Kenward,
XeTeX requires, like PdfTeX, figures in these formats: pdf,jpeg,png. Since you
are using LyX, this conversion from eps to pdf is done for you. I suppose the
conversion is not done well enough. I would suggest you convert them yourself to
keep the vector essence.

I'm sorry for my ignorance about this, but it has never been in the forefront of concern since I hadn't hit such an issue before. Thanks for the help, both to you and Paval!

Kenward Kenward, XeTeX requires, like PdfTeX, figures in these formats: pdf,jpeg,png. Since you are using LyX, this conversion from eps to pdf is done for you. I suppose the conversion is not done well enough. I would suggest you convert them yourself to keep the vector essence. Mukhtar Ah. OK. Knowing that, does anyone have a suggestion for the transformation? I thought pdf could be a "wrapper" about an eps figure... If so, which utility is a good one? LyX itself relies upon ImageMagick's convert utility, which is as simple as: convert file.eps file.png I'm not sure how you might automate this in LyX. There must be some way to force conversion to png instead of pdf. rh

Usually .eps figures get rasterized -- I think all the way back from 1.3.x or before. I thought that was just the way LyX worked. That's why I use .pdf figures in my LyX documents -- that usually turns out very well. If you guys can figure out a way so that LyX treats .eps as a vector, that will be wonderful.

(my debug messages still contain Converter.cpp(425): Calling epstopdf --outfile="0_trash_centered_m_195_profile.pdf" "0_trash_centered_m_195_profile.eps" ) there must be some catch in your configuration. have run reconfigure? what kind of distribution you are running? pavel

Getting XeTeX/LyX 2.0 to work with my docs...
Hi,
I've decided to give XeTeX a go as well as LyX 2.0, so have installed
both on my Linux system (Debian Sid).
First thing to do was to open a recent exam and change the settings to
use XeTeX as the means of output, as well as the default viewer to
XeTeX's pdf version.
When I try to view the document, though, errors I've never seen before
pop up. There are five, involving the Latex error of command \acute
having already been defined, as well as analogous ones for \ddot, \tilde
\grave, and \bar. Below them, the description says:
\begin{document}
Your command was ignored.
Type I command return to replace it with another command,
or return to continue without it.
I haven't a clue as to what the problem is. If I try to view the DVI, I
get the following error:
Unable to access jarfile htmltolatex.jar
Systemcall.cpp(237): Systemcall: 'java -jar htmltolatex.jar -input
c1a_e2_f10.html -output c1a_e2_f10.tex' finished with exit code 1
Removing the XeTeX parts from the document makes it all go away. :(
Does anyone have thoughts about this problem? One other area I perhaps
should include is the preamble. Is one of the packages incompatible
with XeTeX?
\usepackage{accents}
\usepackage{mdwlist}
\usepackage{layout}
\usepackage{multicol}
\def\myalph#1{\expandaft...@myalph\csname c...@#1\endcsname}
\d...@myalph#1{%
\ifcase#1\or a\or b\or c\or d\or e\or ab\or ac\or ad\or ae\or bc\or bd
\or be\or cd\or ce\or de\or abc\or abd\or abe\or acd\or ace\or ade\or
bcd\or bce\or bde\or cde\or abcd\or abce\or abde\or acde\or bcde\or

\el...@ctrerr\fi}
\renewcommand\labelenumii{(\myalph{enumii})}
Many thanks for any help with this!

It looks like removal of the accents package freed up XeTeX, I'm not

completes now, and I get a pdf file.
