I seem to remember this error from when I tried to install lyx-1.3.3/qt on my machinge (Suse 8.0). I solved it by installing the bluesky fonts in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1. Though it took me quite some time before I found what was going wrong Make sure to run texhash after installing any fonts. Hope that helps. Jeannette

You can cut the image from the caption line
and paste it into a new line with standard layout.
The only problem is, that LyX doesn't realize, that
there was a graphic inserted, so it doesn't write
into the preamble \usepackage{graphicx}.

It uses some type1 glyphs (from different sources) but also bitmap fonts, if type1 glyphs are not available. cm-super and latin modern have been designed as "consistent" font family, the glyphs really match together, thus the better (typographic) quality.

No idea. For me, they look o.k. (but the decision between lmodern and cm-super is also a matter of taste). I like lmodern, because the package is much smaller and it is easy to install. But as I said, it is still in beta state and thus, there are still some minor glitches. cm-super is huge, but has more glyphs for non-latin languages. Also I think that a pdf can be searched in acroread only with lmodern. Jürgen.

Problem solved, Herbert's way. Thanks to all of you for being helpful. I'll be
back, for sure... As for considfering installing 1.3.3, I'll do it as soon as
I'll have switch from Debian Woody to Mandrake 9.2 (I use my computer more
and more as a workstation, producing text (as support to the courses I give),
short source code (exercises or examples for my students) in C, Python,
Ocaml.. and compiling it, getting docs and papers on the internet and I feel
less and less fond of administration, having prcticed for 15 years.. ). Also,
I quite often need the very last version of the software I use (cf LyX),
which can be a problem with Debian.
In short I like Debian a lot but think it's no more adapted to my needs...

Graphs in LyX
Hi all,
After looking at LyX a while ago, I've come back and am impressed with
the progress. LyX on Mac OS X is just gorgeous.
Anyway, I teach high school math, and would love to use LyX to typeset
tests and such. I realize there will be some problems (I need to leave
lots of blank spaces for students to work out the answers, for
example), but I'm guessing a judicious use of vertical space will fix
those. The one thing I'm not sure how to deal with is graphs. Often I
need to print the graph of a function and have students identify which
function it represents or provide a blank graph on which students graph
a function I provide.
In LaTeX I've been using mfpic because it seems an easy way to create
PDF compatible files and had commands like \function{-8}{8}{.1}{x**2}
which would draw x^2 on a coordinate plane from x=-8 to x=8 graphing a
new point every .1.
So, I have two questions:
1) Should I be using something else? Remember I'll mostly be drawing
simple coordinate axes with graphs of functions on them.
2) If mfpic is the way to go, can I automate the pdflatex; mpost;
pdflatex cycle in LyX so that when I click View all my graphs get
inserted correctly?
TIA,
Todd

Re: Graphs in LyX
Todd, Have you tried using Grace? Lyx accepts Grace files as figures, and it's pretty good at producing any kind of graph.

this is very easy to handle with pst-plot

No, it's an issue of some brain-dead code in the configure script,
lib/configure (or $PREFIX/share/lyx/configure if you did manage to
'make install')
Put the attached patch in the lib directory and, from this directory,
run
$ patch -p0 < configure.diff
Thereafter, cross your fingers and hope that 'make install' works ;-)

Why would it? You already know that 'make' works fine.
> Next?
Comment out the line in lib/Makefile. Here's the block of code. Get
rid of the last line.
install-xfonts:
test -f xfonts/fonts.dir || exit 0 ; \
$(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdatadir)/xfonts ; \
files=`sed -e 's/^[0-9]*$$//' -e 's/^\([^ ]*\) .*$
$/\1/' xfonts/fonts.dir` ; \
for i in $${files} ; do \
ln -f -s `kpsewhich $$i` $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdatadir)/xfonts/$$i ; \
done ; \
$(INSTALL_DATA) xfonts/fon
ts.dir $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdatadir)/xfonts/fonts.dir ; \
$(INSTALL_DATA) xfonts/fonts
.scale $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdatadir)/xfonts/fonts.scale
test -f xfonts/PSres.upr && $(INSTALL_DATA) xfonts/PSr
es.upr $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdatadir)/xfonts/PSres.upr
It would be useful, however, if you could discover WHY it is failing.
1. Does the directory 'xfonts' exist?
2. Does the file xforms/PSres.upr exist?
3. I think that $(INSTALL_DATA) is '/usr/bin/ginstall -c -m 644'.
What happens if you run the command 'by hand'?
$ /usr/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 xfonts/PSres.upr
/usr/local/share/lyx/xfonts/PSres.upr && echo success || echo failure
