1.3.0 Maths Panel missing some button labels
I have LyX v1.3.0 (xforms) compiled from source on Linux Mandrake 8.2. No problems except this one: when Maths Panel is opened, I don't see all the labels on the buttons, but when the button is clicked I get a new popup window with all the buttons property labeled (in that window). My buttons look like +/- DotsMisc Greek !( )+/- Misc<-- blue colored So, the labels for the following popups are missing: - Binary Relations - Arrows - Big Operators - AMS Arrows - AMS Relations Maybe I need some additional fonts installed?

libforms1
I just tried to install lyx 1.2.3 on Woody 3.0_r1 and it stopped to configure lyx because libforms1 are missing. I am afraid of going on because the system refused to let me install libforms1. Do I need them? What is libforms1? Thanks, Johannes Breu
spellchecking in LyX-1.3.0 (qt-GUI)
Hello, I've just switched from 1.2.3 (compiled against libforms1) to 1.3.0 (qt-frontend). Besides some differences still to be explored by me I did encounter some difficulties in getting started: When starting spellchecking I receive this message: The spellchecker has failed I am sorry, I can't find suitable word lists for the language-tag: "deutsch" How to adjust LyX to find these word lists? I haven't any clue where these files reside!? Anybody to shed some light on this? I've installed Aspell 0.33.7.1-8, LyX-qt-1.3.0 on Debian-Woody (rc1) Thomas

I just found out a cool way of getting the template from powerpoint into a pdfscreen presentation in LyX.. the development version of the free OpenOffice software now has the option of exporting to pdf.. so I just exported the template from ppt to pdf and then overlayed it on all my slides in pdfscreen! nirmal

Thomas Schönhoff wrote: > deutsch.multi > german.multi > swiss.multi I think these are dictionaries for the new gnu-aspell (0.5.x) which are not compatible with your version (old pspell/aspell). Did you change something in your aspell setup? I'd recommend to switch to gnu-aspell (http://aspell.sourceforge.net/). But remove all old aspell installations before, else you'll get more conflicts. You'll have to compile LyX --with-pspell. Jürgen.

Preferences reset?
I know people on this list are fed up with my tribulations trying to get LyX to write in Latin5, but this may be of more general relevance. I'm using lyx 1.3 qt under Mandrake 9.0 and KDE. For some reason, LyX will ignore previous settings and stop writing Latin5 characters. Doing an etch-a-sketch on my system, e.g. switching from English to Turkish as default language, solves it for a while, but then it goes back to its Latin1-only state. Robin

Jean-Marc Lasgouttes wrote:
This has been on many people virtual todo list for a long
time... But it seems that nobody decided to actually do it :)
Note that it is difficult to make this work correctly (for
example, it is difficult to know which are the fonts that you
actually have and that TeX can use). Having a font usable on
display and having a font usable by TeX are two very
different things.
Related to this (although, slightly indirectly) is this
announcement (for a while still non-official, so you have never
read this mail :-)
There is a new macro OFS available on
ftp://math.feld.cvut.cz/pub/olsak/ofs/ (BTW, I am not the author,
I have just helped with the translation of manual to English; the
author is Mr. Petr Olsak http://math.feld.cvut.cz/olsak).
Let me cite from the part of the manual for its description:
The OFS is a \TeX{} macro for managing large sets of fonts.
You can select the appropriate fonts comfortably by the names
from font catalog used by a font foundry. It means you don't
have to remember short names of tfm files and/or short names
of NFSS font families. The user interface of this macro is the
same in \LaTeX{} and in plain but there are two independent
implementations of this macro: first and more elaborate: based
only on plain macros; second: based on NFSS macros for
\LaTeX{} users.
Do you think that this thing may help in creating more
human-friendly system for LyX managing fonts (so that for example
I would have three fields in Layout/Document setting \rmdefault,
\sfdefault, and \ttdefault with selection from full name fonts
(i.e., "Helvetica" instead of phv)?
What do you think about this?

Re: A newbie question - how can I make an index in lyx
Thanks a lot for the great help. It seems exactly what I want. But I couldn't do it ;-(
Actually, I have not adequate experience, yet, in perl or even linux so I need further
help. I have a file called newfile.lyx that contains (after exporting to Latex)
%% LyX 1.3 created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass[english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex
\makeatletter
%% User specified LaTeX commands.
\makeindex
\makeatother
\begin{document}
This\index{This} is\index{is} a test.\pagebreak
This\index{This} is another test.
\printindex{}
\end{document}
-
Now, I tried your command like this
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Desktop]$ perl -pi -e 's:is:\n\\begin_inset LatexCommand
\\index{is}\n\n\end_inset\n' newfile.lyx
Substitution replacement not terminated at -e line 1.
I also tried it like this ({is}\\index) but the same error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Desktop]$ perl -pi -e 's:is:\n\\begin_inset LatexCommand
{is}\\index\n\n\end_inset\n' newfile.lyx
This is the error message I've got. I am sorry if I seems stupid.

Export to HTML, No math. image!
When I export a document containing math. formula to html format inside lyx, the math. images (convert thru latex2html) of the exported html file didn't show up on the web browser. If export it to latex format, and latex2html it, then the math. images will be created and stored in a subdirectory. What's wrong with that?
