Dear Rachel,
I've had a similar problem. What I have done is force lyx (latex) to use Type I
fonts. To do this, I have in the preamble:
\usepackage{ae}
\usepackage{aecompl}
and prevent Lyx from using the default encoiding "T1" by changing the
lyxrc file in ~/.lyx, as follows:
#\font_encodi
No disrespect to Lamport here, but can I suggest instead "A guide to LaTeX" by
Kopka & Daly? It is newer (1999), includes a lot of stuff that is not in
Lamport's (but in one of the "companions"), its price is about the same as
Lamport's, and I find it easy both to read and use as a reference. I'd
Thanks a lot, Jean-Marc! That seems to fix it (and the ae fonts are also
included in SuSE 6.3).

Hi,
After the suggestions from this list (thanks!) and asking in comp.text.tex I
figured that the low quality printing problem could be solved if I were to use

Dear All,
I deposited my PhD thesis a couple of hours ago, and I wanted to thank the

Intrigued by Ralph's suggestion, I looked around in my linux box, and I found
detex, which can strip off latex code.
This is a way of getting a word coung using both detex and wc in a single call:
detex myfile.tex | wc -w
For detex to work, you might need to change the environment variable TEX

Hi,
I know this is a really dumb question, but its driving me nuts:
how do I get the "o" of degree (say, for celsius, or for latitude)? I was able
to get something like it with a "\circ" as index, but this seems an overkill.
Any simpler ways? I actually think it can be generated with the keyboard
I agree.

Thank you very much to Jean-Marc and Faucheux for their help!! It works (I've

Is there an easy way to change the line spacing in figure captions? I
found I can do that by directly manipulation the Latex file (inserting,

However, is there an easier way to do that in Lyx directly?

I'd like to add one to the list (although I use pybliographer most of

HI,
In a ms. I need to place tables before the figure captions. I have used
table and figure floats, and have the table float in a page of its own before

in them, just the caption). However, when I view the document, th

I asked this a while ago, but didn't get any answers so I'll try again.
I need to number each line of a manuscript (journal requirement). I've been

I am kind of new to both Lyx and Linux, and I am having a small problem
with the quality of the printed files.
I can generate dvi and ps, and print OK. However, when using the
default font (helvetica?), the printed quality of the documents I generate in my
Linux box (tex->dvi->ps) is lower than t
If that doesn't work OK, you might want to try Hevea which, I've been told,

web search using keywords such as Hevea and Linux).

Hi,
How can I display text with a "hanging indent" look for the

under control yet, but I do have a list of references.
I have used the Bibliography environment, but I don't want the
number that is displayed by default.
Doesn't happen here (Linux, suse 6.3) with 1.1.2 either.
