No "hack" needed, just use xpdf for reading your pdfs. The unsavy tends to get their linux installed by vendor or some standard distro cd.

There's no way to simultaneously enable SCREEN-reading/accessibility AND disable copying, if this is what you meant =) What I meant, yes. If the software can get at the content so as to display it, then the software may decide to stick it in the paste buffer as well. There is nothing the pdf file format can do about that. You can disable everything, including copying, but the document WILL be available for reading. This, naturally, might only apply to compliant viewers, such as Acrobat. Anyway, yeah, I know this "just use xpdf or whatever" trick too. But isn't a good pdf viewer supposed to implement the pdf standard to the full? Honor permissions, allow form-filling, text-copying and encryption? I think yes. A good pdf viewer should do whatever the _user_ wants it to. Sure, having form filling in xpdf would be nice. But honoring the no-copying bit? Not what I, as a user, want. If I don't want to copy text out of a pdf, then I don't do it! Therefore, it is no use supporting this. (Users who enjoy being prevented from copying have the option of using acrobat.) And for the cases where copy protection is on "by default/by mistake/by company standard" or whatever, it is nice that the software doesn't support it. Some writers might like the "copy protection", but it is a lost cause. Open-source pdf readers exists, so I can always turn that off again even if xpdf should implement it.

Re: Touching and updating view. Former: pdflatex paper size bug and out-of-date content
the ERT _hack_ does seem to work much better than adding self disappearing spaces as i had been doing. another useful thing would be to add something (ex '*' or '(modified)') to the Documents menu items to show which documents have changed. this would be useful even if the updating 'bug' is fixed. mamato On 12/5/05, Johan Ingvast <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >>- i have a multifile document (using inclusions). i often need to touch > >>the main file to get up-to-date output, otherwise, it won't regenerate > the > >>included files which have changed. > >> > > > > > > this is starting to be quite annoying... and touching the main file > doesnt > > always regenerate the pdf with the latest changes... is there a way to > 'make > > clean'? > I recognize the problem.

A better way would be to redefine the caption environment. Herbert Voß's
tips and tricks pages at http://tug.org/TeXnik/mainFAQ.cgi/ (available as
a link from www.lyx.org too...) have all sorts of mind blowing magic.
In this particular case, I've used the following in my preamble in the
past.
%% Set the captions to be italic
\newcommand\myCaption[1]{\itshape\refstepcounter{figure}%
\begin{center}\figurename\ \thefigure :\ #1\end{center}\upshape}
\let\caption\myCaption
Adjust to suit.

helvetica fonts on screen...
Hello, I am using Lyx 1.3.6 on a fresh Debian testing install. My favorite screen fonts are Helvetica, and I have them because I can see them in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi and in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi. These directories appear in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /usr/share/fonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts /usr/local/share/fonts ~/.fonts I have run fc-cache -f and restarted X and everything I could think of. But Lyx does not seem to see them. Neither does Konsole for that matter. Please help.

Use the LaTeX-package "caption". In your case add for example the
following line to your document preamble:
\usepackage[font=Large]{caption}
You can also set different fontsizes for the label and the caption text.
More about this is in the caption manual chapter 3.3.

[Mac OS X] Problems with pdfTeX, DVI and images (EPS, PDF, PNG, whatever)
Hello list,
I recently picked up LyX after getting some warm recommendations from
a few friends. I'm using a PowerBook with Mac OS X 10.4.3.
Thus, I picked up the i-Installer distribution at http://
ii2.sourceforge.net/tex-index.html, which seems to be the most
popular for my platform, and followed install instructions from
http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/installing.html. I selected the
2005 TeX distribution (i-Installer offers "2003", "2004" and "2005",
with 2005 being the default).
Then, I grabbed a copy of LyX 1.3.6 for Mac OS X, copied the program
to my Applications folder, and ran the install script. So far, so
good. But from there, it goes a little bit wrong.
Indeed, I cannot seem to include any graphics (images) in my
documents. Or rather, documents that are typeset perfectly fine on
Linux won't hear a thing on my computer. However, this only occurs
when I use the pdflatex, DVI or dvipdfm options of the View menu. For
a reason I cannot explain, the "ps to pdf" option works just fine.
Graphics are included by adding a float:figure element and including
within that an ERT block, with the following commands
\center{\includegraphics[scale=0.9,angle=0]{graphics/myimage.pdf or
myimage.png}}
graphics is a folder that sits next to the main lyx file.
The main document author (this is part of a team project) also added
\usepackage{graphicx}
to the document preamble.
The errors I get seem to be typical of EPS files with no bounding
boxes, but why the heck does it happen with PDFs and PNG files as
well, when those very same files work perfectly fine on Linux... An
example error:
LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in /Users/bahamut/
Documents/Sch
...cale=0.9,angle=0]{graphics/Processus.pdf}
}
Try typingto proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X to quit.
In addition to that, if I export the document to latex, and typeset
the document from say TeXShop, everything works fine (as far as
images go, some other things get lost like cross-references, which
makes this option unpractical).
I'm basically at a standstill now. I've done my share of research on
the web and came up with nothing. Maybe I'm overreacting (since ps to
pdf does work), but the issue still annoys me and I'd like to see it
resolved (or at least understand what's causing it).
Any assistance will be appreciated.
Regards,
Jean-Francois Roy

