I did what you said above now. But still
 not working. Here is what I did:

 Put the xetexCV.layout file in the same working 
folder as your LyX file.

Did that too.


 The example LyX file uses the font Minion Pro,
which is a licensed font
you have to purchase. I substituted Fontin Regular.
 You also need Fontin
Sans. Both are available for free here:

I installed those 2 fonts also with Font Book.

 
 http://www.exljbris.com
 
 Use Font Book to add fonts to your OS X installation. 
In LyX, with the example LyX file open, use
 Document - Settings - Fonts.
 Check the choice to use non-Tex fonts, then
 change the Roman font from
 Minion Pro to Fontin
 Regular and the Sans font to Fontin Sans. 

After installing those fonts, I have one option
 for Fontin Regular,
but I have 10 different 'Fontin Sans' choices.
 One of these is called
 'Fontin Sans Regular' - should I choose this
 one? (For now, I have done so).


 
 
 I also had to go into Documents - Settings - LaTeX Preamble
 and edit the
path to JRR-Tolkien.jpg to 
the correct one for my installation rather than
the author's.


I tried doing that. The method I used to get
 the address was clicking 'get
info' on the jpg file, 
and then where it says 'where', I copied the address.
It looks like this:
/Applications/Lyx stuff/For making CV/xetexCV-LyX

So I pasted exactly that to replace the original
 address, so it now looks
like this:

\cvimage{/Applications/Lyx stuff/For making
 CV/xetexCV-LyX/JRR-Tolkien.jpg} 

Was that right?
One thing I still get when I open the example lyx file is 2

Re: Trying to install xetexCV document class

[Richard Talley]

Hi Justin,

It's a very bad practice to put working documents anywhere in your
Applications folder (among other things the permissions won't be correct).
The Applications folder belongs to the system and should be reserved for
applications. Put your own documents somewhere in your home directory.

You might drop the xetexCV-LyX folder containing the four files for the
Tolkien CV example into your Documents folder. Then the path for the image
on your machine would be:

/Users/justinJustin/Documents/xetexCV-LyX/JRR-Tolkien.jpg

(Please note that the LaTeX Preamble for the example LyX file has an
explicit comment: The Image Path Cannot Include Spaces. The path you were
trying to use included spaces.)

I also got the 'unknown token' error when I first started playing with this
example file. It went away once I set the document to use fonts actually
installed on my system.

Your installation is defaulting to using a DVI output, which you probably
don't want or need to mess with. If you look under the View menu in LyX
with the example file loaded, the default (which is bound to Command-R and
to the 'eyes' icon on the toolbar) is set to DVI something (probably
LuaTeX). Set the document to explicitly use PDF (XeTeX) in Document -
Settings - Output - Default Output Format. Once you have taken care of
the other problems and can successfully typeset the example file, the pdf
should automatically open in whatever you have set as a default pdf viewer
(probably Preview).

The font errors you're getting mean that the fonts you installed don't have
the correct sizing information for the way they're being used in this
document. Two things to try:

1. Try specifying other fonts already installed on your system. Note that
working through XeTeX, LyX has no way to determine which fonts are Serif
(Roman) and which are Sans Serif so it just lists them all. Use FontBook to
examine the fonts you have installed.

2. I bet you installed Type1 Fontin fonts because that's what the font
designer advised on his downloads page. Ignore that advice. Using FontBook
remove the Type1 fonts then download and install the OpenType ones instead.

And yes, use the Fontin Regular for Roman and Fontin Sans Regular for Sans.
That's what the xetexCV class was designed around and gives a very nice
result.

Re: Trying to install xetexCV document class

More on the xetexCV layout.

You don't actually have to specify Fontin Regular and Fontin Sans in
Document - Settings - Fonts as the xetexCV class specifies those fonts as
the defaults already. If you don't have the Fontin fonts installed and
don't specify others, then you'll get errors about missing fonts. You can
always specify anything that's on your Mac, as this is xetex. Hoefler Text
for Roman and Helvetica for Sans gives a nice result.

The layout is nice but fairly limited. If your needs are very similar to
the author's, such as in the example LyX file he provides, then it's very
easy to use.

The custom 'years' inset in the layout works well for just years, as in the
example. If you add months so the text goes over one line, the formatting
is not good. I worked around that by making the text smaller so it fits on
one line.

