Using truetype fonts

[Ekkehart Schlicht]

Hi!

Is it possible to set a truetype font that will be used for a
'paragraph class' or whatever it's called, for example Standard,
Chapter* or Title?

Strange preview of eps in LyX

[Gunnar]

Hello.
I've inserted the following eps file in LyX 1.3.6 (gentoo linux) 

%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-2.0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 200 140
/mm {2.834646  mul} def
10 10 translate
0 10 120 {
dup 0 exch  moveto 180 exch lineto
} for
0 10 180 {
dup 0 moveto 120 lineto
} for
stroke
showpage

The lines shows up nicely in LyX, but it is placed on a huge white background. 
Very anoying.

Any ideas on how to get it to only display the actual picture? Trying to use 
clip to boundingbox doesn't change anything either.

Try with adding a HighResBoundingBox as well, that seem to make it.
So your header should be

htlatex works pretty well on Windows, but I have not tried it on Linux.

I have another idea if your Lyx produced pdf document looks good.
Borrow Adobe Writer ($$$) and enable commenting on your pdf file.
This feature of Writer is intended for collaboration and it comes with
all the bells and whistles, underline, strikeout, arrows, yellow sticky
notes that you can write into at the correct place in the doc, etc. and
the Prof./you just need Reader7 to make use of this once it is enabled.
Your university library or Computer Center may have Writer Pro
software, the campus computer Helpdesk might know where. Then
you could make suggested changes in LyX and produce another pdf,
which would need to be comment enabled again, which is inconvenient
unless you have decent access to the Adobe Writer Pro7 (6?) software.
Enabling commenting is a one-step procedure, once the doc is loaded.
The conversion from LyX to pdf is nearly perfect, unlike other methods.

Using customized layouts in LyX 1.4.0 windows version

You include the file stdtheorem.inc in articletheorem.layout. This file is 
not part of LyX, so you must have got it from somewhere else. Copy it 
into the layout file folder, and everything should be fine.

Styling quotes and quotations

[Peter Bowyer]

Hi,

I'm new to LyX, and am using 1.37 on Windows.

I'd like to know if it's possible to style the Quote and Quotation 
styles further?  In other words, to get a different font and 
automated quotation marks around the blocks?  Currently my Quotes 
look like indented blocks of my text.


Also, what's the difference between the Quote and Quotation styles - 
quotation is for larger blocks?

AGU class...

[Mathieu Richaud]

Hello all,

I am trying to install an AGU (American Geophysical Union) latex class 
file but I am running in some problems... I use Lyx 1.4.0 version on 
Mandriva 2006.


I created an aguclass directory in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex and 
downloaded the aguplus.cls file from AGU's website. I then typed in the 
following commands;


[EMAIL PROTECTED] aguclass]# texhash
texhash: Updating /usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /usr/share/texmf/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /usr/share/texmf-var/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R...
texhash: Done.

I reconfigured Lyx, but when I wanted to see the output I got the 
following error message;


\stop}{}
  
Valid AGUTeX package names are:

agums, agupp, jgrga, grlga, radga, rtjga, tecga, paleo

It seems like I also need to install another file called agums.sty found 
on AGU's website. I would gladly do so if I knew how and where. I am a 
bit puzzled because I only had to install a .cls file for Elsevier 
articles.


Thanks a lot,

Mathieu

Re: Styling quotes and quotations

[Bruce Pourciau]

Peter,

Typographers tell us that block quotations should not be placed in 
quotation marks. Nor should they be put in a different typeface. 
Generally a block quotation is indented and the font size may be the 
same or smaller than the body text. See, for example, Robert 
Bringhurst's The Elements of Typographic Style.

footnotes in one paragraph plus split

In footnotes I solved part of my needs with footmisc

in one page be in one paragraph. This is nice for work
with lot of short footnotes but I have long and short
ones. Options [para] in footmisc prevent that
paragraph be split to the next page, then Latex can´t
fit this unbreak paragraph and put ugly space in this

Your university library or Computer Center may have Writer Pro
software, the campus computer Helpdesk might know where. Then
you could make suggested changes in LyX and produce another pdf,
which would need to be comment enabled again, which is inconvenient
unless you have decent access to the Adobe Writer Pro7 (6?) software.
Enabling commenting is a one-step procedure, once the doc is loaded.
The conversion from LyX to pdf is nearly perfect, unlike other methods.

