Find in the Figure dialogbox (click the figure) -- LyX View (translated from German version) -- Scale radio button [put the size in percent here] Yes but in lyx-1.1.6fix4 we can set the size of the figure relatively to the width of the page and/or relatively to the height of the page.

In LaTeX size just click LyX size... I've also a problem with the quality of the figure rendered inside lyx. The figure quality is very poor. Maybe it comes from the converter but, in lyx-1.1.6fix4, the quality of the figure was fine. How can I improve the quality of the figure ? it's depended on xforms and ImageMagick, which are installed in your system. There are many way to solve this problem (as discussed few weeks ago). 1. update your ImageMagick (the best way) 2. edit lyxrc in directory .lyx/ by adding -depth -8 e.g. \converter gif xpm convert -depth 8 GIF:$$i XPM:$$o 3. edit lyxrc in such directory by replacing XPM to PPM e.g. \converter gif ppm convert GIF:$$i PPM:$$o Thanks for these advices.

usepackage bookman for Euro
Hi Lyxers:
I'm trying to use the Euro symbol, the nice one.
So I put \usepackage{eurofont} and \usepackage{bookman} into the
preamble. But what to do with bookman.sty ?
Usage of \euro produces the attached error message.
Bookman font is available in Layout/document/fonts.
And many *tfm fonts are in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/bookman/ .
Thanx in advance
Peer

Navigate problem
Hello,
I've got a problem with the navigate menu.
I've got a very long document (270 pages) and, in some chapters,
I remove from the toc some sections because they are not informative.
I add just after the chapter title the following command:
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{1}}
So as to just have the sections in the toc.
The navigate menu doesn't like this. It doesn't show the sections
of the chapter and, we I select the chapter in the navigate menu,
lyx doesn't go to the chapter content.
I use lyx-1.1.6fix4.
Your sincerely,

lyx 1.2.0
I was going to try and download one fo the RCs today, but saw 1.2.0, and decided to give it a go. First, the good news: on a Debian Testing system, it compiled out of the box, and I was able to read documents which I had prepared with 11.6fix4. So that was very useful. Second, I was trying to use the Math Panel (it did crash from time to time in 1.1.6, but it was quite random, so I never submitted a bug for it). And to my surprise, the Math Panel is no more... Under EditMath, I have a number of (very useful, btw :D) options, but no sign of the Math Panel. It's nowhere to be found! I mainly use the keyboard for inputting eqns., but sometimes, I need a symbol which I cannot remember, and the Math Panel was very handy. Also, it is mentioned in the docs, and in the NEWS file as being highly revamped So, I know it's friday afternoon, but where can I find this panel?

Bibliography sorting
In the archives, i've seen quite a few questions concerning sorting of bibliography, but I havn't found an answer to this one: When sorting by author, references are sorted by the last name of the first auther, then last name of second author and so on. I would like to sort by last name of first auther, then year of publication. Is this possible? I'm using natbib and apalike style. But plainnat produces the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jan
Re: Bibliography sorting
Isn't this dependent on the software you use to manage the .bib files? The printing style has nothing to do with the ordering of the underlying .bib file. emacs sorts by keys. Maybe it will sort other ways, but I'm happy doing it this way (because I pick keys so the file is sorted to my liking). Check on bibtool, the tcl/tk (tkbib?) tool and any others I'm not aware of. Bibtool is the most powerful I've looked at. google has a page with tool links you might start from: http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Typesetting/TeX/BibTeX/ On Fri, 24 May 2002, Jan Warnking wrote: In the archives, i've seen quite a few questions concerning sorting of bibliography, but I havn't found an answer to this one: When sorting by author, references are sorted by the last name of the first auther, then last name of second author and so on.

usepackage bookman for Euro
Hi Lyxers:
I'm trying to use the Euro symbol, the nice one.
So I put \usepackage{eurofont} and \usepackage{bookman} into the
preamble. But what to do with bookman.sty ?
Usage of \euro produces the attached error message.
Bookman font is available in Layout/document/fonts.
And many *tfm fonts are in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/bookman/ .
Thanx in advance
Peer

A bug of e-tex.
A workaround is to put \sloppy in the preamble.

A feature of the default Hebrew fonts.
It is possible to have em/en-dash using other fonts
(e.g. the Monotype TTF fonts).

No idea.
Please send me the before/after Postscript files (and the lyx file).

Navigate problem
Hello,
I've got a problem with the navigate menu.
I've got a very long document (270 pages) and, in some chapters,
I remove from the toc some sections because they are not informative.
I add just after the chapter title the following command:
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{1}}
So as to just have the sections in the toc.
The navigate menu doesn't like this. It doesn't show the sections
of the chapter and, we I select the chapter in the navigate menu,
lyx doesn't go to the chapter content.
I use lyx-1.1.6fix4.
Your sincerely,
Yann COLLETTE

lyx 1.2.0
I was going to try and download one fo the RCs today, but saw 1.2.0, and decided to give it a go. First, the good news: on a Debian Testing system, it compiled out of the box, and I was able to read documents which I had prepared with 11.6fix4. So that was very useful. Second, I was trying to use the Math Panel (it did crash from time to time in 1.1.6, but it was quite random, so I never submitted a bug for it). And to my surprise, the Math Panel is no more... Under Edit>Math, I have a number of (very useful, btw :D) options, but no sign of the Math Panel. It's nowhere to be found! I mainly use the keyboard for inputting eqns., but sometimes, I need a symbol which I cannot remember, and the Math Panel was very handy. Also, it is mentioned in the docs, and in the NEWS file as being highly revamped So, I know it's friday afternoon, but where can I find this panel?

The crashing file
Sorry about the missing file. Attached is the file which crashed. The figures used are not attached, but I can send them if anyone requests them. I also tried to run a backtrace as explained in the Lyx introduction. I got the following: GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (5.1.90CVS-5) Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

You have not installed your euro font correctly. Try to reread
the documentation for it.

Bibliography sorting
In the archives, i've seen quite a few questions concerning sorting of bibliography, but I havn't found an answer to this one: When sorting by author, references are sorted by the last name of the first auther, then last name of second author and so on. I would like to sort by last name of first auther, then year of publication. Is this possible? I'm using natbib and apalike style. But plainnat produces the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jan
Re: Bibliography sorting
Isn't this dependent on the software you use to manage the .bib files? The printing style has nothing to do with the ordering of the underlying .bib file. emacs sorts by keys. Maybe it will sort other ways, but I'm happy doing it this way (because I pick keys so the file is sorted to my liking). Check on bibtool, the tcl/tk (tkbib?) tool and any others I'm not aware of. Bibtool is the most powerful I've looked at. google has a page with tool links you might start from: http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Typesetting/TeX/BibTeX/ On Fri, 24 May 2002, Jan Warnking wrote: > >In the archives, i've seen quite a few questions concerning sorting of >bibliography, but I havn't found an answer to this one: > >When sorting by author, references are sorted by the last name of the >first auther, then last name of second author and so on. >I would like to sort by last name of first auther, then year of >publication.
