Quoting "Jacek M. Holeczek" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I'm sorry but this is the only patch that I really care about very much.
This patch DOES WORK. I tested it with many different characters and
symbols that LyX cannot display natively, but LaTeX can.
Just try to put into your preferred .kmap file characters like "\\euro{}",
"\\oe{}", "\\ng{}", "{\\euro}", "{\\oe}", "{\\ng}", "$\\nicefrac{1}{4}$",
"$\\nicefrac{1}{2}$", ... and then try to press the corresponding key
sequence in LyX ... then apply my patch, recompile LyX ... and try to
press the corresponding key sequence again ... you'll notice the
difference.
(Note, it's LyX-1.4, no LyX-1.5 for me for the next couple of years ...)
You are dealing with that at the wrong level, at least one level that we have
never supported.
Those special cases are dealt by lyx when exporting to latex, you are just
shortcutting the process.
Last, but not least, LyX does not provide any other way, for a user, to
redefine "key sequences". The only way is to use kmap files. That is why
it is important that this is working. I believe that even in future, with
unicode characters, the user should be able to bind his/her own characters
and/or symbols to dedicated key sequences, especially if these characters
and/or symbols are not present in unicode and thus require dedicated short
LaTeX code.
If they can't upgrade to 1.5, how can they upgrade to 1.4.4? It looks like
You decided to drop support for xforms and qt-3 in LyX-1.5. You only
support qt>=4.1. This is a blocking issue.
As I have already written, I need a "common standard" that works on
a couple of different OS flavors and different OS versions ...
For the moment my basic system is based on RHEL-3 with qt-3.1. In one year
from now moving probably to RHEL-5 (once it is there, certified, ...) ...
I doubt it will use qt-4 ... especially as even the newest (free) RedHat
Fedora Core 6 still uses qt-3.3 ...
Yes I know I can compile qt-4 myself, but this is not really an option for
me ... I have to be flexible, be able to work in multisystem environment.
The choice is clear. Either LyX-1.4 or pure LaTeX2e.
Fedora has qt4, it has been since June (IIRC).
One of Fedora projects is EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux)
that will
have qt4 for RHEL-4 and 5. The maintainer of the package is Rex Dieter,
the same
maintainer of LyX in Fedora. So the option is there.
Best regards,
Jacek.
