Close netscape and other applications, use less fancy window manager (themes). Or if you have new enough video card, you could configure it to use truecolor. If you start X server from command line, do it with "startx -- -bpp 16". (or replace 16 with 24 or 32). If you're running graphical login, edit XF86Config (locate XF86Config|grep etc) and check the DefaultColorDepth option.

That is, if you write % Willthisshow And mark it with the TeX button, will you see it eg. in Postscript preview? If the only problem is that it won't show up as red, what kind of display are you using? Try command "xdpyinfo|grep depth", what it says? If the depth is 8 or less (ie. a paletted display) maybe you're running out of colors. Try closing other color intensive applications such as netscape. And of course, check anyway Preferences/Look&Feel/Colors/latex.
New column
Hi, When I append a new column to my existing table, LyX crashes. Anyone familiar with this situation? By the way, my question about the color change still holds. I'd greatly apprecaite if you could help. Regards

the "real" latex command is \boldmath ... \unboldmath,
which are nearly the same than \mathversion. both
must appear in textmode!

\mathversion; fonts in menu
1. I use \mathversion to make some of my
equations turn to "bold". I have just tried
it on few examples and it seems to work OK
(the greek small italic letters are bold too, ...)
Does anyone know if there might be any problems using
that command ? (I didn't find any information here,
or in LyX Tips page ...)
example:
(in red TeX)\mathversion{bold}
... my LyX blue box equation ...
(in red TeX)\mathversion{normal}
2. I am using LyX for few weeks now,
and among others thing I am "playing" with fonts.
Is there a simple way to add new fonts into the
LyX Document Layout menu ?
For example, my TeTeX distribution comes with
the beton package (a kind of Computer Modern
modified fond). I just put
\usepackage{beton}
in the lyx preamble and it works great.
For the math font i just use Euler
\usepackage{euler}
Is there a way to have this fonts in the menu
with the others (default, times, palatino, ...)
Thanks.

customizing Environments
hi! Very new user posting first question! How can I change a Environment? For example: - I want to change the font type used in Standard Environment - After pressing RETURN at the end of a Standard, I do not want the Santard below to be idented - I do not want the font of the Paragraph to be bold - After pressing RETURN at the end of a Paragraph, I want the next to be a Paragraph, not a Standard Is it possible? How? Thanks! -- Rodrigo Canellas www.EverSystems.com.br --

Probably a missing translation of these attributes. The best thing to do if you want this fixed in the next version is to hunt the DocBook commands to do what is needed and to post them for whatever feature we are missing from DocBook. We (the developers) can probably do that too, but for most of the time we are using LaTeX and not DocBook and so we rely on our users to help us detect and fix such problems. > Secondly, and more importantly, is graphics inclusion.

Hi all, Does Lyx have a WordCount function? If not, this appears to work: grep -v "^[\]" z.lyx | grep -v "^#LyX 1.1" | grep -v "^$" | wc -w In the preceding z.lyx is the file whose words you're counting. Basically, you blow off anything starting with a backslash (putting a backslash in your content results in a \backslash line, not in your content line starting with a backslash). The next grep blows off the first line, and the third grep blows off blank lines. You pipe the result into wc, counting only words. Do any of you have better ways of counting words?

LyX+DocBook confusion
Hi, I'm just trying to do some documentation in LyX using the DocBook layout style and I'm finding a few things which are making life difficult. Firstly, is there a way to make text appear in a different font, eg emphasised or typewriter styles in LyX just end up as normal text in ps/pdf or docbook-html output. Secondly, and more importantly, is graphics inclusion. It's proving to be a major pita. How do you get references to figure numbers in the text? Using the usual label+crossreference doesn't work in any output form. The figure floats get given numbers as expected though. How do you get figures included properly? Using eps figures that display fine in LyX are not included when viewing in ps/pdf. The outputted sgml contains references to the file but without extension and with no reference to the file type. eg including file1.eps generates something like: using something like db2html on this then converts this reference to file1.gif, which doesn't exist and so the figures don't get included. Besides, who wants gif when you've got png? Including a bitmap image instead eg file1.png generates this: What?! db2html then trys to include the eps direct into the html img src, and not many browsers I know can handle eps figures ;0). And I didn't want an eps file included, I wanted the perfectly fine .png file. Also, the DTD is for version 3.01 of DocBook which is now deprecated afaik. Are these things fixed in the cvs version (which is offline from here at least)?

Anyway this will not be possible anymore. The tabulars now scroll to the left if the text is too large to fit on the screen so you can edit it all the time (I admit there may be bugs in this code in 1.1.6fix3, but this should work correctly in 1.2.0 when it comes out!).
