LyX 1.1.6 - preferences
i have the german localisation and when i change any of the fontsizes i always get: # # SCREEN & FONTS SECTION # \screen_dpi 75 \screen_zoom 175 \screen_font_sizes 5,00 6,00 7,00 8,00 9,00 10,00 11,00 12,00 13,00 14,00 i put in the values 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 in the textfields and saved the preferences. lyx saved all in european decimal style. in fact of the wrong comma lyx takes the values 5 0 6 0 7 0 8 0 9 0 for the fontsizes. i had to replace the comma with a point to get the right values.

Algorithm-style release (0.3)
Hello, A new release of the Algorithm-style package for lyx is now available (0.3). It includes some new features, bug fixes, and the style file (.inc) is now splitted in two files, a latex package file (.sty) and a light style file (.inc). The previous version (0.2) is still available. You can find the package at: http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/Informatik/lyx/algorithm.html Bye, BG
pdflatex error on XFig inset in 1.1.6
Hi! Just playing around with lyx 1.1.6 I discovered an error using the external inset with a XFig-Graphic. Lyx converts it to eps so that pdflatex returns an error because of a wrong extension. Wouldn't it be better to include a graphic without extension and to convert the XFig also to png or pdf, because the graphicx-package knows what to insert?

This was the only way I found out to change the default-encoding for example. Just copy 'lyxrc-defaults' to your ~/.lyx directory and change the relevant settings there.

cdcover template missing?
I've heard it said on the list that there is a cdcover template included in the distribution. But I don't see it in my "templates" directory. So where do I go to get it?
reading text out of ps/pdf
This is a reach, I know. But in the hopes that there is something out there for me, I'll ask the question: is there anything which reads text out of a bitmaped pdf or ps file?
Re: reading text out of ps/pdf
yes there is a tool called ps2ascii, it extracts plain texts form *.ps files []s lima-lopes R.E. de Lima-Lopes [EMAIL PROTECTED] GNU/Linux Registered User # 182240 On Sat, 13 Jan 2001, Christopher Jones wrote: > Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2001 11:34:48 -0600 > From: Christopher Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: LyX <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: reading text out of ps/pdf > > This is a reach, I know.

Re: reading text out of ps/pdf
I have that tool. But some pdf or ps files consist not of coded text but a bitmapped image. For instance, pdf and ps files which I download from journal databases are scanned images of journal pages. ps2ascii and pdftotext will not extract text from these files, since there is no ascii content to extract. Anyway, that is the best explanation I have been able to figure, by examining the contents of pdf and ps files and seeing that the post-preamble stuff is sometimes text, sometimes not, and seeing that ps2ascii poops out on the latter, though not on the former. So my question is: is there any software out there which attempts to look at bitmaps and guess what the ascii would be-- something like those programs which read books through a scanner and try to match font characters to the image. And I say this question is a reach, because I know that those programs which I have heard about are either very expensive or very innacurate. Thanks very much for the response.

With pdftotext file.pdf file.txt convert all to text. when the pdf-file has some scanned-text, which are saved as images you can convert these from pbm to tiff and than running an OCR program.

keyboard bindings colliding?
hi all, i am using lyx 1.1.6 in the german localization. i just discovered that the combination "M-a d", which formerly gave me the "description" paragraph style now produces a DVI, just like "C-d" does. i tried to override it in the *.bind files, but it does not work. each time i type "M-a" the view menu (in german A|nzeigen) pops up. what can i do? thx in advance thorsten Thorsten Mika mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hamm / GermanyTM5173-RIPE
Re: keyboard bindings colliding?
> files, but it does not work. each time i type "M-a" the view menu (in german > A|nzeigen) pops up. what can i do? You could change in /usr/share/lyx/bind/ every M-a to M-p to get access to the paragraph styles via M-p. Andre' -- André Pönitz [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am afraid, that you have not much choice, than try any of these programs. Some of them are now much better, than they used to be. Try to find anybody with scanner - most of these programs should be able to scan documents from the external file. I am afraid, that there is nothing better to offer you. Matej
LyX 1.1.6 and DocBook
Hello, I've jumpped from lyx-1.1.5fix1 to lyx-1.1.6, and I have some remarks about the DocBook class: * The docbook-book.layout doesn't define the Part style, which should be available in a DocBook book. It is possible to define it, only by removing the line 172 from the file docbook-book.layout that contains: "NoStyle Part". * When a document contains a table, jade complains when I want to publish it. It says: /usr/bin/jade:0:104:42:E: document type does not allow element "TGROUP" here; assuming missing "INFORMALTABLE" start-tag /usr/bin/jade:0:126:9:E: end tag for "INFORMALTABLE" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified /usr/bin/jade:0:104:4: start tag was here With lyx-1.1.5fix1, I had no problem. When I export as SGML files, the differences between version 1.1.5 and 1.1.6 gives: < ... < < --- > ... > * There is a problem in 1.1.6 with the figures included, that are not displayed when the document is exported in DVI/PostScript/PDF (or viewed in DVI, etc.). The problem comes from the figure file path that is not complete. The difference in the SGML export files between 1.1.5 and 1.1.6 is: < --- > * The HTML export does not work, i.e. nothing is exported. When I manually do `sgmltools -b html mydoc.sgml` it works fine: its creates the mydoc directory and put the html files in it. I think it comes from a mess between the temporary directory files and the directory where the lyx document is, because when I want to exit from lyx a warning popup says something like "cannot remove the file: /tmp/lyx_tmp[ ... ]/mydoc is a directory". This warning only occurs when I try to export or view in HTML. Bye, BG

If you are compiling yourself, look in src/buffer.C in the function named pop_tag. Change the "#if 0" to "#if 1", save and recompile. Lgb

Many thanks for any > recommendation! The tabs are nested. That is the top row of tabs simply selects which set of tabs you see in the second row. It might look a bit like a two row Windows dialog but it isn't. The Look&Feel tab has the following nested tabs: _ |Look & Feel |___ | _ ___ ___ | | |Screen Fonts| |Interface| |Colors| |Misc | | | ||__|_|_|__|__|_|_ | | || | And you're right that none of them currently includes screen geometry settings.
