third) to the last line, and then delete the two extra lines with ctrl-k. A bit tedious, but works for me. >5. Is there a shortcut to insert delimeters?
