Your vncserver probably runs in 8 bit *TrueColor* which causes many problems. You should either run it in 8 bit PseudoColor by using the -cc 3 flag or run in in 16 bit (or more) TrueColor using the -depth 16 flag.

The [n] is for unicode characters which cannot be converted to latin1
(in your case, I think that these are spacing characters).
To get rid of those, edit the file text.c in the wv sources,
and uncomment line 1622 (the line
if (char16 >= 0x80) printf("[%x]", char16);
)
Also, you can send your complaints to the wv authors.

This looks like an older egcs compiler is being run trying to build binaries that are compatible with older libs. I might be wrong though. I seem to have deleted your earlier email listing all the libraries you had installed but it may be worth trying two things: 1. make sure /etc/ld.so.conf lists non-standard¹ directories that those libraries may be in and then run ldconfig (you'll need to root to do this) ¹ anything other than /lib and /usr/lib 2. It'd be nice to know why c++ is being tried instead of g++. I'm sure g++ is supposed to be tested first. How many compilers do you have installed? What does: ls -l `locate g++ | grep bin` and ls -l `locate c++ | grep bin` result in? Allan. (ARRae)

Document Revision feature request
I was wondering if Lyx could do something along the lines of a track changes to a document by multiple authors (So that they can be checked and later accepted or rejected) . If there is a way of doing this please help me out and let me know. This would be really handy since all the documents that I write are edited and reviewed electronically by my boss then updated by myself. At the moment we use Word which can be a real pain at times. Thanks, Tulan.

CVS can show differences between two versions of a document, becoming familiar with the LyX format gives clues what has changed... IIRC within LyX there is a sub menu for version control issues.

The CVS version now creates a table of contents when doing ascii export, so this feature will be in 1.1.6 which will be released soon.

I also have had troubles with LyX (1.1.5) and VNC - while LyX starts up fine, there seems to be a problem with LyX keeping up with my typing in VNC - it skips characters frequently, resulting in unusable work. Other applications (ApplixWare, e.g.) work fine, and can indeed keep pace. FWIW, this version of LyX worked perfectly in remote Xwindows sessions. A final word: since compiling and installing 1.1.6pre3 (nice work!), my VNC problem has disappeared. I, also, have not done my homework to figure out why, content with the fact that it now works.

Writing my syllabus in latex with Lyx
I had a syllabus in MS Word, and used word2tex to convert to tex. Then on Linux I'm using LyX to edit it. The import with relyx worked fine, I was impressed. There are a couple of things that have me stumped, and I'm sure it is just a new user problem. I don't know what document class to use. I also need numbered paragraphs that are like the "hanging" paragraphs in MS WORD, with the first line at the margin and following lines indented. I want the end result like so.

Before cursing LaTeX as the most stupid typesetting program at all,
try to consider, that there is another target which LaTeX tries to hit
(as usuall). Which is the optimal placement of the picture (or table)
in the output. When you have a huge rectangle in the text, things
are getting extremely complicated for the typesetter, unless it is
allowed to float figures freely.
Therefore, I would recommend NOT to use !h option, but rather to
be prepared, that my figure (or table) may be placed somewhere
else and refer to it only indirectly ("see table 4"). Than you need not
it being placed directly after the particular paragraph and reader can
easily find where it best fit for typesetter.
More could be find in one very old article in TUGBOAT by Phillip
Taylor (big article -- something about book typesetting).

Hello, when I convert a file (lyx) into a file html the result is very fine, but not any of amya or netscape(3.04) can display the mathematical expressions...it is not a problem with lyx but, wich are the softs allows to display mathematical expression written in html ? Thanks for idea. Gerard.

The problem was that the picture was covering the text... So, the text was
not moving accordingly.
Any idea?

copy the following lyx-layout as myStyles.inc into ~/.lyx/layouts
and insert in ~/.lyx/layouts/stdclass.inc a line
Input myStyles.inc
start lyx new and you can choose the format HangIndent, it's in
color blue and gives what you want. With ctrl-enter you'll get
a new paragraph with same indentation.
