Math symbol not displayed in LyX-1.3.6 even after installing latex-xft-fonts

[R S Ananda Murthy]

Hello,

Math symbols are not being displayed in LyX-1.3.6 even after installing 
latex-xft-fonts.

The fonts are installed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF. After installing 
this, I did

cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
cp fonts.dir fonts.dir.bak
cp fonts.scale fonts.scale.bak
mkfontscale
mkfontdir
fc-cache
xset fp rehash

But even after doing this, math symbols are not displayed in LyX-1.3.6. Any 
suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

I did this. Now it is compiling properly. Thank you.

How do you enforce compiling without STL?

Public release of LyX version 1.3.6

We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.3.6.



Unix and MacOSX users should consider this to be a bugfix release.



To Windows users, however, LyX 1.3.6 is the first version of LyX
to support the platform officially. This means that we've put a huge
effort into squashing those bugs that were present in Ruurd Reitsma's
unofficial ports to Windows. Large chunks of the code base have been
touched in an attempt to resolve these problems so whilst we're
confident that LyX/Win 1.3.6 will be the best ever version of LyX on
Windows, we cannot say that it's bug free.


Well, it's been a long, hard slog, but we finally made it. Many thanks to 
Jean-Marc for coordinating this release and to our small army of volunteers 
for finding so many bugs in the Windows version. Your efforts are there for 
all to see at http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX136pre. Well done to you all.


Windows users: I've put together a page at 
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX136 that I hope will make it easy to install 
and start using the new LyX.


Have fun, write well and spread the news about LyX!

JMarc,

  Thank you. Patrick seems to not be a fan of STL. I had fits trying to
compile a GIS application that requires it. Finally just gave up.

That's fine. Everyone has to start from somewhere.


It says that the Docbook SGML article is unavailable.

LyX uses a unix shell script "configure" to probe your system. Find it in 
the LyX support directory. In LyX 1.3.6 that's ${LYXDIR}\Resources\lyx\, 
where the lyx.exe binary is in ${LYXDIR}\bin\. I've no idea how the 
equivalent hierarchy is called in Ruurd's ports of earlier LyX flavours, 
but it should be findable.


This shell script is run as:
$ cd ${LYXDIR}/Resources/lyx
$ sh ./configure

Doing so generates
  lyxrc.defaults  packages.lst  textclass.lst

I guess that textclass.lst will contain entries like:
$ grep SGML textclass.lst
"docbook-book" "book" "DocBook book (SGML)" "false"
"docbook-chapter" "chapter" "DocBook chapter (SGML)" "false"
"docbook-section" "section" "DocBook section (SGML)" "false"
"docbook" "article" "DocBook article (SGML)" "false"
"linuxdoc" "article" "SGML (LinuxDoc article)" "false"
"manpage" "manpage" "SGML (LinuxDoc manpage)" "false"

So, I guess that one way to fool LyX into thinking everything is as it 
should be is to change some of these "false" to "true" using your favourite 
text editor.


Longer-term, these entries are generated by the configure script probing 
your machine. Note that, because it was written for unix machines, it has 
no notion of the Registry. Everything it looks for must be in your PATH 
environment variable.


Aside: LyX 1.3.6 --- just released. See http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX136 
--- has a path_prefix entry in lyxrc.defaults that will enable you to 
adjust your PATH for LyX. Here I have:

$ grep path_prefix /c/Program\ Files/LyX/Resources/lyx/lyxrc.defaults
\path_prefix 
"J:\MinSYS\bin;C:\Python24;C:\MiKTeX\Main\miktex\bin;C:\PROGRA~1\Perl\bin;c:\program 
files\Ghostscript 8.33\gs8.33\bin;C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.2.3-Q16"


Anyway, if you look in configure, you'll find an entry:
# Search for DocBook support
echo $ac_n "checking for SGML-tools 2.x (DocBook) or db2x scripts""... $ac_c"
echo "$ac_t""(sgmltools db2dvi)"
DOCBOOK=
for ac_prog in sgmltools db2dvi
do
  ...
done

Ie, it's looking for one of "sgmltools" or "db2dvi" before activating your 
DocBook stuff.


Hope this gets you started...

Change line 350 of QPrefs.C from

if (cb->text(i) == default_font_name) {

to
if (fromqstr(cb->text(i)) == default_font_name) {

Kluwer document class & address paragraph environment

[David Boutillier]

When I try to use the article (Kluwer) document class, and I try to fill in my
address using the address paragraph environment, and I try view my document, I
get the following error message:

 

Undefined control sequence.

 \institute

   {My Address}

The control sequence at the end of the top line

of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have

misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct

spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,

and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

 

Could someone suggest how I can fix this? 

 

Best,

djb
