With that done, I could compile the test document (I used a couple of different formats). It came out the way it was supposed to, but that may not be the way you intended. You specified a custom size of 17.78 cm height and 22.86 cm width. That defines a page that is wider than it is tall. You also picked landscape mode, which means the output should be 22.86 cm high and 17.78 cm wide (taller than wide), which the output was. If you're trying to get output that's wider than tall, then either specify a wide page size in portrait mode OR a narrow page size in landscape mode, but not both. The text did not run off the page for me, but it ran right up to the edge of the page, consistent with your specifying zero margins on all sides. Paul Wow! I just checked the document and it was 17.78 cm height and 22.86 cm wide. Not the other way round. But you reckon it was 22.86 cm hight and 17.78 wide which would be portrait? That's weird. Maybe others might quickly look at that document and inform me that they see what you see as well. That would mean my system LyX is really wrong and it may have to be purged and reinstalled? I did specify landscape, but I suppose you saw that when you looked in the Document->settings->Page format->orientation Well there you go. I wouldn't use adobe acrobat reader fortunately. But I might test it with that on a friends machine. Thanks for your input. Stay well, Charlie I was able to open the pdf file using evince 3.18.2, to me it was portrait orientation text wrapping at page boundaries. My version of lyx is too old to open the .lyx file, .. so opened it with a text editor and found. \paperorientation landscape \paperwidth 22.86cm \paperheight 17.78cm So Paul if I read your reply correctly you are suggesting in landscape mode the \paperwidth attribute defines how tall the page is and the \paperheight attribute indicates how wide the page is and the source of the problem?. So if I may ask 1) \paperwidth & \paperheight define the page as the printer sees it? 2) and landscape and portrait defines to latex how to print the text on that page? ... curious Steve

Last good version for Win XP
Hi, I'm new to the Lyx and this group. Also, it's been years since I used mailing lists :-) Anyway, I have a question. Since I'm still on Win XP I wonder which is the last good version of Lyx that supports this OS. I saw on lyx.org that v. 2.1 requires Win 7 and later. Would it work on Win XP? Cheers, Z.S

(Fonts belong to the LaTeX installation; they're not part of LyX.) If it is installed already, the next question is whether your LaTeX installation knows where it is. If you open a terminal/command line and run 'kpsewhich ebgaramond.sty', it should tell you where the font style file is installed. Lack of output would signal that either that the package is not installed or that LaTeX can't find it. Paul
