Hindi typing in ubuntu 12.10
I have installed lyx 2.0.3 from ubuntu package manager, I hindi fonts installed in my system and I am able to read hindi in my system. Whenever I type something in hindi in lyx, font appears to be broken. When vew source, it shows correct font. When i try to preview/export pdf I get garbage. Is there any guide on how for Devnagri in Ubuntu as there is one for windows at http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Devanagari I have installed texlive-lang-indic package as well. Thank you! Hridayesh

The path may be fine, but is there anything at the end of it? In other
words, do those files exist?

Re: Lyx integration of lilypond, Windows 7
Am 03.01.2013 13:13, schrieb Julien Rioux: I have a weird problem... I have install last version of lilypond and lyx, and try to compile the lilypond exemple in the LyX exemple folder. One of the 2 current limitations of the LyX for Windows installer is the missing support for LilyPond. Implementing this is the current item on my ToDo list. Note also that the last time I tried to get LilyPond to work with LyX I encountered a bug in LilyPond that only affects paths on Windows. Maybe your problem is related. I'll try this as soon as I ind the time. regards Uwe

If I select View PDF (lua or Xetex) or DVI from the menu everything works just fine-- just the most useful pdflatex fails (naturally..;-). I have compared the file converters and paths to a previous (Lyx 2.04) installation that works perfectly, and I do not see a difference. Can anyone shed light on this mystery? There was a bug in the installer that the LaTeX distribution was not correctly or even not recognized on Windows 7 and 8 in the 64bit versions. If that is your OS, please reinstall LyX using the fixed installer: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lyxwininstaller/files/LyXWinInstaller/2.0.5.1/LyX-2051-Installer-2.exe/download (will be soon on ftp.lyx.org too) Can you please report back if the installer found the correct path to TeXLive? if not, what version of TeXLive are you using? Note that the installer can only support TeXLive 2012 and no older versions because of technical limitations in the old versions. If you have a older TeXLive, please try to update it before you reinstall LyX. If this is not possible, please reinstall LyX anyway and then go to the LyX preferences and adapt the paths so that the path list contains the folder of TeXLive where the latex.exe is located. If the problem persists anyway for you, can you please tell me your program versions (Windows, TeXLive) and provide a _minimal_ LyX file you are using. thanks and regards Uwe
Re: install hunspell in LyX
Am 07.01.2013 03:04, schrieb Eugenio Raliuga: I can't install hunspell in Lyx because the option for the path of the hunspell directory in the Lyx preferences menu is disabled. If you are on Windows, the easiest way is to reinstall LyX using the latest installer: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lyxwininstaller (will be on ftp.lyx.org soon too) In one if the installer pages you can select all dictionaries you need, also the thesaurus dictionaries. You can also install any time the dictionaries by 1. downloading the 2 files for each language from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lyxwininstaller/files/hunspell/ and http://sourceforge.net/projects/lyxwininstaller/files/thesaurus/ 2. copying the files to LyX's installation subfolder ~\LyX 2.0\Resources\dicts regards Uwe

Re: mathrm
It's some sort of font issue. I replicated the problem with your document here, then changed the Roman font from Palatino to Times Roman and got the expected output. I suspect the mathpazo package may not contain the needed glyph. Paul

Hi, still not done with Vancouver style I tried for quite some time but can't find the option for references, in which more than 2 authors are referenced as author1 et al Wolfgang
Re: Double quotes in LyX-Code
On 14.01.2013 09:35, Andrew Parsloe wrote: I notice when I press the double-quote key in a LyX-Code environment that LyX displays *slanted* double quotes, nor does there seem to be any shortcut specified to produce straight double quotes. I can understand this for the usual text environments (Standard, Quote etc.) but for LyX-Code this seems wrong. LyX-Code is used for things like program listings, where double quotes are usually understood to be ASCII 34s. Copying and pasting code fragments containing slanted double quotes from a LyX-Code environment into a program will generally produce errors because of this. I've tripped on this before and have now assigned the shortcut command-sequence self-insert " to Ctrl+Shift+' to produce ASCII 34. (On my keyboard Shift+' is the straight double quote symbol which LyX converts into slanted quotes.) I think a key combination to produce ASCII 34 should be part of "standard LyX", specifically for the LyX-Code environment. One workaround could be to use "listing" instead of LyXCode (Insert -> Program Listing), with the option: upquote=true (to be typed in the Listing "Settings" window, "Advanced" tab) Best regards, O.

Here is a copy, with hopefully instructions that apply to you: - Dear users of LyX on Windows, you might have noticed that updating the view for a PDF from within LyX fails with Adobe Reader XI. The reason is that Adobe Reader always opens PDFs with write access so that other programs cannot modify the PDFs. LyX therefore comes with a helper program that closes the PDF to allow its revision and then reopens the modified PDF. Unfortunately this helper program fails with Adobe Reader XI. I released therefore a new LyX for Windows installer that comes with a new solution that additionally fixes - the long standing bug that updating a PDF view failed for larger LyX documents if Adobe Reader or Acrobat was used as PDF viewer - a bug that viewing PDF files could fail if Acrobat or Adobe Reader was not the default PDF viewer of the system while LyX was installed, but became later the default PDF viewer So in case you are affected by the problem with Adobe Reader XI, you need to reinstall LyX 2.0.5 using the latest installer you find on http://www.lyx.org or on http://sourceforge.net/projects/lyxwininstaller/ to fix it. If you are not affected by this issue, there is no reason to reinstall LyX! regards Uwe - > Thanks so much for any help. > Caterina Sincerely, O.

Following your "S-C-2" example, I deleted the shortcut I'd made to get ", and instead modified cua.bind by commenting out \bind "S-C-quotedbl" "self-insert \"" and, for my keyboard where ' and " are on the same key, replacing it with \bind "S-C-'" "self-insert \"" Starting up LyX again, this gives me exactly what I want, ASCII 34, the straight double quote.
