gtk frontend
I have compiled lyx 1.4pre3 with the gtk frontend and I am really impressed by its looks. However, there are still a few dialogs in Xforms format. The website says that only a few speed issues will be solved before 1.4. Does this mean that the final 1.4 will still have a mixed gtk/xforms UI? Bye, Martijn -- __ I have a new e-mail adress.

\usepackage{lmfonts} is the best solution, imho. The Latin Modern (lm)
fonts are scalable type1 postscript implementation of the standard latex
EC fonts. The look exactly like the normal type3 bitmap latex fonts,
except that they scale nicely.

latex, pdflatex and lyx preview
Hi, To be able to use both latex and pdflatex, I removed the .eps filename extensions from the filenames in my lyx document. But now lyx cannot generate previews anymore because the filename specifications do not point to existing files. Is this a know issue? If yes, is it fixed in 1.4? It is possible to work around this problem using symlinks, but this is not very elegant. Bye, Martijn Brouwer For your interest: I stripped the extension of the filenames in my lyx document with these commands. For a single file you only nedd the second line. T for f in $(ls [123456]-*.lyx); do echo $f; sed -e "s/\(.filename.*\)\.eps/\1/g" /$f > $f.new done Rename the .new files in order to used them.
Re: lmodern, ae and missing fonts
Although my thesis looks nice now with only type 1 fonts, I have few more questions. Just for curiosity. As far as I know type1 fonts (such as lmodern) scale just by multiplying the width and height by the same factor. The CM and EC fonts are scaled more subtle depending on the size. I assume that the lmodern fonts look the same as EC modern at all font sizes. How doest that work? Second one. Do the lmfonts completely cover the EC fonts? From what I have read, the EC fonts cover many different fonts. Is this also true for the lmfonts? I have a colleague who is also writing his thesis. He uses T1 encoding and the ae package, which means that he has scalable computer modern fonts. However, when he switches off the ae package, he still has computer modern fonts, even though he uses T1 encoding. This surprises me, since I understood that when you use T1, latex uses the EC fonts. Is this some special trick of MikTeX? bye, Martijn Brouwer Martijn Brouwer wrote: Hi, I have finished my PhD thesis (Many thanks to all contributers to LyX).

I do not know much about Medline searches, but pybliographer can handle medline databases. Pybliographer is really great software, especially the graphical citation manager pybliographic (pybliographer also includes some nice commandline tools). I have a 150+ article database (bibtex format) for my PhD thesis and with pybliographic I can conveniently manage it, search articles and (nearly) everything you would like to do with citations. LyX does not support Medline, but you can load your search results into pybliographic, export as bibtex and LyX will by happy with your citations. Martijn Brouwer

Source of the problem is that xfig handles only a few line thicknesses. However, you still pointed me to the right direction. The best method is saving my graph (in grace) as a svg image.

LyX feature poll on Wiki pages
To give the developers an idea about the features that the users would like to be included in LyX, I started a feature poll on the LyX wiki pages. In this way I hope to help making LyX an even greater program than it already is. So see the poll go to http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/FeaturePoll. If you want to vote click on the 'edit page' link in the upper right corner of the page and follow the instructions. Martijn Brouwer
New feature poll?
I just read the lyx the latest LyX development news, and noted that there are great interface improvements in the pipeline: cutomisable toolbars (I am looking forward to insert floats from the toolbar!), more structured menus, and new icons. When will lyx-1.3.4 (or 1.4.0) arrive? Gui improvents are good, but I am also interested in new latex functionality being covered by the lyx gui. I am wondering whether it would be a good idea to have a poll about what lyx users would like to be added to lyx. I think the opinions of the developers on a poll are especially important since they are the people who have to implement functionality suggested by the users. So in short: what do we think about a new-features-poll? Martijn
Advice for PhD thesis
Hi, I am rewriting an art icle to a chapter of my PhD thesis and for the time being I am using the report class. I would like my chapters to start with a page containing the chapter title and an abstract summarising the contents of the chapter. I tried to do this in the 'report' class but I encounter a few problems: - The abstract is typeset on page of its own. - After an abstract the page counter is reset. I guess report is not the right class to to this. Can somebody point me a class where I can achieve the following: 1) A chapter starts with a page containing the title and abstract, with a sane pagenumbering 2) I would like to have an bibliography at the end of each chapter. (I will have a look at chapterbib) 3) I do not want to have the chapter titles start with 'Chapter X' 4) I would like to be able to use the \frontmatter and \mainmatter commando's I think the standard book and its equivalent from komascript are good candidates, but I still don't know how to achieve 1). Can somebody give me some advice on how to achieve want I want? Another class or just a clever latex package? I have seen a few PhD theses written in LaTeX with this layout, so it has to be possible.

Can't use scalable interface fonts anymore.
Until sometime ago, I used the bitstream charter font for displaying roman text in lyx, but a few days ago I saw lyx changed this to helvetica. Since this is a sans serif bitmap font I wanted to revert to charter, but that font was not listed anymore in the drop down list. It is still installed. Running reconfigure did not help.

screen display of tables with fixed width columns.
When I have a fixed with columns in a table, the number of lines required to display the content of a cell on the screen can deviate strongly from the number of lines in the .dvi output. When the zoom percentage in the edit -> preferences -> look & feel -> screen fonts, is relatively low, the number of lines required to display the cell contents can be much larger than on paper. This is caused by the fact that the cell internal margin is not scaled with the zoom factor. Not a really important bug, but under certain circumstances an annoying one. bye, Martijn -- Physics is a approximate description of a part of the physical phenomena, that are only a small portion of human perceptions.

