greek characters
The following LyX setup
document->settings-> language->encoding type'traditional
(auto-selected)'
yields the expected pdf view, showing greek character \pi
(by the way, where do the line appearing on top come from? )
while setting
document->settings-> language->encoding type'Unicode (utf8)'
exporting to pdf yields:
LaTeX Error: Unicode character π (U+03C0)

you don't want the line.
I couldn't reproduce your problem. The π shows up correctly in the PDF
for me regardless of the encoding I choose.
What are you trying to do? If you're using Greek letters in a math
context, you do not need to change the encoding. Just enter math mode
(see Help>Math) and type \pi, \alpha, \tau, etc. along with all the
other math stuff you need. LyX out-of-the-box default settings will
make it show up correctly.

Works for me as well. I wonder if this has anything to do with the TeX
installation. I'm using TeXLive (2023.20240207-1).

2.4.2.1 exits on Mac Sequoia 15.0.1 Intel but not Silicon
Hi, I upgraded my intel mac laptop to 15.0.1 (quitting LyX before restarting the machine) and when I open LyX or a LyX document now it opens and closes immediately. When I do that on the command line it shows the following qt.qpa.fonts: Populating font family aliases took 399 ms. Replace uses of missing font family "Serif" with one that exists to avoid this cost. The fonts warning I have on the Silicon machine too and for a while now. Server.cpp (1016): LyX is already running in another instance and 'use single instance' is active. However, LyX is NOT running (pax aux|grep -i lyx) shows nothing. If I do this on the Silicon with LyX running I get the same error and if it is not, I don't and LyX starts as intended. Any idea where I can look? And how? Can I turn 'single instance' off somewhere/somehow? greetings, el -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

We have been treated to many great releases of Lyx, and 2.4 was really impressive. But for me personally, this release made all the difference. A few years ago I bought a diminutive "surface go" in order to work with lyx while travelling light. It did work, but it was so slow that sometimes I would type whole words, which would only appear on screen after I had finished typing them. It would be worse when I also deleted a character in between as due to the lag something else could be deleted. I lived with it because I love LyX and I could not think of any alternative hardware which would have been equally small but powerful enough. 2.4.2 changed this experience completely. Now hitting a key on this little thing has instantaneous effect on the screen. even though I am using.a machine which would have been considered slow more than 10 years ago. To me 2.4.2 is a change like day and night. Dear Marcus, Thanks a lot for your feedback. It is this kind of comments that makes our work worth it. I am very happy that this performance work was useful to at least one person. I was worried that it came too late and that nobody would have the machines that make the changes useful: on my correct but 5+ years old machines, the changes make no difference. Now, if you can tell me what is still slow, we might be able to improve the situation a bit more! Have fun with LyX, JMarc -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

And how? Probably the LyX pipes (the names are per default .lyxpipe.in and .lyxpipe.out in folder ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-2.4) are present. They shouldn’t if LyX is not running.

Re: LyX 2.4.2 Released
Dear developers
I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how much I appreciate this
release. We have been treated to many great releases of Lyx, and 2.4 was
really impressive. But for me personally, this release made all the difference.
A few years ago I bought a diminutive "surface go" in order to work with lyx
while travelling light. It did work, but it was so slow that sometimes I would
type whole words, which would only appear on screen after I had finished typing
them. It would be worse when I also deleted a character in between as due to
the lag something else could be deleted. I lived with it because I love LyX
and I could not think of any alternative hardware which would have been equally
small but powerful enough. 2.4.2 changed this experience completely. Now
hitting a key on this little thing has instantaneous effect on the screen. even
though I am using.a machine which would have been considered slow more than 10
years ago. To me 2.4.2 is a change like day and night.
Many, many thanks, Marcus
