TOC font changes, adding dots between heading and page
Hi all, Im trying to tweak a few things in my Table of contents. 1) I need to change how Lyx makes all new sections(ie chapter, list of tables, list of figures, etc) in bold font and the corresponding listed page number is in bold as well. I need to make the whole thing in normal font. 2) I need to have the dots that go from section to page number ie: 1.1Background... 1 Apply to all items in the table of contents. Right now, the main chapter titles do not have these dots, nor do items such as list of tables, list of figures etc. Only subsections within each chapter have them, and I need to include them for all entries. 3) Finally, I need to change the title to Table of Contents, not contents I am using Lyx 1.44 on a mac with the report class. Thanks, Charles

It is a big expensive book but a good investment. Cheers, Charles -- http://www.kde-france.org

But the editors at my graduate school are making me change the default Lyx format to their standards and that uses dots for all the sections All of these changes are their doing, not mine. I think it looks great as is...

It took me quite a while to figure out how to add dotted leaders to chapters or sections. This was a requirement for my thesis also. I've attached a simple example of how to add dotted leaders and change the name of the table of contents. Consult the tocloft documentation for the other requirements. Cheers, Bob Lounsbury Thanks bob, that got the name change and the dots correct, but for some reason my List of Tables and List of Figures got dropped from the Table of contents when I added your tex into my preamble... Is there any reason for this, or do I need to add something else? Charles

I don't know the reason, but you can add the Table of Contents, List
of Figures, List of Figures, and BibTeX bibliography to the Table of
contents using
\usepackage{tocbibind}
in the preamble. Or if you just want to add one or the other then you can add
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures}
next to the List of Figures callout in ERT.

So I did that, and it worked. But now my page numbers are off... For the
first sections(acknowlegments, list of tables, list of figures,
abbreviations, etc) I have roman numerals counting. Then the counter starts
at 1 once the text of Chapter one starts. Well now my roman numerals are
off by one page. It says the LOT starts at vi, but it really starts at vii
and so all the other ones are off by one... Is this due to the tocloft
package?

I'm not following. Have you separated your addcontentsline commands?
Here's an example as you've described number acknowledgments, lof, and
lot in roman and the chapter 1 in arabic. There is no page number

Yes, your sample is correct in how I would like it. But, my TOC is two
pages long, so the counter skips the second page of the TOC and labels it
as the first page of the LOT(the next section) So my TOC is on page v and
vi, and the LOT starts at vii, but is being listed as starting at vi. I
hope I explained it better..

That makes sense, but I can't reproduce it. I added chapters and
sections such that the TOC was two pages long and the numbering was
still correct. Something else must be going on or conflicting. Maybe,

I don't know the reason, but you can add the Table of Contents, List
of Figures, List of Figures, and BibTeX bibliography to the Table of
contents using
\usepackage{tocbibind}
in the preamble. Or if you just want to add one or the other then you can add
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures}

So I did that, and it worked. But now my page numbers are off... For the
first sections(acknowlegments, list of tables, list of figures,
abbreviations, etc) I have roman numerals counting. Then the counter starts
at 1 once the text of Chapter one starts. Well now my roman numerals are
off by one page. It says the LOT starts at vi, but it really starts at vii
and so all the other ones are off by one... Is this due to the tocloft
package?

Here's an example as you've described number acknowledgments, lof, and

Yes, your sample is correct in how I would like it. But, my TOC is two
pages long, so the counter "skips" the second page of the TOC and labels it
as the first page of the LOT(the next section) So my TOC is on page v and
vi, and the LOT starts at vii, but is being listed as starting at vi. I
hope I explained it better..

That makes sense, but I can't reproduce it. I added chapters and
sections such that the TOC was two pages long and the numbering was
still correct. Something else must be going on or conflicting. Maybe,
you could send a minimal example.

Font changes

Re: Font changes
The behavior is weird, just check the attached examples (each one with a different font). I'm using the Document - Configuration - Text Design (i believe this is the english dialog, because I have the spanish one) dialog to change the font. For some of them, the change is just in size to the main title. In all of them, the title keeps the sans serif font. I just can see some change in the normal paragraph font using the Helvetica font. The only way I can change all the fonts is using a non standard package in the preamble, like the attached example using Pandora. Is it a bug of LyX??? Thanks for your help...

If you want to use Helvetica for the main text, you'll have to change the body
font family to sans serif first. In preamble:
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
The font dialog of LyX is indeed confusing (and LyX 1.5 will come with a

Already corrected with:

But the font used is too small, any tips?

Even easier is to use:
\addtokomafont{sectioning}{\rmfamily}
doing this only changes the font style, but keeps all other standard
formatting of the sections such as size and bold.

Font changes
Hi. If I change the font type of a document (I'm using Lyx 1.4.3-4, MikTex, Windows XP, article (koma script) class) the font won't change either on screen or in the PDF. What can be happening? -- - Julio Rojas [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Font changes
The behavior is weird, just check the attached examples (each one with a different font). I'm using the Document -> Configuration -> Text Design (i believe this is the english dialog, because I have the spanish one) dialog to change the font. For some of them, the change is just in size to the main title. In all of them, the title keeps the sans serif font. I just can see some change in the normal paragraph font using the Helvetica font. The only way I can change all the fonts is using a non standard package in the preamble, like the attached example using Pandora. Is it a bug of LyX??? Thanks for your help...

If you want to use Helvetica for the main text, you'll have to change the body
font family to sans serif first. In preamble:
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
The font dialog of LyX is indeed confusing (and LyX 1.5 will come with a
completely rewritten font interface which addresses those problems).

Re: Font changes
That's a really useful preamble! I have another question: what if you just
want to change the titles and headings to sans serif?

Thanks Jürgen but what I would like is that all titles use the Roman

\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\rmdefault}
The same problem is presented, the titles keep the Sans Serif font.

use
\setkomafont{title}{\rmdefault}
to set the title font in Koma-script. If you want more information read pages
50-52 (3.2.1 Changing Fonts) in the scrguien.pdf that came with your
koma-script package.

oops a bit too quick there, the correct command is:
\setkomafont{title}{\rmfamily)
or \normalfont, \rmfamily, \sffamily, \ttfamily, \mdseries,\bfseries,
