For me (LyX 1.5.4 on OS X), changing the "Screen DPI" setting in Preferences -> Look and feel -> Screen fonts changes the size of the rendered formulas. Set Screen DPI to 200 and you get HUGE rendered formulas. You need to restart LyX for this setting to take effect. I never really understood what this setting is good for, so this might also influence some other things (?). HTH, Konrad

'Boxes' closed at file opening
Hi! I'm an Italian and happy LyX user. I'm so happy that I wrote an italian tutorial, free for download ( http://www.lulu.com/content/2306671). Just a question: is there a way to have all the "boxes" in the working area (ERT, floats, ecc.) closed at file opening? In LyX 1.5.4 (Mac & Win), the ".lyx" file opens with all the boxes expanded. If the document has many of them (particularly float images), I find the text scrolling to be difficult, an "jumpy". Thanks! N.
Bibtex and Lyx
Dear lyx users I have a problem using Bibtex with the last lyx version running under MacOsX Leopard. I have bibliographic databases made with Bibdesk and jabref; they are saved in Bibtex formAT. When i try to insert the bibliography in Lyx under Lists/TOC/Bibliography., and i point in the the dialog box to the path where the databasea are, the files are dimmed, so i can?t open them. If i try the option "all formts" i open the file but it becames empty. So when i try cite, the citation appear, but when i do a DVI preview the citation is a ? mark and nothing about bibliography. My only chance is the manual method. Is anything wrong, or is this a bug of Lyx?. Thanks for your help Antonio Botelho Portugal
Moderncv cls and font problems
Hello
How can I change the preamble and sections fonts of moderncv class?
How can I expand the area in the upper right of the first page to accommodate
more stuff? I have read the the
http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/ModernCVClassIssues but there is nothing
relevant in my files...
I use 2007 moderncv class and seems to be quite different from the old one.
I use 1.5.4 LyX both in linux and windows using texlive & miketex. The problem
is the same.
Finally when I change the name from English to Greek then it is displayed with
Latin and not Greek characters.
If I use in the preamble \textgreek{} to convert the Latin fonts to Greek then
the letters are very strange and they totally different from the selected
text in the main document.
Any help will be greatly appreciated... I have lost about a week with that :)

My guess is that your bibliographical databases are not saved with the .bib extension. That would explain why the files are dimmed in the dialog and why, once you force LyX to recognize them, BibTeX nonetheless doesn't. If that's right, simply add ".bib" to the appropriate files and it should work. If not, look in the LaTeX Log for error messages (Document > LaTeX Log), and if you don't understand them, post them to the list for further help. Bennett

They worked as expected, I mean.. the master document behaves rightly
with that code, it looks like at the preview dvi is just what we wanted,
indeed.
So, I stated to _compare_ de "Document settings" from yours (the test)
and mine (the real work) point by point, I didn't see any relevant
difference (both book-style,etc.) but I was getting the same result; I
even got to change everything in yours settings (latexdefault->utf8,
Italian->Spanish, default page margins -> mines, etc...) and nothing.
Then I caught it. My God! The chapter string of your two child documents
were written in lower case letters, that was all A little detail
that was there always present and I was unable to notice until several
hours after. My right headers show upper case letters because I
intentionally write the string of each chapter name in
upper-case-letters..., yaaah. ;-)
Well, I don't know whether it could be true that with LaTeX no
everything can be possible, those two things particularly here, but if I
have to choose, I PREFER _chapter names in upper case letters, at the
beginning of each (child) document despite the right header have to come
with upper case letters too_, THAN chapter names in lower case letters,
which dislikes me*, just in order to get lower case letters in the
headers.
* Into these kind of materials I'm working right now (much long
chapters).

That was absolutely great! I caught it at first try because your example
files, if not I were put them just before the string of the chapter (as
really did firstly), where they don't work. It must be placed at a
previous line (with the "normal" style chosen), as you showed me. :-)

Thank you very much, Filippo.
With this one, I've got satisfied more or less the questions that arose

I just can't understand your hate for lowercase chapter names --
even if chapters are very long :). Anyway, the best I can do is the
following:
replace:
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{#1}{}}
with:
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{\lowercase{#1}}{}}
But this makes *all* characters in lower case, even the first one --
which probably makes this solution not suitable to your needs.
If someone knew how to handle strings (in particular, characters
arrays) in LaTeX, it would be easy to get a *definitive* solution
for your problem. I never heard about this possibility, but I'm sure
something must exist.

Bibtex In-Text-Citations Problem
Hello, I don't know if the following is a Lyx problem or a Bibtex-style problem. I have created my own .bst file using makebst. Nearly everthing works as expected but there's one little thing that I can't figure out: It's concerning the formatting of in-text-citations. Such citations should appear in the form Author(year) or (Author, year). This works. But when I cite two different works of the same author citations should appear in the form Author(year1, year2) or (Author, year1, year2). While the second alternative appears as expected the first appears as Author(year1; year2) with a semicolon (but I want semicolons only between different authors). I haven't found anything within makebst to change this or do I have to choose some special ERT-formatting in Lyx? I have attached the .bst and the .dbj file.

No need to worry about MacTeX with upgrading LyX: it *should* just work. (Make sure you run the LyX/Mac installer, though.) If you have problems with upgrading LyX, most likely they can be worked around by moving aside your LyX user's directory (~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5) and restarting LyX. If you upgrade MacTeX, it's possible (depending on the versions of LyX and TeX you currently have) that LyX won't know where your new installation of MacTeX is. Upgrading LyX should solve that.

