Lyx, Japanese and the Classic Thesis template
Hello, I am a complete beginner, but I would like to transfer my dissertation from Word to LyX (either manually or automatically). I have LyX 1.5.6 (the version that comes in the repositories) installed in my computer that runs Ubuntu 8.4. I have been trying to use lyx for the parts of my text in Japanese, but every time I export to DVI it says the fonts are missing, which is strange since I have installed all the Japanese related packages. Another thing is that I would like to use Times Ext Roman, a unicode ttf font with all the diacritics I need, but I am not sure I can use it with Lyx. Another thing still is that I would like to use the Classic Thesis template, but substitute the main font with Times Ext and have Hiragino otf for the Japanese. I am reading various posts, but the entire process is a bit confusing. Hope someone can help. All the best, Clemente
Re: Lyx, Japanese and the Classic Thesis template
Dear Clemente, I guess you are using CJK package for Japanese part. In that case, it's most likely that CJK package won't work just out of box. You need set up fonts manually. There is instruction for it in the following page (I'm assuming you can read Japanese): http://oku.edu.mie-u.ac.jp/~okumura/texwiki/?LaTeX-CJK If you are using pLaTeX, you are actually missing some required packages.
