pdf fonts
Hi all, I have just tried out the new LyX 1.1.6 and its new shiny integrated PDF exporters, and I've found that the generated PDF documents have really ugly fonts, close to unreadable in Acrobat Reader. I'm sure there's a way to fix this ;-). Any hint? TIA, Arkaitz.

layout->document->fonts->pslatex
and in your atex preamble
\usepackage{ae}

Only _one_ of the above should be used!
(and instead of the latter, it is better to use \usepackage{ae,aecompl} ).

Formatting: endfloats+short captions, PDF fonts
Greetings lyxers!
I have a few problems formatting my thesis (which is of course must be
turned in quite soon), and am looking for help.
All these queries relate to lyx-1.1.6fix3-1 on redhat 7.1 linux.
My thesis is set up ambitiously as a multipart document using a style
file for I.U. theses that is based on the book class. I "include" each
chapter after the chapter heading; I need to have a bibliography and
figures at the end of each chapter. Currently, each chapter has a
separate bibligraphy inset, as suggested on Herbert's tips page.
1. float placement (RRRGH!)
I can get my figures at the end of the chapter using the package
"endfloat", but it puts in a separate page in front of the
references that says this:
[figure 1 should go about here]
[figure 2 should go about here]
[figure 3 should go about here]
etc.
Not good. It also prints a list of figures, but doesn't use the
short captions like the lyx LOF does.
If I put in a Figures section after the bib inset, I always get
page that is blank except for the section label "Figures" before
the first figure; if I don't put in the section paragraph (which I
DO want), the figures all get the heading "bibliography".
I have put in some ERT, like this, to reset the page and the header
(and then I just throw that page away):
\section{Figures}\addtocounter{page}{-1}
What is the Better Way?
2. ChapterBib and NatBib
I have followed faithfully the suggestions on Herbert's page for
working with chapterbib in a multipart document: I put in a bibliography
inset at the end of each chapter, and I have \usepackage{chapterbib} and
\usepackage[options]{natbib} in the preamble of each document.
But, bibtex is unhappy about the repeated insets:
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.3.1)
The top-level auxiliary file: Thesis.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: ThesisAbstract.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: SSE-thesischapter.aux

Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "Tittiger93"

The CRAZY thing is that this was working (I thought) last week -- and now it
isn't, and of course I have to turn in the thesis on Wednesday.
Any clues from the loyal lyx crowd?

use the placement option "p" for "set it on an own page" instead
of the package endfloat.

try a \clearpage after bibliography

sounds that there is a problem with package chapterbib.

don't worry, these are more than two days ... ;-)
send the doc as private mail if you are in trouble.

Re: Formatting: endfloats+short captions, PDF fonts
To get rid of the markers in the text, use the option [nomarkers], and to
remove the figure or table lists, use [nofiglist] and [notablist].
[nolists] gets rid of both lists.
eg.
\usepackage[nolists,nomarkers]{endfloat}
The page with the [figure X should go here] is meant to show the
approximate location of the figures. I take it that as well as using
endfloat, you have also put your figures on after the other at the end of
the chapter? If so, you don't really need endfloat. Endfloat is meant to
allow you to leave your figures in the text, but have them moved to the
end. The [figure X...] then shows the approximate location of the figure
in the text.

\markboth{Figures}{Figures}.
You can also just move all your floats to the end of the chapter, and then
you don't need to use endfloat.

I don't know about chapterbib.
However, both bibtopic/bibunits should work with natbib.
Search the lyx-users archive for information on using these package with lyx
(or just export your files to latex, and run latex/bibtex manually).
