Dear Lyx users,
texlive2016, GUI (manually installed as user)
Ly<x 2.2.0 (manually installed as root)
Mageia5, x86_64, KDE, working very well since about 7 months.
I have plenty of documents produced with LyX 2.1 and texlive2013, both
standard installations using Mageia's software manager.
When opening these documents in LyX 2.2 I noted the following:
- all documents *without* glosses work in LyX 2.2 and all export to PDF
without problems
- some documents with glosses work in LyX as should while some
generate that
error.
Comparing and changing the settings of working and not working
documents
made no difference.
Thinking the reason was because they were produced with my older
versions I
started a new document in LyX 2.2 and started writing glosses.
To my surprise I got the same error. See attached mini file.
The comment in the log file that comes along with the error doesn't
tell me
anything.
Could somebody please explain / help to resolve this problem?
Thanks,
Michael
Hi Michael,
Thanks for sending a minimal example!
This is a case (I admit they are rare) where the error is extremely
informative. Did you read it? Is there any part of it that is confusing?
Here is the error when you compile your .lyx file. I post it here
so that if you have a question you can reference the exact part
that you have a question about:
You should note that since 1994 LaTeX2e provides a new font
selection scheme called NFSS2 with several new, combinable font...
When you contact the author of the LaTeX package that is at fault,
can you please link to that bug report or keep this thread updated
confirming that you sent the maintainer a bug report (and also
subsequently when they reply?).
So presumably this is some sort of error in the covington package,
which seems to be the one we are loading.
Perhaps Jurgen knows something....

Hi Scott, Richard, thanks,
of course, I did read the complete error message several times - and got
even more confused.
As a layman I basically understand that one should not use outdated
packages.
Help me, please, what else if not TL2016? It appears to me that what
happened here is just the opposite: everything worked with TL2013 and
now does NOT with TL2016?!
Furthermore: ALL my documents in question are basically identical and
ALL have in common to using the module 'linguistic' which requires
'covington.sty'. And the glosses in each are exactly the same by each
single letter!
This being the case I tried different settings in the documents with
that error - nothing changed.
So, I feel Richard may be dam...ed close to presume some sort of error
in/with the covington package.
Please recall what I said:
- all documents *without* glosses work in LyX 2.2 and all export to PDF
without problems
- some documents with glosses work in LyX as should while some generate
that error.
Was Jürgen, as the one who added so many nice features to glosses and
certainly must have tried using them, not facing "my" error?
Actually it is Jürgen's features that are so very interesting for
linguistic papers that encouraged me to go for the latest packages.
I very much hope that Jürgen who already helped me so many times will be
able to help in this case too.
Scott, if it comes to contact the authors of the LaTeX package you must
put me on the right track as I wouldn't know how to proceed with that.
Cheers!
Michael