I find i-Installer to be very good as a way of installing TeX. Download a bundle of i-Installer, Ghostscript 8, and TeX from ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/macosx/volumes/tex/TeX-fat.dmg>. i-Installer will handle the downloading and installing of ImageMagick as well -- which, like Martin, I'd recommend. (Note that if you want to install this on multiple Macs, the ImageMagick.ii2 file that i-Installer downloads can simply be copied to other Macs; double-clicking on it will open it in i-Installer for easy installation.) Then install LyX/Mac. Of course this won't get you change bars; for this I'd recommend waiting for LyX-1.4.0 -- or download the source and compile a development version yourself, with the understanding that it's still buggy and not yet ready for release. Yes, the i-Installer interface can be somewhat daunting until you get used to it. But I'm sure I could do no better to produce a maintainable, reasonably bug-free, and reasonably secure installer/ updater. Bennett

It doesn't work, I have tried that several times. I've even gone as
far as completely re-installing my TeX installation and LyX from
scratch.
I forgot to mention I also have DarwinPorts installed on my machine,
and that I'm using FileVault. However, in the case of FileVault, I'm
practically certain it has no consequence because I get the exact
same problem on another Mac I own, which doesn't use FileVault.

like it very much!
It have many options like color, typeset, etc,

change all the paragraph to linebreaks is unsuitable.

[announce] fifth release of the LyXWinInstaller
Hello LyXers, I'm proud to announce the new version 0.5 of the LyX installer for Windows. You can download it from http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_id=8245 The sources are at http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_id=8244 For general informations about the installer I refer to http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller The installer installs now a prerelease of LyX 1.3.7 to let you benefit from some bugfixes and a new hungarian translation of LyX's menus. The installer variant "network" has now an option to use LyX without LaTeX and Instant preview is supported beginning with this release. This is the complete changelog: Version 0.5 - update to a prerelease of LyX 1.3.7 which includes the following changes compared to LyX 1.3.6: http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/lyx-devel/Attic/status.13x?rev=1.1.2.280&only_with_tag=BRANCH_1_3_X&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup - support for Instant preview - new option "Don't use LaTeX" in the Network variant of the installer - updated french translation of the installer (thanks to Jean-Pierre Chrétien) - new turkish translation of the installer (thanks to Gürer Özen) - new hungarian translation of the installer (thanks to Szõke Sándor) - new slovak translation of the installer (thanks to Gisela Stöhr) - updated Qt/Win Free library - updated lyx2lyx scripts - "Courier New" instead of "Courier" is now the default screen font for "typewriter" - fix bug when checking for LaTeX-distributions - fix wrong path when Ghostscript is installed together with this installer - fixed previous/next upate on missing programs page (thanks to Jörg Zastrau) - LyX shows now the correct menu language when it is opened by double-clicking on a .lyx-file I hope that you don't encounter big problems. Please read the actual Readme files first before you use the installer. Every annotation is welcome. best regards Uwe

