Help/advice appreciated. A fix to this problem was committed to the next version (1.5.3). Meanwhile a simple fix is to change the file by hand. Where it says (in the first lines of the file) \language default change it to \language english As I said this problem is already fixed in svn. This is just a shortcut in the meanwhile. > Chris Menzel -- José Abílio

Yes, Hoefler Text is (so far) the only reason for me to use
XeTeX. I tried to put the command in my preamble but got an error:
LaTeX Error: File `gtamachoefler.sty' not found.
Then I installed the latest MacTeX package, reconfigured LyX
but I still get the same error message. What can I do?
If you don't have this gtamachoefler.sty, download it from
somewhere.
Not as a part of the latest MacTex, but as a separate package.
But it *is* a part of the latest MacTeX; it can be found at:
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/gtamacfonts/
gtamachoefler.sty
Well, that's strange, I've got a /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/
tex/latex folder but apart from another "local"-folder (which is
empty) inside it, that folder is empty, too. So not "gtamacfonts"
folder whatsoever. Indeed, Spotlight can't find any folder with
that name either.
Just a stupid question: it does not have to do anything with me
not running an admin user, does it? Nor did I use an
administrators account to install MacTeX...
Doesn't the MacTeX installer require an administrative password to
work? (Otherwise it wouldn't be able to write files to /usr/local.)
If you really installed the latest MacTeX -- available here:
TeXLive rpm packages available to Fedora 8 users
Hi, For those of us running Fedora 8 it's now easy to install TeXLive (the replacement to the no longer maintained teTeX) thanks to Red Hat's Jindrich Novy. As part of the work he's doing for the upcoming Fedora 9 Jindrich has released RPMs which are available at his personal page in a repository which can be activated as detailed here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureTexLive#head-694fe23a06614cef1588905ead64d7f2cf9edd74 Best wishes, Oisin Feeley

I keep going back and forth between wanting printouts to look "finished" or "public" and wanting printouts to be editable drafts. The only solution at the moment is to select every single note (there are dozens) and change them from "greyed out" or whatever to "comment" or whatever. Did you look at using branches? The other possibility would be a bit of ERT that resets greyed out things to comments, or whatever. I don't know what the source code is here, but something along these lines: \let\greyedout=\comment, is what I have in mind. rh -- == Richard G Heck, Jr Professor of Philosophy Brown University http://frege.brown.edu/heck/ == Get my public key from http://sks.keyserver.penguin.de Hash: 0x1DE91F1E66FFBDEC Learn how to sign your email using Thunderbird and GnuPG at: http://dudu.dyn.2-h.org/nist/gpg-enigmail-howto
disabling microtype for lyxcode
I noticed that my formatted text in a lyxcode environments didn't line up
even though it was the fixed face.
This was caused by using the microtype package.
Using microtype shortens my 603 page book to 599 pages.
I am curious if there is any way to disable it just for my lyxcode
environments?
I see \microtypesetup{expansion=false} but I don't know much about
activate and protrusion and expansion.
Any ideas?
Or I can just keep microtype disabled.

p.s. If anyone is available to quickly give feedback on my cover ideas or
book layout, please let me know.
Re: Edit complete source?

What people call "round-trip" source view doesn't yet exist, though many people would like to see it. It's possible it'll be implemented before too long, but there are non-trivial obstacles to be overcome before then. In a way, all the pieces exist: We can import LaTeX using tex2lyx. But the problem is that, at the moment, tex2lyx isn't really integrated into LyX; it's a standalone utility. And even if it were integrated into LyX, tex2lyx isn't always terribly reliable. Those, as I understand things, are the main issues. The main issue as I see it is that some people have the hope that writing raw latex will allow them to get almost native support for things that LyX does not support yet. If one does not like the kind of code that LyX outputs, I do not see how it could be possible to modify it and hop that LyX will stick to this new form of writing. I'd like to hear about reasonable use cases. One possible example: I had a document in which I wanted an equation array with non-default column alignments. I could not find any way to do this in LyX (which might just mean I missed something obvious -- but I posted the question here and got no responses). So I exported a LaTeX file and edited it outside LyX. That's fine, but suppose that I want to modify the document (in LyX) in the future while retaining that change. I don't need LyX to display the equation array with the tweaked alignment, but I do want to be able to use LyX's math editing features on it (meaning that I do not want to convert it to ERT), and I'm not sure whether importing the LaTeX file will preserve the change and still produce a math inset v. ERT (I have not tried this). This is probably not exactly what the original requester had in mind, but it might be an application of a round-trip edit feature. /Paul

Re: problems with references, apsrev
Jennifer Brookes wrote:
Hi,
I am using the document class REVTeX4 to write an article and JabRef to
write my references. JabRef writes bitex code that I can insert into
lyx. I have been using apsrev as the style to insert my references which
seems fine, except the second initials of authors never seem to come out
right. For example:
@ARTICLE{PRL,
author = {J.C. Brookes and F. Hartoutsiou and A.P. Horsfield and A.M.
Stoneham},
title = {Could humans recognize odor by phonon assisted tunneling?},
journal = {Physics Review Letters},
year = {2007},
volume = {98},
pages = {038101},
owner = {Jennifer},
timestamp = {2007.04.14}
}
in the .bib file, put when I export my document to .pdf I get:
[1] J.C Brookes and F. Hartoutsiou and A. Horsfield and A. Stoneham
where the P and M are missing. If I try something like plainnat as the
style, there is no problem, i.e.
[1] J.C. Brookes and F. Hartoutsiou and A.P. Horsfield and A.M. Stoneham
Except the sorting of the numbers goes all haywire and they appear
alphabetically not numerically.
Please can anyone help?
Many thanks
Jenny
Try putting a space between first and middle initial in the .bib
entries. I think that BibTeX (or at least the apsrev style) interprets
"A.P." as a first name and abbreviates it as "A." I'm not sure why it
would not do that with "J.C." -- it's consistent about reducing two
initials without an intervening space to one on a test document of mine,
including the first author.
Cheers,
Paul