You'll need to be more clear. The 2007 roll-up of moderncv is the latest one
and the one that was used in constructing the Wiki page. So, we're on the
same page with that. What do you mean by "there is nothing relevant" in your
files? Clearly you have to have the package installed and the class and
style files present. That's all you need. I'm guessing you just need to
figure out where your TeX distribution files are located?? On my XP machine
they're here:

No need to worry about MacTeX with upgrading LyX: it *should* just work. (Make sure you run the LyX/Mac installer, though.) If you have problems with upgrading LyX, most likely they can be worked around by moving aside your LyX user's directory (~/Library/ Application Support/LyX-1.5) and restarting LyX. If you upgrade MacTeX, it's possible (depending on the versions of LyX and TeX you currently have) that LyX won't know where your new installation of MacTeX is. Upgrading LyX should solve that. Bennett Worked like a charm. Thanks, Bennett.

I was not clear. If we use moderncv we have to define the name, address etc in
the preamble.
The problem is if that you don't use enlish then the name etc are not
displayed properly.
Further, the name, address and sections fonts are different from the main body
of the CV. Probably, we have to change some parameters in order to change
that fonts but there is no manual for moderncv to explain the procedure.

Both my texlive (ver 2007) and MiKTeX 2.7 systems have the following files
for moderncv class:
moderncv.cls, moderncvcompatibility.sty, moderncvthemecasual.sty,
moderncvthemeclassic.sty, moderncvthemeempty.sty
Therefore there is no moderncvthemeclassichack.sty file I searched the net
for that file but I could not find anything, so it should be misspelled.
Then, I searched the files in my system for \moderncvtheme[blue, roman]
{classic} and I could not find something and I thought the LyX wiki was an
old one.

Maybe there is a more elegant way, but the first thing that comes to
my mind is putting this into a math box:
\underline{\qquad\qquad\qquad}
You can replace \qquad with any other kind of math (or non-math)
spaces, in order to achieve the desired length.

Hi, Just wondering if someone could help on this issue: Is there a way to configure LyX so that when I double-click on an area in Yap it brings me to that line in LyX? Right now, when I double-click in Yap, it comes up with: "MiKTeX Problem Report: The source file could not be opened because the page contains no source links." Thanks, Ed Sykes

Not sure it is the most elegant way, but typing
\rule{3cm}{0.4pt}
in an "TeX code" box (created with Ctrl-L) should do the trick.

Of course, because it is the same command that I used. The scheme is

I meant you can use the underscore keyboard key multiple times as you already have don to writ the

Sorry, I meant:

in a math box.
And that's definitely the most elegant way of doing it. In my

That's strange.

No, I don't believe it's a bug. Sometimes (especially the first time) you reconfigure LyX it can take quite awhile (you probably just weren't quite patient enough :-}). I've had to wait upwards of 5min or more. Sometimes restarting helps Windoze. Cheers, /Bob

Maybe there's a more efficient way, but this should work.
\def\spezza#1#2\endname{\gdef\prima{#1}\gdef\RESTO{#2}}
\def\minuscolizza#1\endname{\lowercase{\gdef\resto{#1}}}
\def\maiuscolizza#1\endname{\uppercase{\gdef\prima{#1}}}
\def\capitalize#1{%

\expandafter\maiuscolizza\prima\endname%
\prima\resto}

\capitalize{pippo}

Yes, but you have to use the Cygwin version of LyX.

You have to change the LaTeX->DVI converter in Tools->Preferences->Converters
to "latex -src-specials $$i". As an alternative to redefining the converter,
you can put "\usepackage[active]{srcltx}" in the preamble of the LyX file.
Now, in the View->Options menu in yap, under the "Inverse DVI Search" tab,
set the path to the batch file lyxeditor.bat below. Enter something like
"C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\lyxeditor.bat %f %l"
This 2-line batch file is a wrapper for the lyxeditor.sh bash script which
does the real work and that you also find pasted below (put both files in
/usr/local/bin and make sure that they are executable).
-8<-8<- lyxeditor.bat -8<-8<-8<-
@echo off
c:\cygwin\bin\bash /usr/local/bin/lyxeditor.sh %1 %2

Lyx crash with unknown reason
Hello all, Every time I tried to open a lyx file, or even new a file, lyx crashed. I was wondering if lyx keeps log file somewhere on my computer so that I can find what is going wrong?

Can't help you on either of these, although I'm still not clear what you're
after with the fonts.

Right. The Wiki page says that you need to copy the moderncvthemeclassic.sty
file and rename it (to ...hack.sty - or whatever other name you prefer),
then make the suggested changes.

The .tex file that you export from LyX will have something like this in the
document class declaration.

Fwd: Bibtex and Lyx

LyX should copy your .bib files to the same temporary directory where it creates the .tex file, and BibTeX should find them there. I don't know why it's not. I also don't understand why you're having the problems you are with inserting a bibliography. Anyone else have any ideas? Bennett
How to make a title page?
Hi all, How can I make a title page for report? Normally, there should be a title, author, logo and date at the foot of the title page. Can I generate a separate lyx file for the title page and include my report lyx file within it? Is there a customized layout file to do that? Thanks a lot! HZ

Hi, rh: I am a rookie in using gdb. Can you elaborate on how to "backtrace"?
