Install Fourier package/style
I managed to get the Fourier-GUT package installed on my laptop, but now I have a netbook that I need to sync with the laptop files and *cannot* seem to find the info on how to install the Fourier-GUT in LyX. I tried doing what the readme said regarding using updmap, but keep getting an error that says could not find fourier.map at all. The file IS there, because I hunted around in the Fourier-GUT folders and found it. But the install is not finding it. Please note I am running Linux 8 Helena on my brand-new Gateway LT2108u netbook, so the above was accomplished via terminal. I have only been using Linux about 6 mos, so I don't know all the geek-speak (very little, actually). The instructions I've found usually seem written in ancient Sumerian, as I only recently left the Windows environment where you just click an .exe file and everything is installed for you. Simple, newbie, dummy-proof English would be most appreciated!! Thanks, Karen

You cannot install Fourier in LyX. It's a LaTeX package that should (preferabely) be installed via your Linux package manager. Under Debian (and probabely also under Ubuntu), you would just install the package texlive-fonts-extra. Please note I am running Linux 8 Helena ... I don't know about Helena, what kind of Linux distribution is this (Fedora, RedHat, SuSE, Debian, Ubuntu, ...)? Which LaTeX packages did you install? I tried doing what the readme said regarding using updmap, but keep getting an error that says could not find fourier.map at all. The file IS there, because I hunted around in the Fourier-GUT folders and found it. But the install is not finding it. This looks like a manual install. Some REAME files are not up-to date. My receipe is 1. copy to /usr/local/share/texmf/ 2. `mktexlsr` or `texhash` 3. create /etc/texmf/updmap.d/42*.conf with Map *.map Datei (see existing dvips/config/config.* or *.conf files) 4. `update-updmap` 5. `updmap-sys` Günter

You cannot install Fourier "in LyX". It's a LaTeX package that should (preferabely) be installed via your Linux package manager.
