Final note, If you are running stable, there is a package called task-tex, which should give you a working system. i.e. apt-get install task-tex This doesn't exist in the unstable branch. Rod On Tue, 11 Dec 2001, Rod Pinna wrote: > > Actually, looking at the psnfss do

One thing, in twoside mode, the geometry package puts in an extra 20pt spacing, to allow for binding. Page 9 of the documentation explains it. To get around it, you need to specify margins that aren't equal, or else invoke the package in the preamble, rather than through the button. Rod On Mon,

Mr Masters, I currently use LyX on a debian potato system, without too many problems. Have you installed all the debian tetex packages? This includes tetex-extra, and tetex-nonfree, as well as tetex-base. If that doesn't help, telling people which packages are coming up as missing might give us

To get rid of the markers in the text, use the option [nomarkers], and to remove the figure or table lists, use [nofiglist] and [notablist]. [nolists] gets rid of both lists. eg. \usepackage[nolists,nomarkers]{endfloat} The page with the [figure X should go here] is meant to show the approxima

Just a comment on VMWare. I've used it under Windows NT for awhile now, just so I can have Linux at work. (I'm not doing it the other way around, as there was no way I would have been allowed to have Linux as the primary OS). I've found it offers a very good solution. The speed has been fine. T

Hello all, Mea Culpa. Well, sort of. The format of {\a{a}} doesn't work. Oddly, it works for {\"{u}} though. Not sure where I picked it up. Changing it to {\aa} provided the solution, which now quite happily uses T1 encoding. Sorry 'bout that, Rod On Fri, 19 Jan 2001,

Hi all, A latex problem I suspect, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I want to use {\a{a}} in an author name in bibtex, however, when I view the postscript file, I get an error about the character not being available in the T1 encoding. It appears that lyx uses the T1 encoding as a default.

gs is ghostscript, the postscript processor. For some reason, it occasionally keeps running, after it should be killed. When that happens, the easiest way to deal with it is to simply kill it. Run top to get the process id, and either kill it in top, or exit top and use kill -9 pid where pid i

Hello all, Just had a quick look at the new release. A small bug seems to have crept in. I can't access the "look & feel" and "language opts" menus. Instead, clicking on those brings up the "screen fonts" and "language" menus respectively. I'm using xforms 0.89, which comes with debian potato.

For going from jpeg to ps, the best option is a program called jepg2ps. The embeds the bitmap into a postscript file, along with a small converter, written in postscript. Usually only adds a few k to the file size. Rod On Wed, 5 Jul 2000, Rachel Greenham wrote: > Fred C wrote: > > > > Didn't
