Yes, the plan is to support all fonts which you can get a T1 or
TTF font.

Not yet, but I'm sure I'll count with your help.  :)

Yes.

Use this type of setting for TEXINPUTS:

TEXINPUTS=.:/home/kayvan/src/tex/sty:!!/usr/share/texmf/{tex,pdftex}/{generic,}//

This should work for your needs.

using latex classes /cv

2000-06-04 Thread Tuukka Toivonen

I downloaded cv-1.3, which is the extension to lyx/latex containing
cls and layout files. The README says
"cv.cls...Put that in a place where LaTeX can find it."
Where, exactly, I should put it? I wouldn't like to use root's
permissions just for trying it out. I tried setting TEXINPUTS environment
variable, but then LaTeX found nothing (apparently it override
all default paths).
I'm using teTeX 1.0.6 installed in /usr/tetex.

This is a feature I too would like to see. I've actually did some work on
this, but I stopped as I learned that Alejandro Sierra 
(the author of the math editor) has been working on a totally new mathed,
so I will probably start working again after the new mathed is merged to the
current code (unless the new mathed already supports all AMS symbols :)

[Note to Alejandro: is the new mathed is feature complete (i.e. is it ready
to replace the old mathed?]

You can use arrays for composing two symbol vertically.
However, for arrows it is better to use the amsmath commands \xleftarrow and
\xrightarrow. Use can use these command in the math editor, but you don't 
get visual representation for these commands.
Again, the addition of better support for these (and other amsmath) commands 
should be done after the merge with the new mathed.