The layout as provided doesn't provide for itemized lists, so I added that.
But they don't format properly with the rest of the entries. I worked
around that temporarily by putting the list in the CV I'm working on into a
minipage box and adjusting the scaling.

Too much finger painting, but the CV looks very nice. I think I'll rewrite
the layout so it's more robust and flexible; a good excuse for learning
about LyX layouts in detail.

 The xetexCV.cls class file should go in ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex (create

 Put the cvsplitbib.sty style file in the same place.
 Then reconfigure LyX.

 Class and style files are part of TeX. Additional class and style files
 can be added to your TeX Live installation, as you're doing here.

 Layout files are specific to LyX. They are what allow LyX to make use of
 TeX class files. Go back to the instructions you linked to originally and
 find the zip file that contains the layout file. There are actually two zip
 files you need to download in order to have a complete set of files. There
 is xetexCV.zip, which contains some sample TeX files as well as xetexCV.cls
 and cvsplitbib.sty. There is also a xetexCV-LyX.zip, which contains a
 working LyX example and the xetexCV.layout file.

 Put the xetexCV.layout file in the same working folder as your LyX file.
 With it in the same folder, you don't need to bother with the Local Layout
 setting.

 I was able to typeset the example file (a CV of J.R.R. Tolkien) by making
 the following changes:

 The example LyX file uses the font Minion Pro, which is a licensed font
 you have to purchase. I substituted Fontin Regular. You also need Fontin
 Sans. Both are available for free here:

 http://www.exljbris.com

 Use Font Book to add fonts to your OS X installation. In LyX, with the
 example LyX file open, use Document - Settings - Fonts. Check the
 choice to use non-Tex fonts, then change the Roman font from Minion Pro
 to Fontin Regular and the Sans font to Fontin Sans.

 I also had to go into Documents - Settings - LaTeX Preamble and edit the
 path to JRR-Tolkien.jpg to the correct one for my installation rather
 than the author's.

 Typeset with View - PDF [XeTeX}

 It's a good looking CV. Thanks. I can make use of this layout.

 Hi Richard,
 Some of what you said was a little out of my depth I think. But I did
 understand your last sentence included above.

 So now looking back at your original instructions I have done perhaps all
 of it:

 1) Put the xetexCV.cls file here:

 ~/Library/texmf DONE

 2) Reconfigure is under the LyX menu:

 LyX - Reconfigure DONE

 3) When you start your document, point it to your local layout:

 Document - Settings - Document Class - Local Layout...

 This bit I am stuck at now. I got to Document Class and was disappointed
 not
 to see it on the list from the drop down menu where I thought it should
 be.
 I clicked then on local layout like you said, and that let me click
 through my computer to find the ~/Library/texmf folder. But although I can
 see the xetexCV.cls inside it, it is grayed out, so I cannot select it.
 Any ideas?

 Thank you!

Re: Trying to install xetexCV document class

[Richard Talley]

OK.

Something that Linux, OS X and Windows all share is the concept of
'environmental variables' - these are variables whose content specify
certain locations or otherwise customize the behavior of programs. As a
Unix-style operating system, OS X uses Unix environmental variables.

To see all the environmental variables on your machine, use this command in
the Terminal:

set

You'll get a list of these variables. One of them will say:

HOME=/Users/justinJustin

That's your home directory in the OS X file structure. When you set up your
account you were asked to specify your full name and also an account name.
The latter was used for the name of your home directory.

~/ is Unix shorthand for the home directory in any account, so on your
machine, when you're logged into your account, ~/ and /Users/justinJustin
mean the same thing. Saves on typing.

Keep in mind that MacTeX is just a version of TeX Live adapted to the
peculiarities of OS X. There are configuration variables (not Unix
environmental variables) that are specific to your installation of TeX
Live. This command:

kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME

uses a command line utility that was installed as part of TeX Live to find
what the variable TEXMFHOME is set to in your installation.

For more information, refer to section 2.3 Overview of the predefined texmf
trees, in The Tex Live Guide-2013:

http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html

That documentation should also be part of your MacTeX installation. I keep
this link:

file:///usr/local/texlive/2013/readme-html.dir/readme.en.html

bookmarked in Safari. It will take you to your local copy of 'Welcome to
TeX Live' which contains links to your local documentation.

You may have noticed that I use both 'directory' and 'folder'. 'Directory'
is Unix-speak for what most now call a 'folder'. I'm in the habit of using
'folder' when I'm in the GUI and/or dealing with people who know nothing
about the Terminal or the other Unix underpinnings of OS X. I use
'directory' when I'm at the command line.

