language other than english
Hello.
I'm having problem trying to use russian language with LyX. It looks
like I need
/usepackage[koi8-r]{inputenc} before /usepackage{babel} but how to make
LyX
to put something other than /usepackage[latinX]{inputenc}? Is it any way
to customize
encoding name ? The same is for font encoding. Can LyX use anything
other than T1 ?
Or maybe there is a way to control where user preamble will be put ?
Or should I patch LyX ? (wouldn't want to reinvent bicycle)
Thanks in advance.
A. K.

Thanks. It works.

Sorry if this is wrong, but maybe this could be made user-defined (list
defined in config file or edit boxin Encoding )

unsupported languages
Hello I think LyX is great. But I'm missing few features (I'm using LyX 1.1.4fix3). I need to write in language not suppoted by standard babel (lithuanian). So I added nonstandard language to babel package on my computer. Unfortunately LyX has all languages and input encodings compiled in. Are any plans to add such feature ? I made a patch (attached below) to make possible to add languages and input encodings in configuraton file with commands /add_language language /add_input_encoding input_encoding but not sure if this doesn't violate spirit of LyX in some way ? Another feature I'm missing is support for multilanguge documents (something what would automatically change screen fonts and add /selectlanguage into tex file). Are there any plans for such feature ? Thanks for any answer Sorry for bad english. A.K. lyx_add_language.patch
Integral subscripts - how to ?
Hello, All. My knoweldge of latex is poor. So I'm sorry if this question looks stupid. When in LyX I put subscripts and superscripts after sign of summation , in final outpup I get then below and above that sign (for display equation, of course). But when I use subscript/superscript after integral sign - they are lowered/rised and put to the right of integral. How can I make them appear below/above the sign ? How can I make my own sign with behavior like summ sign ? Thanks in advance. A.K.

Actually, in LyX window for integral sign they appear to rhe right(like superscript/subscript) , not below/above both for display and inline equations. > are you sure, that you have chosen displaymath for both? > Yes, I am. Could You, please,look at example file I attached (lyx and ps , dvi looks the same as ps). I'm using Linux 2.2.9, LyX 1.1.4fix3, tetex - TeX (Web2C 7.3beta6)3.14159 kpathsea version 3.3beta6 Thanks for reply. A.K. newfile.lyx newfile.ps

But I still 1 question, How to make any symbol of my choice to behave in that way ? A.K.

I mean, how can I put limits above/below any arbitrary symbol ? Something like this: 12 my_operator i=0 A.K.

What version of ghostscript do you use (gs -v) ? I had similar problem with staroffice postscripts and gs5.x . I had to downgrade it to gs4.03 . Maybe it's fixed in 6.x . I didn't try yet. A.K.
Floats vertical placement
Hello I have problem trying make picture floats in my text look pretty. I put them mostly at dedicated pages (using [p]). It look ok if page is filled. But when, for example, I have 3 pictures to place on two pages they are put 2 on first and 1 on second. Last picture is centered vertically on page. When those two pages are viewed simultaneously it looks ugly. I looked for solution foe whole day and found nothing (probaly looking in wrong place). Is it any way to make floats not vertically centered ? I understand, my questionis is more about Latex than Lyx, so sorry. Thanks in advance. A.K.
Call for feature
Hello, All. I finally moved from lyx-1.1.4 to lyx-1.1.5fix1 and liked it very much. Especially I liked the possibility to create multilingual documents. But this feature is not full without possibility to change inputencoding as well. Is it possible to include such feature in upcoming version ? For 1.1.5 i can suggest the patch to add this feature and also to provide the possibility to add more encoding and languages than precompiled in LyX. A.K.

I probably would have found it if I'd continued digging, but it was 11pm and I was getting a bit stressed. The problem is with the 'report' class, and is a typo in report.cls under the latex/base directory. Who should I inform? I can't post to the list at the moment, so perhaps you could psas this on... Thanks again, Dave.
