Below you'll find the following sections: \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Some basic details about your LaTeX installation. In particular, you should make sure that your version of LaTeX is recent enough. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Some common fonts that LyX knows about. This is rather sparse at the moment. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate The document classes that should be standard on any LaTeX implementation. This section is only here for completeness. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Some optional document classes that LyX knows about. If one of these is marked as missing (the \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Found \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset item is no) and you need its functionality, you can grab it at your nearest CTAN ftp site \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Standard The participating hosts in the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network are: \end_layout \begin_layout LyX-Code ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive \end_layout \begin_layout LyX-Code ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive \end_layout \begin_layout LyX-Code ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There are also a zillion mirror sites which are listed at the three primary sites. \end_layout \end_inset at the location indicated in the \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset CTAN \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset item. Note that only detected document classes can be selected as document layouts in LyX. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Some packages that LyX use when you try to change the margins of your document. The detection of these items does not yet affect the options available inside LyX. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Some common LaTeX packages that you might need with LyX, and you might also want to add to your LaTeX installation. The detection of these items does not yet affect the options available inside LyX. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Different required external programs that LyX relies on. LyX to a large extent relies on other programs to do it's work, and some programs are required for LyX to be useful. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Different optional external programs that LyX can interact with. All of these are optional, and some you would want more than others. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Note that most of these packages will be available if you use a modern TeX distribution such as teTeX. If you decide to install one of the missing items, you should tell LyX about it. After the installation, please use the menu entry \family sans \bar under O \bar default ptions\SpecialChar \menuseparator \bar under R \bar default econfigure \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Standard or, if you want to change the system-wide settings, issue the command \family typewriter ./configure \family default from the LyX system directory (by default \family typewriter /usr/local/lib/lyx/ \family default ) \end_layout \end_inset and reload this file to see if the new package was recognized. If the \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Found \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset items read \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset ??? \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset , it means that LyX could not do the inventory of your LaTeX configuration for some reason. If you are using teTeX, it might be that the new package you installed is not found. This is because you forgot to run the command \family typewriter texhash \family default , which tells teTeX to update its own configuration. \end_layout \begin_layout Section LaTeX version currently in use \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The LaTeX version that LyX will use is: \family typewriter @chk_fmtversion@ \family default . Note that, for best results, you should be using at least LaTeX release \family typewriter 1995/12/01 \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Standard In case it is not clear to you, this number is the date at which the version has been released. \end_layout \end_inset . In fact, earlier versions may work for many things, but will certainly fail in some cases. We feel that it is better to stick to a minimal version than try to work around all the quirks of older ones. \end_layout \begin_layout Section Fonts \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection EC fonts \end_layout \begin_layout Description Found: @chk_ec@ \end_layout \begin_layout Description CTAN: \family typewriter fonts/ec \end_layout \begin_layout Description Notes: LaTeX does not require the use of \family sans ec \family default fonts, however they are strongly recommended. The \family sans ec \family default fonts are available in a more natural range of sizes and allow better hyphenati on and kerning than the old fonts such as \family sans cmr10 \family default . If you already have the so-called \family sans dc \family default fonts installed, please upgrade to the \family sans ec \family default fonts, which replace them. They are used automatically if LyX determines that you have them installed. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection psnfss \end_layout \begin_layout Description Found: @chk_psnfss@ \end_layout \begin_layout Description CTAN: \family typewriter macros/latex/packages/psnfss/ \end_layout \begin_layout Description Notes: The package \family sans psnfss \family default allows you to change the fonts used by LyX to one of the 35 classical fonts available on PostScript® printers. Currently, the support for \family sans psnfss \family default is limited in LyX: you can only chose a few combinations of PostScript® fonts in \family sans \size normal Layout->Document \family default \size default . \end_layout \begin_layout Section Standard LaTeX document classes \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The document classes presented in this section are the basic document classes provided by LaTeX. In particular, they are all present on your system as long as LaTeX2e is installed.

You also need to install the fonts from the \family sans chess.sty \family default package, but leave out the \family sans chess.sty \family default style itself since it's meant for older versions of LaTeX only. \end_layout \begin_layout Section Required external programs \end_layout \begin_layout Standard LyX is eager to invoke external programs to do some work. In line with the Unix tradition, LyX tries to exploit existing programs before implementing the same thing itself. Over time, LyX is able to interact with an increasing number of both command line and interactive applications, and this to a large degree explains why LyX is succesful. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Note: if you use a Linux distribution, such as RedHat or Debian, most of these packages should be available as custom packages for the relevant system, and you might have most of it installed already. And most Unix systems will at least have LaTeX, although it may be a braindead version. Please check what you have before you go download the lot. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection teTeX \end_layout \begin_layout Description Found: @chk_tetex@ \end_layout \begin_layout Description URL: \begin_inset LatexCommand \url[The teTeX Homepage]{http://www.tug.org/tetex/} \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Description Notes: teTex is a LaTeX distribution.