And yes, create the folder (or directory) 'texmf' in your home folder and
put your xexexCV.cls file in it.

Hi Richard,
Some of what you said was a little out of my depth I think. But I did
understand your last sentence included above.

So now looking back at your original instructions I have done perhaps all of it:

1) Put the xetexCV.cls file here:

~/Library/texmf DONE

2) Reconfigure is under the LyX menu:

LyX - Reconfigure DONE

3) When you start your document, point it to your local layout:

Document - Settings - Document Class - Local Layout...

This bit I am stuck at now. I got to Document Class and was disappointed not
to see it on the list from the drop down menu where I thought it should be.
I clicked then on local layout like you said, and that let me click
through my computer to find the ~/Library/texmf folder. But although I can
see the xetexCV.cls inside it, it is grayed out, so I cannot select it.
Any ideas?

Thank you!

Re: Trying to install xetexCV document class

[Richard Talley]

If working with the terminal and configuration variables put you out of
your depth, then TeX and LyX may not be appropriate tools until you're more
familiar with OS X.

In any case, I should follow my own advice and read the documentation (it's
been a while since I've done this).

The xetexCV.cls class file should go in ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex (create
folders as necessary).
Put the cvsplitbib.sty style file in the same place.
Then reconfigure LyX.

Class and style files are part of TeX. Additional class and style files can
be added to your TeX Live installation, as you're doing here.

Layout files are specific to LyX. They are what allow LyX to make use of
TeX class files. Go back to the instructions you linked to originally and
find the zip file that contains the layout file. There are actually two zip
files you need to download in order to have a complete set of files. There
is xetexCV.zip, which contains some sample TeX files as well as xetexCV.cls
and cvsplitbib.sty. There is also a xetexCV-LyX.zip, which contains a
working LyX example and the xetexCV.layout file.

Put the xetexCV.layout file in the same working folder as your LyX file.
With it in the same folder, you don't need to bother with the Local Layout
setting.

I was able to typeset the example file (a CV of J.R.R. Tolkien) by making
the following changes:

The example LyX file uses the font Minion Pro, which is a licensed font you
have to purchase. I substituted Fontin Regular. You also need Fontin Sans.
Both are available for free here:

http://www.exljbris.com

Use Font Book to add fonts to your OS X installation. In LyX, with the
example LyX file open, use Document - Settings - Fonts. Check the choice
to use non-Tex fonts, then change the Roman font from Minion Pro to Fontin
Regular and the Sans font to Fontin Sans.

I also had to go into Documents - Settings - LaTeX Preamble and edit the
path to JRR-Tolkien.jpg to the correct one for my installation rather than
the author's.

Typeset with View - PDF [XeTeX}

It's a good looking CV. Thanks. I can make use of this layout.

Hi Rich,
I did that in my terminal, and it says this:
Justins-MacBook-Pro:~ justinJustin$ kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME
/Users/justinJustin/Library/texmf
Justins-MacBook-Pro:~ justinJustin$

I do not know what that means. But like I said when I go to that library
folder I do not see any texmf folder. Does this mean it exists or not?
Should I create one?

Thanks!

Re: Trying to install xetexCV document class

[Richard Talley]

OK.

Something that Linux, OS X and Windows all share is the concept of
'environmental variables' - these are variables whose content specify
certain locations or otherwise customize the behavior of programs. As a
Unix-style operating system, OS X uses Unix environmental variables.

To see all the environmental variables on your machine, use this command in
the Terminal:

set

You'll get a list of these variables. One of them will say:

HOME=/Users/justinJustin

That's your home directory in the OS X file structure. When you set up your
account you were asked to specify your full name and also an account name.
The latter was used for the name of your home directory.

~/ is Unix shorthand for the home directory in any account, so on your
machine, when you're logged into your account, ~/ and /Users/justinJustin
mean the same thing. Saves on typing.

Keep in mind that MacTeX is just a version of TeX Live adapted to the
peculiarities of OS X. There are configuration variables (not Unix
environmental variables) that are specific to your installation of TeX
Live. This command:

kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME

uses a command line utility that was installed as part of TeX Live to find
what the variable TEXMFHOME is set to in your installation.

