Re: Odd printing behavior... mauve colons
AFAIR, mauve column are used by lyx to indicate latex "minipages". As a minipage may be really "strongly" formatted, this should be the point. Try (or something like this) menu.

Re: Odd printing behavior... mauve colons
I mentioned originally that I noticed a "mauve colon" on the left side of the viewed area in lyx. I have rexamined my printed output (and dvips shows the same, FWIW) and note the following, which must be linked to this: The first line of the document prints on its own page (the first page). The second page runs off the bottom, below the page number. This is the area in which I have made modifications to the original exam material (which was read in as an ascii file). The third page shows unmodified text. The mauve colon actually should have been described as colons before Every line in the section which I modified, which runs off the page. There is no colon in the left margin of the first line. There is no colon next to the lines found on the third page. Nothing but colons in between. I have a feeling that I somehow marked and formatted the entire section in some way to force it to act as a single unit, including making it literally run off the printed page. Kenward

My Lyx version is 1.1.12, from Debian, out of the unstable (potato) area. Changes are those I tried to describe. The problem is knowing when the change actually occured. As I got more comfortable with keying in things I'd go a longer time before saving and printing out. Thanks! Kenward

Odd printing behavior
I've been converting an exam over to Lyx as a way of learning how things work, and have run into an extremely perplexing problem. The printing has changed. Whereas once when I printed out 2 pages I would get exactly what I expected (as the screen shows me), now I get a blank first page followed by a second page which runs past the allowable margin at the bottom. If I am printing out 3 or 4 pages, I discover that I have completely lost the intermediate pages that I have modified and I see unmodified material printed. Many modifications involve creating math formula representations of super(sub-)scripts and symbols used in chemical equations. The document is being formatted as a large enumerated list (as it is multiple choice for a final exam). Several questions are changed, then the format changed to enumerate for that part. Tables are being used when needed to list choices when the format demands it, with the table being nested appropriately (M-p arrow) to adjust other parts of the enumerated list. I've inserted an image or two and later deleted them. I have also occasionally changed document layouts to see what (if any) differences existed. The paper layout has been toyed with as well, changing from default to USLetter and changing margins (from blanks to 20mm and back). Nothing seems to change the new undesired behavior. I have also changed the enumerate back to standard on work done since the last recalled good point in my work. The only thing I have noticed is the appearance of what seems to be a light mauve colon at the left edge of the left margin. I don't know if this is normal or indicative of something I did to the document. Can someone offer any help in tracking down what happened to (what _was_) a beautifully developing exam??

Booklet Printing with Lyx
Does anyone know of a good way to print in booklet style on letter size paper? I worked for several hours yesterday and after much trial and error I got something to work but it is not an elegant solution. I used the postscript utilities plus some strange paper and margin settings in Lyx to achieve the desired results. I had to select a custom papersize of 5.5 inches by 11.5 inches, a top margin of 1.25 inches, left margin of 0.4in, right margin of 0.75 inches and a header margin of 1.5 inches. This was done on the default document article class. I then printed to a file (file.ps). And used the following commands. psbook file.ps file2.ps psnup -w8.5in -h11in -W5.5in -H8.5in file2.ps file3.ps gv file3.ps I then printed selected pages from Ghostview. I think the reason for the strange settings in Lyx is that dvip automatically processes assuming letter size paper. At least that is what appears on the command line in Lyx when I tell it to print to a file. Anyway, if someone knows of a simpler and more straight forward way to do this please let me know.

Actually I tried it, before I posted that. (I remembered that to get a proper ß instead of SS, you have to use Latin-1, so I thought it might apply there as well.) It did not help. Latin-1 produces the wrong characters, Latin-2 produces LaTeX errors regarding certain characters such as the Yen, Latin-5 produces different wrong characters. Ok: I've gone looking for more information. I made a short document with different characters in it. (Contains lines like "This should be cent: ¢".) Trying to print with Latin-1 produces an error, "Command \textcent unavailable in encoding T1"; printing with "default" encoding produces no errors. In the PS file thus generated is the line, "y(This)d(should)g(be)f(cent:)18 b(\264)-18 b(c)71 702". In the printed output I get a "c" with a ' over it for cent, ¡ instead of ½, and £ instead of ¿. TeX generates \A2 for the cent character.

