no index list with winlyx

[Beyer, Marcus]

Dear LyX users,

I am using the winport of LyX1.1.6fix1 and have problems
with the index list: none appears in the target document.

Simple Example:
1. File - New
2. Insert - Lists  TOC - Index List
3. anyword
4. Insert - Index Entry of Preceeding Word
5. View - DVI (or something else)

I don't have that problem with the linux version of 
LyX1.1.6fix1 (I am using at home).

Is this a bug of the winport?
Or do I have a problem with miktex?

Lot of ThanX for any help!

 What happens if you type  a space after the ' ?

I fixed it. I had to switch off the "X11: ignore dead keys" button in 
the LyX preference menue and now it works with space.

output quality from .ps and .pdf poor

[Redvers Davies]

Hi,

I have checked through the various FAQ's and the archive but
as yet have been unable to find an answer to this question.

The problem that I have is that the output to pdf is "furry".
Text in a dvi is sharp and perfect.  The postscript is slightly furry
and the pdf is so furry its almost unreadable.

If anyone could give me some ideas as to where to start looking
I would appreciate it.

Re: Cleaning up (was multicols and tabbing)

[Christopher Jones]

Well... I guess I got it figured out afterall. I figured out the \parbox stuff,
and I figured out that if I produce the document in Legal/Landscape and then
put gv into portrait, I can see the document properly (except that it's
sideways). I got both pages to show up... I am not sure what exactly I did to
fix that. Anyway, here's the example file just for the heck of it. Maybe you
know why I have to put gv into portrait in order to see the whole thing.

Under any window manager, open a command window (terminal, rxvt, Konsole, 
etc.) and type "lyx ". (The "" is so the program will start and give you 
your command line back -- since it's a graphical program, it doesn't help 
much to leave your command line tied up until the program finishes!) In KDE, 
press Alt-F2 and type "lyx". If you like menus, Mandrake should install LyX 
under Applications-Publishing-LyX.

Have fun, and welcome to LyX/Linux,

Hello,

I had this same problem in SuSE, and I also thought that in the default font
layout the text was too small when printed on paper. So now I do Layout -
Document - Fonts: Times - Font Size: 12, and it looks very as both ps and
pdf now, on paper it's very good.

Cheers,

Under any window manager, open a command window (terminal, rxvt, Konsole, 
etc.) and type "lyx ". (The "" is so the program will start and give you 
your command line back -- since it's a graphical program, it doesn't help 
much to leave your command line tied up until the program finishes!) In KDE, 
press Alt-F2 and type "lyx". If you like menus, Mandrake should install LyX 
under Applications-Publishing-LyX.

Re: output quality from .ps and .pdf poor

[EagleIce]

Hello,

I had this same problem in SuSE, and I also thought that in the default font
layout the text was too small when printed on paper. So now I do Layout -
Document - Fonts: Times - Font Size: 12, and it looks very as both ps and
pdf now, on paper it's very good.

Cheers,

ei

no index list with winlyx

[Beyer, Marcus]

Dear LyX users,

I am using the winport of LyX1.1.6fix1 and have problems
with the index list: none appears in the target document.

Simple Example:
1. File -> New
2. Insert -> Lists & TOC -> Index List
3. anyword
4. Insert -> Index Entry of Preceeding Word
5. View -> DVI (or something else)

I don't have that problem with the linux version of 
LyX1.1.6fix1 (I am using at home).

Is this a bug of the winport?
Or do I have a problem with miktex?

Lot of ThanX for any help!

I fixed it. I had to switch off the "X11: ignore dead keys" button in

You can't (but you can redefine all the menu shortcuts in your binding file).

Re: Cleaning up (was multicols and tabbing)

[Christopher Jones]

Well... I guess I got it figured out afterall. I figured out the \parbox stuff,
and I figured out that if I produce the document in Legal/Landscape and then
put gv into portrait, I can see the document properly (except that it's
sideways). I got both pages to show up... I am not sure what exactly I did to
fix that. Anyway, here's the example file just for the heck of it. Maybe you
know why I have to put gv into portrait in order to see the whole thing.

Under any window manager, open a command window (terminal, rxvt, Konsole,