LyX looks for wrong xforms version.
I installed xforms 1.0.0 and recompiled LyX. Part of the final ouput of ./configure was: Frontend: xforms libXpm version: 4.11 libforms version: 1.0.0 so it finds and uses xfoms 1.0.0. However, when I run LyX after compilation and installation it complaines: ./lyx: error while loading shared libraries: libforms.so.0.89: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Now it looks for version 0.89! Making a symlink, makes lyx start and work, allthough I am still experiencing the nasty bug that the open dialog (and a few others too) cancel when I scroll too far down in the file selection list. Any comments?
subequations
A few months ago Dekel gave sombody on the list the following advice on subequations:
If you want your formulae to be numbered like this:
8.46, 8.47a, 8.47b, 8.48,...
then write \begin{subequations} before the 2nd formula,
and \end{subequations} after the 3rd formula.
Now I want to use this in a equation array environment. LyX now produces the following
latex:
\begin{subequations}
\begin{equationarray}
...
\end{subequations}
\end{equationarray}
which ofcourse results in a number of latex errors.
How to do this correct within LyX? Or is there another way to achieve subequation
numbering in a equationarray?

float placement problems after upgrading to 1.2.x
Hi, I encountered the problem that my floats were not placed according to the !tbp settings in the document layout dialog. When I exported my document to tex I saw that most figures had htbp placement settings. When I remember well, these are the figures I inserted before switching to 1.2.x. So probably something went wrong when LyX 1.2 inported the document that was in 1.6.x format at that time. I fixed this by deleting by hand all placement lines in insets in my LyX file. I guess the problem is caused by the fact that lyx 1.6 specified the location of every individual float to be equal to the global setting. LyX 1.2 uses the global location only for floats that do not have a individual location specified, so it does not overule old settings from 1.6. If I am correct than I think this behaviour should be changed. It would be better if LyX 1.2 would make the global placement variable equal to the values used in the 1.6 document and *remove* all placement specifications for the individual float. Bye and thanks for the great work! Martijn

captions apart from floats
Hi, I am preparing an article (revtex), and have to print all floats after the text. This can be achieved using the endfloats option of revtex. But I am also required to separate the figure text (captions) from the figures themselves. Do not ask me why, I think this is stupid too, but my supervisor wants it this way.

[graphics preview] known problem but...
Hi, Included graphics is not shown in LyX with lyx 1.6-fix2. (I am still using 1.6 for an important document, that was created with 1.6). Searching docs an mailinglist archives learned that this was a bug in ghostscript that has been fixed in 6.53, so I have upgraded to 6.53. Now part of my pictures (Grace graphs) are shown, but more are not. LaTeX output is OK. When I open the usersguide, esher-lsd.eps is shown, platypus.eps is not. Has anybody a solution for this? In 1.2 preview works, but for this document I do not want to use 1.2 yet, it is too important and I would not like to break compatibility with 1.6.

lyx ingnores second keystroke
Sometimes LyX refuses I encouter the problem that lyx refuses every second identical keystroke. So 'willing' becomes 'wiling'. The problem is independent of the key I try and occurs only in the LyX main window, not in the dialogs, and also not in other programs. Restarting LyX does not help, restarting X does help.

changing caption environment & positioning of figures
Hello, Today I finished my master thesis, but I still have two problems: The most important is that one of my figures is not inserted in my document. This is a small figure in a floatflt environment. The problem is that this figure follows after a huge figure float containing three figures. This float is printed on a separate page, but LaTeX seems to be unable to insert the small figure before the huge one. I inserted the large float at the very beginning of the section it belongs to. How can I solve this? My preferences for the insertion of floats are htbp. Changing to !htbp does not solve my problem. My second problem is that the captions are hardly discernable from the normal text. I want to print them in a slightly smaller font and italic. How can I change the caption environment? Thanks in advance, Martijn P.S. My document is 54 pages, contains 15 figurefloats with 25 figures, about 10 tables and hundreds of equations. And still LyX runs smoothly! On a 486!

Best way to insert many pictures
Hi, I have three graphs belonging to the same paragraph, and want the appear together beside the text. A part of the text consist of a 'itemize' paragraph. I tried to achieve this in several ways but I do not succeed: 1) Inserting three separate figure floats. Inserting figure floats in at 'itemize' environment results in error messages (missing \item commands) 2) Inserting three figures in one float. The figures don't even appear. When I insert only two pictures, the second figure overlaps with the text. 3) Inserting the figures in a table in a figure float. With the 'floatflt' option disabled it works, but when I enable it, everything is gone again. How can I deal with this? I prefer to have three floats, since I prefer to have three captions. Another problem is that some pictures are transparant. This are .eps files create from normal .ps files with ps2epsi. Who can help me? Martijn _____________ Martijn Brouwer [EMAIL PROTECTED]

importing figures from windows applications
Hello, I have lots of figures in excel files and want to import them into LyX. I tried this by printing my figures to a file with a postscript printer (HP4000TN PS). Then I convert the .prn files with ps2epsi to .epsi files, from which I remove the bitmap image by hand. Now I have .eps files that I can view in gv. But when I import them in LyX and make them 50 percent of the page in the figure dialog, the figures keep their original (A4 landscape) size. The result of this is that the figure does not fit in my document and is not printed. How can I solve this problem? Is there some command in the .eps file that causes this and has to be deleted? Is it better to import figures from windows apps in another way? Which? Thanks, Martijn _ Martijn Brouwer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
