QT 3/Win Free

2005-01-16 Thread michael.schmitt
Dear Qt 3/Win Free developers, first of all thank you very much for fixing the font metrics bug that increased the usability of "LyX/Qt3/Win Free" significantly! However, I have identified another problem with your Qt port that is related to drawing dotted lines. For drawing table cell boundar

solution for LyXWin's math font problems

2005-01-16 Thread Uwe StÃhr
Hello LyXers, LyXWin uses the LaTeX-XFT fonts in TrueType (ttf) format to render math constructs. But these fonts are not correctly scaleable, e.g. the equal sign "=" disappears when using different zooms for the screen font. Ekkehart Schlicht (schlicht-at-lmu.de) send me now a modified cmr10 fo

I attach two (small) screen shots of LyX when it starts up under both linux and windows. The windows version uses the Qt Free/Win32 port. Apart from the rather obvious mess of the splash screen, notice also that the windows version doesn't display the deactivated icons. -- Angus<><>

LyX on Windows

2005-01-16 Thread Angus Leeming
Good evening, Ruurd. I wonder if you could help out a Windows novice --- me? My question concerns the way that Windows treats LyX --- as a Windows GUI app or as a console one. At the moment, Windows believes that LyX is a console app because it has a "main" function rather than a "WinMain". You'v

[PATCH 13x] LyX exits if it fails to create a temp dir

2005-01-16 Thread Angus Leeming
Jean-Marc, we decided recently that if LyX failed to create a temp directory then it should inform the user and exit. Looking at the code, I see that's exactly what the 1.4.x code base does. The 1.3.x code, however, is a little different because of the existence of the LyXRC::use_temp_dir boolean.

Andreas, perhaps you'd try out the attached patch which attempts to resolve your problems with my stripping out of the hard coded additions to the PATH environment variable for MacOSX, replacing it with a LyXRC::path_prefix variable. This attempt runs /configure after the various lyxrc files