For more information, refer to section 2.3 Overview of the predefined texmf
trees, in The Tex Live Guide-2013:

http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html

That documentation should also be part of your MacTeX installation. I keep
this link:

file:///usr/local/texlive/2013/readme-html.dir/readme.en.html

bookmarked in Safari. It will take you to your local copy of 'Welcome to
TeX Live' which contains links to your local documentation.

You may have noticed that I use both 'directory' and 'folder'. 'Directory'
is Unix-speak for what most now call a 'folder'. I'm in the habit of using
'folder' when I'm in the GUI and/or dealing with people who know nothing
about the Terminal or the other Unix underpinnings of OS X. I use
'directory' when I'm at the command line.

And yes, create the folder (or directory) 'texmf' in your home folder and
put your xexexCV.cls file in it.

Trying to install xetexCV document class

[justin]

I wanted to install xetexCV document class.
I have been trying to follow these instructions:
http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2010/05/19/latex-cv-part4

I am using Lyx 2.0.6, and the newest MacTex I guess since I downloaded it a
few days ago. And Mac OS 10.9.

Seems like there are 2 steps, one to put it into Lyx, and one to put it into
Tex. (The Tex instructions I have found particularly impossible to understand).

I put the .layout file into the layout folder of lyx. But the instructions
tell me: When finished, reconfigure LyX (Tools-Reconfigure).
However, under Tools, there is not such option as Reconfigure.

Also it says To enable the feature, all you need do is go to Document -
Settings - Output, and then enable the “Use XeLaTeX” feature. but I could
not find Use XeLaTex option.

And, I could not work out how to add the files to Tex. But it does say  For
users of Mac OS X and Windows, XeTeX is included in the MacTeX and MikTeX
distributions (respectively) - does that mean I do not need to add anything
to it, since I installed MacTex?

Re: Trying to install xetexCV document class

[Richard Talley]

The instructions you linked to are out of date in places and incomplete
with reference to dealing with MacTeX.

Put the xetexCV.cls file here:

~/Library/texmf

Reconfigure is under the LyX menu:

LyX - Reconfigure

When you start your document, point it to your local layout:

Document - Settings - Document Class - Local Layout...

The instruction to enable 'Use XeLaTex' is obsolete.

Set the default output to 'PDF(XeTeX) in Document - Settings - Output -
Default Output Format: and use either Command-R or the toolbar icon to
typeset to a PDF.

 distributions (respectively) - does that mean I do not need to add
 anything
 to it, since I installed MacTex?

Hi Rich,
I found the Library folder in my computer, but there is no texmf folder
inside it. The only folder beginning like that is just called Tex. Within
that, it has a folder called Distributions, and then 3 things that are
'Aliases' called Local; Root and Documentation. Should I be putting it in
any of these?

Thanks!

There is a distinct difference between /Library (system wide library
directory) and ~/Library (the library directory in your home directory).
You're looking in the wrong place.

Trying to install xetexCV document class

[justin]

I wanted to install xetexCV document class.
I have been trying to follow these instructions:
http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2010/05/19/latex-cv-part4

I am using Lyx 2.0.6, and the newest MacTex I guess since I downloaded it a
few days ago. And Mac OS 10.9.

Seems like there are 2 steps, one to put it into Lyx, and one to put it into
Tex. (The Tex instructions I have found particularly impossible to understand).

I put the .layout file into the layout folder of lyx. But the instructions
tell me: When finished, reconfigure LyX (Tools-Reconfigure).
However, under Tools, there is not such option as Reconfigure.

Also it says To enable the feature, all you need do is go to Document -
Settings - Output, and then enable the “Use XeLaTeX” feature. but I could
not find Use XeLaTex option.

And, I could not work out how to add the files to Tex. But it does say  For
users of Mac OS X and Windows, XeTeX is included in the MacTeX and MikTeX
distributions (respectively) - does that mean I do not need to add anything
to it, since I installed MacTex?

The instructions you linked to are out of date in places and incomplete
with reference to dealing with MacTeX.

Put the xetexCV.cls file here:

~/Library/texmf

Reconfigure is under the LyX menu:

LyX - Reconfigure

When you start your document, point it to your local layout:

Document - Settings - Document Class - Local Layout...

The instruction to enable 'Use XeLaTex' is obsolete.

Set the default output to 'PDF(XeTeX) in Document - Settings - Output -
Default Output Format: and use either Command-R or the toolbar icon to
typeset to a PDF.
