Hello Uwe, thanks for your reply. Uwe Stöhr [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Under Win2000/XP you can only print your doc as a .ps-file. Thats the same as if you export it into .ps. So printing does not work with me because I do not have a PostScript printer? The Math Panel does not work. The additional fonts Ruurd supplies on his homepage are installed correctly. I may input formulae inline. But I can't input any operator by using the Math Panel. Instead, characters are displayed that do not make any sense at all. For instance, instead of the \times symbol I get the currency symbol for British Pounds. Is there a way to make the Math Panel work on Windows 98? It works correctly on my machine. Try to reinstall the math fonts in your fonts directory and restart your computer again. I reinstalled the Math Fonts, but without success. Unfortunately, it still does not work, it's still the same as described above. Could it be that the problem is in the codepage setup in booting Windows? Ruurds port doesn't support internationalization at the moment. So you aren't able to switch the menues into german, but you can download the manuals from http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/lyxdoc/ Thanks for giving me the link. Regards, Juergen.
Re: LyX on Windows
Uwe Stöhr [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: So printing does not work with me because I do not have a PostScript printer? No, it's because you can't reconfigure LyX on Win98 (Menu: Edit - Reconfigure). So LyX doesn't find the printer. Oh, I see. I reinstalled the Math Fonts, but without success. Unfortunately, it still does not work, it's still the same as described above. Could it be that the problem is in the codepage setup in booting Windows? To test your installation, open WordPad and choose the font 'cmex10' from the font menu. Now press 'Shift-x'. The summation operator should appear. cmex10 does not appear in the font menu of WordPad, nor in any other application. It seems that Windows does not find these fonts, although they are installed in c:\windows\fonts. On the other hand I may open, view, and print the fonts by double-clicking them in Windows Explorer. If it appears, open LyX and then a formula in it (Alt-m). Now write in this formula '\sum' and press 'Space'. What does appear? A capital P appears in LyX. I think the Math Panel really does not work on Windows 9x. Thanks again, Uwe. Your help is very much appreciated. Juergen.

LyX on Windows
Hello, I am using Ruurd Reitsma's native port of LyX 1.3.3 on Windows 98 SE. So, first I would like to thank Ruurd for supplying the port. It works just fine for inputting continuous text. However, I still have some problems with this version of LyX, so I would like to ask whether there are any known solutions for this: - LyX won't print. So I use gsview32 or Acrobat Reader as a workaround. I wonder whether there is a way to make LyX print on Windows? - The Math Panel does not work. The additional fonts Ruurd supplies on his homepage are installed correctly. I may input formulae inline. But I can't input any operator by using the Math Panel. Instead, characters are displayed that do not make any sense at all. For instance, instead of the \times symbol I get the currency symbol for British Pounds. Is there a way to make the Math Panel work on Windows 98? - The program is supplied in English only, that is menus and online help are in English. I gather that the Linux version of LyX that is part of the Linux distributions sold in Germany comes in German. May I download online help in German from somewhere? May I switch the menus from English to German? Many thanks in advance! Regards, Juergen.

When I select a (Hungarian) text, say one word, and put it to another place (say back to the same place!) with copy/paste or cut/paste the pasted text is underlined as if it were not Hungarian (probably English).

Is this a bug in the editor, or I can configure LyX to make copy/paste without changing the language of the selection back to English? Does anybody have similar experience? Yes, me.

A Newsgroup For LyX
Hello *, I just would like to ask everyone on the list whether you would be interested in setting up a newsgroup for LyX instead of or besides the lyx-users mailing list. The idea has come up in de.comp.text.tex yesterday. Would you prefer to keep the mailing list alive or would you also like to join a newsgroup? As far as I can see in the latter case postings would be collected in the Google groups archive, too, making it somehow easier to search for information about LyX. TIA. Juergen.
Re: A Newsgroup For LyX
Hi *, First of all: Thanks for all participating in this petty poll. As for Oliver's problem regarding viewing threads in email clients I recommend Netscape 4 which is, of course, available for Macintosh and Linux, too. It should also run on OS X / Darwin. One more participant, Vitaly Lipatov (I am sorry that I did not provide a return address this morning, so your reply twice did not reach the list), put the following to me: I prefer mailing list as long as newsgroup needs on-line... No problem, you can download newsgroup traffic and store it locally on your workstation the same way you are reading your mail. In Netscape, for instance, newsgroups are displayed in the same environment as your email folders. Where is super automatic convertor from newsgroup to mailing list and back? OpenOffice.org seems to have some problems synchronising it's mailing lists with the newsgroups on new server news.openoffice.org. So we should. Could someone check whether this is really as tricky as it seems? I would prefer a newsgroup. What's more, I think it would give LyX some more publicity. Discussing originally on de.comp.text.tex we should, however, remain in the English speaking hierarchy of the usenet as most traffic on the list has come from non-German speaking contries so far. Juergen.

How to open LyXTips.tgz
Hi, none of my archivers is able to open LyXTips.tgz from Herbert Voss homepage. Neither Power Archiver, nor Karchiveur, nor Ark, nor gunzip, or unzip will do. None of them are able to process *.tgz files. Renaming the file to LyXTips.tar.gz does not change a thing. So could you please explain how to decompress LyXTips.tgz? TIA! Regards, Juergen.

Getting Rid Of Underlined Words
Hi all, running SuSE Linux 7.2, LyX 1.1.6fix1. After some editing actions, copy and paste in particular, text turns underlined in deep blue. It does not go away. Is this a known bug? What can I do to get rid of it again? TIA. Regards, Juergen.
Re: Getting Rid Of Underlined Words
Michael, thanks for explaining how to make the blue word-by-word underlining disappear again. It has worked. Indeed LyX marked the copy-and-pasted text as English although it was pasted from one German-language doc to another. Well, all works well again, and whats more, Ive learned another workaround in LyX. Regards, Juergen.

Under Language select reset and apply. Be sure that alle other options (family, series, shape, etc) are set to no change. The blue underline should be gone. I don't know why LyX behaves this way, since this happens even when I copy and paste between german documents. IIRC this only happend to me under the current SuSE 7.3 with my own compiled 1.1.6fix3.

Indeed LyX marked the copy-and-pasted text as English although it was pasted from one German-language doc to another. Well, all works well again, and whats more, Ive learned another workaround in LyX. Regards, Juergen.

I don't know why LyX behaves this way, since this happens even when I copy and paste between german documents. IIRC this only happend to me under the current SuSE 7.3 with my own compiled 1.1.6fix3.
Getting Rid Of Underlined Words
Hi all, running SuSE Linux 7.2, LyX 1.1.6fix1. After some editing actions, copy and paste in particular, text turns underlined in deep blue. It does not go away. Is this a known bug? What can I do to get rid of it again? TIA. Regards, Juergen.