Use the LaTeX-package "caption". In your case add for example the
following line to your document preamble:
\usepackage[font=Large]{caption}
You can also set different fontsizes for the label and the caption text.
More about this is in the caption manual chapter 3.3.
regards Uwe
Since I'm not sure that this answer addresses making the figure larger, I
will mention \scalebox discussed in oldish "LaTeX Graphics Companion".
and http://www.ccrnp.ncifcrf.gov/~toms/latexforbeginners.html /Advanced
To make figures using LaTeX2e, before your \begin{document} put
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{floatfig}
Then call the graphics directly like this:
\includegraphics*{fig/logowalker.ps}
or inside a figure:
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\scalebox
{0.9} % h_length
{
\includegraphics*{fig/logowalker.ps}
}
\end{center}
\caption{
The caption
}
\label{fig.logowalker}
\end{figure}
The wrapfig and floatfig packages are very cool - they let you wrap figures
around text. Between paragaphs:
\begin{floatingfigure}{7 cm}
\scalebox{0.6}{
\includegraphics*[140,270][450,640]{fig/t7-wt-ex.ps}
}
\caption{Sequence logos for T7 promoters.
Top: wild type promoters \cite{Schneider1986};
bottom: strong T7 promoters found by an
\emph{in vivo} genetic screen \cite{Schneider1989}.
}
\noindent \hrulefill
\label{fig.t7-wt-ex}
\end{floatingfigure}
Wrap figure looks like this:
\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{12cm}
\begin{center}
\rotatebox{-90}{
\scalebox
{0.57} % h_length
{
% Note: the "*" makes the graphic be clipped - this is needed!!
% Guide to Latex p. 168
\includegraphics*[50,110][540,695]{fig/baseflipcover.ps}
}
}
\end{center}
\caption{---http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/LaTeX/AoPS_L_PictMan.php
In this section we'll discuss how you can manipulate images in
.ViewportSpacing Scaling - \scalebox{horizontal factor}[vertical
factor]{item scaled}Resizing - \resizebox{horizontal factor}{vertical
factor}{item resized}Rotating - \rotatebox{angle of rotation}{item
rotated}Reflecting - \reflectbox{item reflected} Centering - \begin{center}
centered items
\end{center} -http://www.xfig.org/userman/latex_and_xfig.html1..
Get LaTeX to change the size of the picture, using either \scalebox or
\resizebox. These are general functions for scaling text or pictures from
the graphics package: A.\scalebox{factor}{object} Will scale the object by
any factor. Factor is just a number (< 1 = reduction; > 1 = enlargement)
Object is normally some text or graphics B.\scalebox{2}{
\input{file.pstex_t} } will scale the picture by 2, dependent on driver (.ps
works, but xdvi wont). Scaling bitmap fonts may produce ugly results, so try
and avoid them! C.\resizebox{width}{ht} {stuff} will resize "stuff" to be of
size width x ht. Using "!" as an argument retains the aspect ratio of the
box. eg \resizebox{5cm}{!}{fat cat} will make "fat cat" appear 5 cm wide,
and suitably high. (From p129, Lamport)

Re: [announce] fifth release of the LyXWinInstaller
Hi, I am trying the complete version on a fresh windows XP, problems: 1. When lyx is running configure.sh, miktex is started to install some additional packages, when I set a miktex mirror site to install it, I got message like 'latex fail (double something I cannot remember)'. 2. When installing aspell, I am told that aspell is installed but I need a language file. But the aspell-xx.exe from the website seems to be full installer. I may be wrong here. 3. After everything is installed, I am told that "Lyx wasn't able to find any package description", and lyx failed. Cheers, Bo

There are two parts to installing C:\Aspell the executable file and the dictionary file for one's native language. In the past they were always separate downloads. 3. Did you install to the default C:\program files\lyx or elsewhere? Tally Ho, Stephen

This ERT is the problem. If you are using ERT you need to understand how
the different LaTeX compilers deal with graphics. AFAIK pdf files can
only be used natively by pdflatex. Use the graphics inset, and LyX will
convert the files for you into a suitable format.
This does not explain why it works on Linux, but I am sure that the
problems will go away if you use the graphics inset.

only three possible cases:

Re: [announce] fifth release of the LyXWinInstaller
> Yes. I will re-try. 1. checking latex configuration -> miktex package installation -> install, and this time no error. Previous error message should be caused by the same 'program files' problem. 2. I am prompted to install packages during configuration, and when I open a document using basic packages like natbib and fancyhdr. Is it possible to install these packages by default? 3. I try to open a file using beamer class. Lyx says beamer class is not found. Despite the fact the miktex can fetch required packages automatically, I have to install beamer manually and then run re-configure. (I am glad to find that beamer.layout is pre-installed.) The ideal way to handle this problem may be: (I know it is non-trivial but the new configure.py should be able to add this feature easily) "lyx try to open a file of unknown class -> lyx calls miktex and let it install this class -> lyx fetch a layout file from some lyx repository (or raise an error saying no layout file) -> lyx recognize this class without re-configuration -> lyx open a file." Anyway, if the 'program files' problem can be fixed, this installer will be quite usable. Thank you! Bo

Otherwise LyX always inserts an additional newline Herbert
