Re: How to use biblatex-dw with biber or biblatex or bilatex8 in LyX…

[jezZiFeR]

Dear Stefano,

I am sorry, I do not exactly understand what to do. I changed the name of my 
file to avoid spaces in it, and I also exported to LaTeX-format, as you wrote.

I could also open terminal, but I do not understand what to do then. What 
exactly should I do on the desktop folder? There is the file, but I do not know 
what to do with it, and I do not know how to compile manually.

I also do not know how to run biber. Do I not need to exchange my settings then 
first? This is when LyX crashes all the times…

Hope you could help, thank you so much!
Jess

The TeX and non-TeX fonts are very different beasts. And *both* types
of URWPalladio are available on your system. For some reason the
non-TeX version of URWPalladio doesn't work for you.

I think that best would be to rename it to 'URW Palladio (Palatino)',
similar to the 'URW Classico (Optima)' that was recently added in 2.1.

Well, one thing I could think of is that you have spaces in your filename.
Lyx can deal with them, but latex definitely does not like them. in my
experience.  So first of all I would rename the file Minimal-Example-neu.lyx

Then, just to be sure your problem is with lyx and not
biblatex/latex/biber, I would try the following:

1. From lyx, export the file to latex format (File>>Export>>latex(luaTex)

2. Open a terminal, move to the Desktop folder

3. Compile the file manually with lualatex Minimal-Example-neu.tex

4. run biber with biber minimal-Example.neu

5. Run lualatex again twice  as in step 3


If you get a pdf file, then your problem is with lyx or with the lyx/latex
communication process. If you don't, lyx is innocent.

Cheers,


S.

Re: Palatino linotype in Lyx

[UD]

  
  
Thanks, Liviu-- this was very helpful. However:

  It still leaves open the question of why I cannot compile a
document (with neither Xetex nor Luatex) with a font that is
available from the (non-TeX) Lyx's list of fonts.
  I guess that since the standard Palatino is really
URWPalladio, then that entry in the non-TeX list should be
removed and Palatino should be renamed as URWPalladio.
  

This foray into the world of font names, copyrights and shapes has
been fascinating and educational for me.

If, instead of choosing URWpalladio I select texgyrepagella, everything

So for some mysterious reason, Latex fails to find the urwpalladio, but

Re: How to use biblatex-dw with biber or biblatex or bilatex8 in LyX…

[jezZiFeR]

Dear list, dear Stefano,thanks again. Well, first I tried to check via the terminal wether I get the exact path back, which I did (even though I had to change from the german »Schreibtisch« to »Desktop« again – which was just one of the last tries I did before).After that I checked, wether biber is active in the preferences. In fact, biber was not, it was biblatex which was acive, so I tried to change that. Every time I did LyX crashed with an error – I add the screenshot. But even worse: for I wanted to have the screenshot in english language, I also tried to change the language of LyX, and again it crashed. I seems that I could not do any changes in the preferences without generating errors. I tried several things. Sometimes LyX did not crash, but it also did not save the changes.So it seems I have a problem with LyX – does anybody know what I could do in this case?ThanksJessAm 09.03.2013 um 15:52 schrieb stefano franchi:On Sat, Mar 9, 2013 at 4:22 AM, jezZiFeR  wrote:

your new file works fine here as soon as I change the path in \addbibresource to /home/stefano/Desktop/Diss3.bibYou could take a look at  the LaTeX and biber  logs and check  what they are telling you. Somehow biber is not finding your bib file, it seems to me. A capitalization error, perhaps? I think you are on a Mac. If you open the terminal and type

I'm not sure if this answers your question, but when you compile the
attached file (which selects "Palatino" in the TeX fonts), you will
obtain a PDF document (attached) that uses URWPalladio. Check it with
your favourite PDF viewer (acroread, Evince, etc.). This is the free

order to get URWPalladio in the PDF and/or use XeTeX.

Let me know if I'm still not clear enough,

PS "Palatino" in LyX Doc Settings is not Palatino Linotype but it is
URWPalladio. Maybe we need to rename that to something more suitable.

Liviu,
The issue was not whether anything worked with Palatino-- I said
earlier on that it did, but could not tell whether Palatino was the
same as Palatino Linotype.  The question was why URWPalladio, which
is said to be a free clone of the commercial Palatino Linotype, and
which appears in the list of non-Latex fonts, fails to compile with
Lyx, even though it appears to be install on my Lubuntu 12.10
system.  If you can show me how to compile it I shall be grateful.

Dear Stefano,As far as I can see it still does not work. So here I send a minimal example. I hope it is okay to send it privately, or should I send to the list?
Hi Jess,it is always better to reply to the whole list---more people will be able to help. Your file works here. Here is what I did:- I had to change the \addbibresource line to make it point to where I had downloaded your .bib file. 
-  I changed the bibliography to "default"  instead of natbib because I do not have the biblatrex module here on my laptop.- Finally, I commented out the line \bibliography in your preamble---you don't need that with biblatex.
My guess is still that your problem is (or hopefully was) with the \addbibresource line. Let me know if it compiles with the correct refes on your machine. I enclose below both the pdf and the lyx file. Notice that that pdf has a missing reference for LeWitt199:uk But that's how it should be because there is no such key in your Diss3.bib file.

Testing and entering the results in 
http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome is always useful (also trying to 
reproduce existing bug reports if this was not yet done). If you want to 
help with documentation, please ask on the documentation list 
(http://www.lyx.org/MailingLists#toc5) which parts need work.

Thanks, Richard,
did you mean something like
\setbibpreamble{Die Zahl(en) hinter der Referenz (und auch den Einträgen 
der Nomenklatur) beziehen sich auf die Seite(n). Mit einem geeigneten pdf-
Leseprogramm springt man nach einem Mausklick auf die Zahl an die Seite}
\protect\bigskip

but this did still not lead to a skip between the bibpreamble and the first 
citation

I also tried the koma book ONE column. No cure
