Re: degree symbol in lyx on ubuntu with the Compose key
Hi Ignacio You are right -- thanks! (The sequence Compose o o worked for me; the other one didn't -- I don't have an AltGr key). But any thoughts on why this compose sequence is different from that required in GNOME programs like gnome-terminal and gedit, etc? If I have to learn different compose sequences for different programs, that's really fairly poor, right?

How to embed all fonts?
Hi all, I just played my new Ebook in Kpdf. After pressing File->Properties->Fonts_tab, I saw that most of the fonts were type 1C and those were embedded. However, two type 1 fonts, Courier and Times-Roman, were not embedded and referred to /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/n021003l.pfb. I doubt my Windows customers will have /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/n021003l.pfb :-). So my question is, how do I get those two files to embed also? I'm using LyX 1.4.2 on Mandriva 2007, and I create the PDF by exporting to LaTeX, running makeindex then running latex on the resulting .tex file, running dvips on the resulting .dvi, and ps2pdf on the resulting .ps. I need to ship several of these books today -- I have some orders that are 2 days old and need to go out. This means, unless I'm absolutely sure that upgrading LyX or changing to pdflatex will really work, and is the only way, I'd prefer not to experiment with pdflatex, or especially my LyX version, at this time. Does anyone know a simple way to get all fonts embed? Thanks SteveT Steve Litt Author: Universal Troubleshooting Process books and courseware http://www.troubleshooters.com/

Why don't the default key bindings on mac osx follow the standard mac

Not that it is that important, but it would be much nicer ... Thanks - SB
One answer to that is that this really isn't italics, it's "emphasis".
If you emphasize a word in a line that is normally set in italics, such
as the statement of a theorem in mathematics, then the emphasized word
comes out upright. LyX (and TeX) hang on to the idea of emphasizing the
word, so you can take the paragraph containing it, change the
environment that text is in, and get correct behavior. If, on the other
hand, you set it as forced-italicized and changed the whole paragraph to
an italicized mode, it would stay italicized. This is the difference
between the two ERT commands {\it{}} and \emph{}. As I recall, Lyx
used to support both environments, but a decision was made to only use
\emph{}.
Of course, it may be that Mac's do this with -i for other programs.

It works for me. I think it depends upon your version of nameref. There's a remark in the latest version of nameref.dtx that seems to reference this problem. I don't know why, but my distribution (tetex, on FC6) only has version 6.74m, 2003/11/30, of the hyperref code, and this bug seems to be there. I gather tetex's not being supported any more, so that's probably why. Wonder what Fedora's planning to do?

Thanks Hi, you can change the key bindings to your liking: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/KeyboardShortcuts However, I think it is important for lyx to use, as far as possible, the same key bindings on the different platforms it runs. This helps people using lyx on many platforms, and make it easier to teach and help people to use LyX. When it comes to opt-e, it is not italicising the text, it is emphasising the text. It might not seem as a big difference most of the time, but try to set your normal font to an italicised font, and the difference will become apparent. :) Ingar