Printing odd characters?
Hi... Ok, here is a difficulty I stumbled across while reading the User's Guide. :) I read with interest the section on printing all those weird foreign characters, and began experimenting with LyX "keymaps" to see how many of those I could enter. It turns out for my normal typing (English and sometimes German) I do not need LyX keymaps, as the customized Xmodmap setup I have works fine. (It utilizes the "Menu" key from my Windoze keyboard -- a key which I have never seen any Windows user actually use -- as a "Multi-key" to allow me to make things like Ø or ß.) However, some things I can enter from the keyboard and might like to use from time to time, such as ½ (one-half) or ¿ (Spanish upside-down question mark) do not print properly. Depending on which encoding I select for the document, the ¿, for instance, may print as as a British pound sign or a z with a dot over it. Is there something more I need to do with LyX, or possibly (La)TeX, to actually print these characters? I don't type in Spanish, but I might occasionally want to use the ½, ¾, or ¢ (cent) signs in my documents, so this knowledge should be useful.

Printing Users Manual
I am a new lyx user and have been trying to print the users manual. In a previous post I pointed out a failure because latex could not find file 'rotating.sty'. I have now installed this file and also file 'url.sty' and now complaints about missing files have gone away. Thanks for the help Kayvan A. Sylvan. Now instead of getting 1 error I get 208 errors. All the errors appear to be of the form: ! Undefined control sequence. l.# message The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. If ... Most of these messages occur immediately preceding Emphasized text such as: using the [Error]Insert->Table Float menu item. Most others appear immediately preceding a `\` character A few appear after footnotes. There are errors in the table immediately predceing section 4.4.2. There could be a few errors not in any of the above categories. Any ideas as to why I am getting these errors? Thanks in advance for you time. Ralph Boland
Debugging printing flags
OK, I'm now trying to print multiple unsorted copies using dvilj. It's
giving me an error message ("argument to -c not a valid integer"). -c is
the flag I've told LyX to use for multiple copies, and it's the right one
according to the man page. Unfortunately I can't see what command line LyX
is actually constructing. This is ironic, as when it doesn't work it's
overwritten by an error message, but when it does it's not.
How can I see the command line so I can debug the process?

Printing non-english text
Hi, I have been doing the Greek translation recently for LyX and all went well. I can read and write in greek, BUT when I try to view DVI or PostScript I get either latin characters only, or "unreadable" greek ones. I checked the teTeX installation and its fine [supports greek and xdvi shows greek tex files]. So the problem is with LyX. I don't seem to find my way around this so a quick hint will help. Thanks, Menelaos Maglis P.S. This question isn't Greek specific.

On solaris, both the linker (final setp of compilation) and the run-time loader (which loads the file to run it) have to know where to look for libraries. I guess that your compiler looks in /usr/loca/lib/ (in what follows, replace this directory with where libXpm actually was), finds the lib, but does not tell the run-time loader to look there. To fix this when configuring lyx, you should be able to add the --with-extra-lib=/usr/local/lib/ option to configure, which is supposed to do the right thing for solaris. Hope this helps. JMarc