Using customized layouts in LyX 1.4.0 windows version

[Sreekumar Bhaskaran {msbad084}]

Hi,
I installed the windows version of the LyX 1.4.0 from 
http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Windows/LyX140pre/lyx-1.4.0pre_win32_setup_v

and am running into some trouble. I had a few layouts which I had
customized for myself. Now Lyx is no longer recognizing those. The error
message is:

using the default document class, because articletheorem could not be
loaded.

The new layout I made is article theorem and this was a variation of the
article layout in LYx 1.3.x. I am attaching my new layout here. Any
help, tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

You include the file stdtheorem.inc in articletheorem.layout. This file is 
not part of LyX, so you must have got it from somewhere else. Copy it 
into the layout file folder, and everything should be fine.

Styling quotes and quotations

[Peter Bowyer]

Hi,

I'm new to LyX, and am using 1.37 on Windows.

I'd like to know if it's possible to style the Quote and Quotation

automated quotation marks around the blocks?  Currently my Quotes 
look like indented blocks of my text.


Also, what's the difference between the Quote and Quotation styles -

footnotes in one paragraph plus split

Strange preview of eps in LyX

[Gunnar]

Hello.
I've inserted the following eps file in LyX 1.3.6 (gentoo linux) 

%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-2.0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 200 140
/mm {2.834646  mul} def

0 10 180 {

showpage

The lines shows up nicely in LyX, but it is placed on a huge white background. 
Very anoying.

Any ideas on how to get it to only display the actual picture? Trying to use 
"clip to boundingbox" doesn't change anything either.

Try with adding a HighResBoundingBox as well, that seem to make it.
So your header should be

That should not be needed, the file is perfectly valid with only a normal

Aspell New Dictionary test and Windows LyX

[Stephen Harris]

The reason I am sending this to the User list is that

The new Aspell dictionaries and data installer which
works great if you follow the default is just about ready.

SH: Original message to developer list:

Everything seems to work. I started with a clean C:\aspell

The *.cmap/cset etc. were installed to C:\Aspell\lib\aspell-0.60
as I think they are supposed to be. But the default on the installer
reads C:\Aspell. Should this default read C:\Aspell\lib\aspell-0.60
like the default for the dictionary install? It doesn't work to change
the default data install to C:\Aspell\lib\aspell-0.60 because an extra
\lib gets inserted, so a user needs to keep the default of C:\Aspell.

the bottom line is use the default, whatever it is,

htlatex works pretty well on Windows, but I have not tried it on Linux.

I have another idea if your Lyx produced pdf document looks good.
Borrow Adobe Writer ($$$) and enable commenting on your pdf file.
This feature of Writer is intended for collaboration and it comes with
all the bells and whistles, underline, strikeout, arrows, yellow sticky
notes that you can write into at the correct place in the doc, etc. and
the Prof./you just need Reader7 to make use of this once it is enabled.
Your university library or Computer Center may have Writer Pro

In footnotes I solved part of my needs with footmisc
package. With [para] options I get that all footnotes
in one page be in one paragraph. This is nice for work
with lot of short footnotes but I have long and short
ones. Options [para] in footmisc prevent that
paragraph be split to the next page, then Latex can´t
fit this unbreak paragraph and put ugly space in this
page.
How I can get all footnotes in one paragraph plus
pargraph split?

Re: LyX Mac 1.4.0 Performance Issue

[Yaron Y. Goland]

This applies to top level text. The key seems to be how big the  
document is. I have an 8 page document with 12 equations and trying  
to type anywhere in that document (even if there are no equations  
visible on the screen) will peg my CPU and move so slowly I can type  
faster than it can handle.

Is that when typing on toplevel text or inside insets?