Printing revisited and libXpm.so.4.7
Hello, I'm the individual who could not get the "Print..." option highlighted on my compiled lyx. The short of it is I got it to show up and to work, but I'd like to share with you what I discovered in the process. It was very serendiputous. In recompiling version 1.0.3, I tried things again, and I discovered that the "Print..." option showed up suddenly. I didn't know what I did differently, but I accepted that it worked and tested it out. I then tried things as a "new user" and when I went to use lyx, the "Print..." option was not highlighted any more. I noted that it made a ".lyx" subdirectory and the difference between the one that worked and the one that did not was the "lyxrc.defaults" file. I moved that file out of the way and restarted lyx with the "new user" and I could then see the "Print..." option again. So, there is something in the "lyxrc.defaults" file that prevents the seeing of the print option. I noted that doing an "Options -> Reconfigure" recreated the file and thus made printing unavailable again. Given that the lyxrc.defaults file might be needed by users for some important features, what do I need to make sure is in the file so that "Print..." will be highlighted? (I thought it might be some configuration file). Here is the current default file. This is a Solaris 2.5.1 machine: === start lyxrc.defaults file === # This file has been automatically generated by LyX' lib/configure # script. It contains default settings that have been determined by # examining your system. PLEASE DO NOT MODIFY ANYTHING HERE! If you # want to customize LyX, make a copy of the file LYXDIR/lyxrc as # ~/.lyx/lyxrc and edit this file instead. Any setting in lyxrc will # override the values given here. \latex_command "none" \relyx_command "reLyX" \literate_command "none" \literate_extension "none" \ps_command "gs" \view_ps_command "ghostview -swap" \view_pspic_command "ghostview" \ascii_roff_command "groff -t -Tlatin1 $$FName" \chktex_command "none" \spell_command "ispell" \fax_command "none" \print_spool_command "lp" \print_spool_printerprefix "-d " \font_encoding "" === end lyxrc.defaults file === Second problem is that if I start lyx in some directory without the libXpm.so.4.7 file in it, I get the error message: ld.so.1: lyx: fatal: ./libXpm.so.4.7: open failed: No such file or directory Killed The problem is easy to solve by copying the file from the src directory of lyx, but there must be a better solution. I'm guessing it could be fixed at compile time, but there may be some other place things need to be changed. If someone can point me to where I need to change things to resolve this, I would greatly appreciate it. Hal Huntley SRI International [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: printing not highlighted
Hello Hal, I also use LyX on Solaris 2.6 (amongst other platforms). I think your TeX download from Sunfreeware is not the best for use with LyX (directory structure conventions). I suggest to use the teTex distribution for which you can download binaries and sources from http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/search/tetex.html I used the teTex 0.4 Solaris 2.5 version on Solaris 2.6 without any problems. It is not in pkgadd format however.

printing not highlighted
I'm new to this list, and I'd bet the problems I'm having are not unique to me, so if there is an FAQ I can reference that has the answers, I'll be happy to start there. After a brief look through the archives of the list and the web page, I haven't seen this issue, though. I've succeeded in compiling lyx on a Solaris 2.5.1 Ultra-1 machine. We have gcc/g++ 2.8.1 on it. We want to print, but the File -> Print option is not highlighted to allow this. We have dvips in /usr/local/bin, and it is a version from 1993. Is there something that needs to be in lyxrc.default? Do I need to set some value in config.h before compiling? I figure it must be something fairly simple.

printing problem
Hello! I'v encountered one problem when trying to use booklet printing with Lyx. I want to print 2 A5 pages from my book on one A4 paper. When I was using psbook & psnup utility, the ouput on A4 was always shifted up & therefore cut off. Today, however, I discovered that the problem is not in psbook & psnup, but in the postscript output itself. When I use print dialog from Lyx to print to file, the command is: dvips -o "file.ps" file.dvi & which results in corrupted ps file. When using option, View Postscript in Lyx, the command is dvips -o file.ps_tmp -t a5 file.dvi which gives correct ps file that can be later manipulated with psbook & psnup. I also looked in my /etc/texmf/dvips/config.ps file and added definition for A5 format. Please, if someone can enlighten me what to change in my setup to get correct ps file after using print to file option, since using temporary files is not so convenient. I assume I have to change my lyxrc, but I do not watn to screw anything. Thanks for any info. Sincerely, Sasa p.s. Otherwise, I'm so impressed with the Lyx.

Printing problem
Hi, I just started using LyX (v1.0.1) and I'm having a printing problem. When i print from LyX, I do not get a top margin. The text starts printing from the very edge of the paper. If I view postscript and print from the viewer (I use GV), the document prints with a top margin. What am I missing?

Sure there is, and even better - it works at least for me, LyX 1.0.2pre1 "3-" is a valid option for the "-pp" switch of dvips, so it could be sent directly there. By watching the minibuffer of LyX I recognized that LyX does something else: It just inserted a very large number (in this case: 1000) for the last page, which also did work. So for John (or who asked the question?): If it really doesn't work for you the correct answer is to upgrade LyX or to print manually Peter -- ~~ Peter "Pit" Suetterlin http://www.uni-sw.gwdg.de/~pit Universitaets-Sternwarte Goettingen Tel.: +49 551 39-5048 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- * -- * ...-- * -- * ...-- * -- * ...-- * -- * ...-- * -- * ...-- * -- Come and see the stars! http://www.kis.uni-freiburg.de/~ps/SFB Sternfreunde Breisgau e.V.

RE: printing page range; kdvi?
Hi, you've got to know the number of pages, lets call it np Then give the print range: 3-np There is no automatic way to do it - is there ? I dont think there is even a Latex counter that could be used here... Kdvi kinda still sucks, I could not use it either, because everytime its called it started recalculating the fonts... Took forever to view a one page document. I searched the KDE - mailing lists and I honestly dont think Kdvi is maintained by anyone right now. THe bug is known for quite a while and never got fixed. Anyway you can set xdvi resources to fit your screen in .Xresources e.g. xdvi*geometry:945x985+0+0 xdvi..keepPosition: True xdvi*background:white and so on. Read the manual page, its all there. Too bad kdvi (and kghostview btw.) are in such a miserable state...

printing page range; kdvi?
Hi, all... Two questions: When printing a range of pages, how does one specify, "Print from page 3 to the last page"? I have tried everything I can think of, such as "3-", "3...", and other strange things, and nothing produces anything other than an error. Also, has anyone successfully configured LyX to use the KDE dvi viewer, kdvi? I have gone into TeXconfig to see if that was where I could do it, but I don't even think it's set up properly -- I can print files, and view dvis, yet if I go to "xdvi configuration" I get a message, "'' does not exist" and TeXconfig exits. (It says it will display the error log, but it does not.) I would rather use kdvi than xdvi, if possible, because xdvi never fits on my screen, so its controls are often inaccessible.

Problems printing help docs
I'm having problems printing out the Help documentation to lyx 1.0.1. Has any body had similar problems? Specifically: None of the help documents (except for Intro.lyx) will print. Exporting to LaTeX and trying to compile directly I find that: 1. The lyx command "\backslash" becomes latex "\textbackslash". 2. lyx ">" becomes latex "\textgreater". 3. lyx "<" becomes latex "\textless". 4. lyx "|" becomes latex "\textbar". My latex2e compiler knows nothing about these commands. Furthermore: 5. In Extended.lyx I get the error "! Use of \@array doesn't match its definition." Angus

Hi Yaneric,
have you tried

Re: printing lyx files on Windoze
Well, there isn't a higher resolution listed, but when i edited the box to 600x600, the resolution came out better, but all the text was squashed together with almost no space between lines. But at least it was better quality. -jm - He who laughs last... obviously didn't get the joke.

Is there any way to get that level of quality? What kind of printer do you use? Maybe you are used to a 600 dpi laser print out and managed somehow to configure LyX/dvips/... to use 300 dpi.

Problems with printing german character
Hi,
this is the first time I'm posting on this list and I just started to use
LyX.
My first question is related to a problem which appears when I'm using the
'ß', the equivalent to 'ss' in german language in my documents. (To see
what I mean you have to set your display to ISO 8859-1, sorry, I don't
have any idea about what this character is called in english). Lyx is
displaying it correctly, but if I wan't to see/print it as DVI or PS the
'ß' is replaced by 'SS'. Where can I change that?
As said before, I just started to use LyX/LaTeX so please bear with me.
Perhaps there are any german speaking people on this list, who can answer
my question...
Thanks,
Pablo
