This effectively makes the horizontal size policy "minimum", which
makes it clear that there is no advantage for this widget of
increasing the horizontal size past the minimum, allowing other
GUI elements to use the horizontal space if useful.
This change for caseCB is consistent with wordsCB and searchbackCB.
This can happen when a macro is copied and then the document where
it is defined is closed. In this case, the macro survives in the
cut stack but the the buffer pointer is dangling.
Now the minibuffer toolbar is "auto" by default. It is opened by
command-execute (M-x) and closed when the command is executed without error.
* make lyx::dispatch return a DispatchResult struct
* there is a new MINIBUFFER type of toolbar, that can be used for this use.
* remove special handling of M-x in minnibuffer; Escape can be used instead. Fix focus in this case.
* when minibuffer toolbar is "auto", make the toolbar close itself after
- a command has been executed without error
- an empty command has been executed
- the Escape key has been used
The 'using namespace std' at the top of the file makes it quite difficult to
understand which abs is used: double std::abs<double>(double) or
int ::abs(int)? Now it is explicit, and the code does not change in subtle
ways if somebody removes the using statement.
The horizontal size policy is now set to "MinimumExpanding", which
means that sizeHint() is enforced as a minimum, but that the widget
can make use of extra available space.
Before, the size policy was ignored, and often resulted in a
scrunched pane that had to have its size manually increased.
The symptom of the bug is that the preference could be incorrectly
displayed (based on the value of the statusbar preference).
This seems to have been a copy/paste mistake introduced in 214f7ed2.
The MacroData pointer is updated by MathData::metrics() which is not
called when selecting a math inset with instant preview for math on.
Thus, we have to update it in the copy constructor otherwise a crash
is almost assured when hitting Ctrl+C.
If latex fails to generate any output, the forked process was not removed.
Now, if a snippet was changed a new one was started but, if also the zoom was
changed, things went awry because the 2 concurrent processes were asked to
process again the same snippet. Previously this would have simply caused a
waste of resources because the changed snippet would have not been regenerated.
Also reset the guard due to the early exit.
If the zoom factor is changed right while the previews are being
regenerated, the refreshPreviews() method is a no-op. So, reschedule
the refresh until everything is ready.
Relying on the fact that the timer is not active anymore does not
guarantee that the previews at the correct zoom are ready because
the regeneration process may take several seconds and during this
time the zoom factor may be changed again. So, we need an additional
guard for assuring that everything has settled down.
We only look once for the definition of the same macro, but we have
to always check its arguments when the same macro appears more than
once in a math inset. So, move earlier this check.
The strategy adopted in bc47054b had some drawbacks related to the way
instant preview snippets are generated. See the subthread starting at
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg187916.html
for details.
The strategy adopted in this commit is that of adding macro definitions
only for the macros actually used in a preview snippet, independently
of whether some macro was already used in a previous snippet. In this way
the snippets don't need to be changed according to whether they are
compiled as a whole or separately from each other. This fact was causing
the regeneration of a preview snippet whenever the cursor entered the
corresponding inset, even if the generated image would have not changed.
The problem of defining or redefining a macro is taken care by the
python scripts.
Unfortunately I overlooked in 44f73b0650 that the first three whitespace
changes in box-color-size-space-align.lyx.lyx were actually correct, so they
should not have been reverted. In detail:
1), 2): The space after \raggedleft must not be part of the ERT inset, but it
is ouput by check_space() as part of the standard text which follows.
3): The space in front of www is caused by the fact that there is a
newline between the opening brace of the parbox and the \centering
command, so this space is not the one after \centering (which is
correctly swallowed). This additional space is in fact not needed,
and the contents would look better in LyX without it, but since it is
not caused by special code I'll put it back in the refernce for now.
We can still improve this in the future if anybody has a good idea.
The remaining whitespace issues are all fixed by a simple change in
parse_text(): Instead of always eating whitespace after detecting \centering
et al, and always output a space as part of the ERT if these commands need an
ERT, let the standard space handling mechanism kick in: skip whitespace if
no ERT is used (in this case LyX will always output the needed space), and
do not touch whitespace if an ERT is used.
The FIXME is not needed, this is how StyleChanger and FracChanger work:
In the constructor, they change the state of the FontInfo, and in the
destructor the state is set back. Therefore, all code that needs the changed
state, needs to be executed while the objects do still exist.
Until now the regeneration process was starting as soon as the zoom scale
factor was changed. This was causing some glitches, especially if the zoom
was changed by the mouse wheel, as on each change the process was started
again and again making zoom changes painful and causing races such that
one could end up with the text at some zoom factor and the previews at
another one. After this commit, the regeneration is started only after
the zoom factor has been stable for about 1 second. In this way, one can
use the mouse wheel for changing back and forth the zoom factor at own's
heart desire without any slow down due to the regeneration process running
in the background. For those using previews with numbered math equations,
a nice possibility for getting the equations correctly numbered in sequence
(after removing or adding an equation) is using the shortcuts Alt+ and Alt-
in rapid sequence (less than a second between the keystrokes). Previously,
this would have triggered twice the regeneration, but now only once.
Currently, insets are notified that the cursor entered or leaved them in Cursor::dispatch. This is not the cas efor lfuns which are handled in BufferView.
Adding the proper code allows to fix many bugs where previews are not updated correctly.
This also reverts cf4f79f8, which was the same fix for a particular case.
Fixes bug #6173.
Other than checking that we are at the beginning of a paragraph,
we must also check that this is not the first paragraph before
triggering the code that removes the inset separator. This accounts
for the case that we are dissolving an inset from the inside.
Without this additonal check the old code was fooled into thinking
that the separator should have been removed.
The removed code was introduced at [c668ebf6/lyxgit] to assure that
an inset separator in the last position of a paragraph was getting
removed when hitting backspace with the cursor at the beginning of
the next paragraph. Apparently, it is not needed anymore and can
be removed. This avoids the reported assertion.
As JMarc notes on the ML, the referenced commit modifies a full
buffer just in the middle of a dispatch action.
Further, this commit lead to an assertion [1], although it is not
clear to me whether the root cause of the assertion is the commit
that is being reverted here, or one of the issues we have with
previews and macros.
This reverts commit 73460423ad.

Actually, the change is done only if the cursor language was the
document language already.
This fixes an trivial but annoying problem: create a new file (in
English), change language to your favourite language, then start to
write. Before this fix, the words come out in English, which does not
make sense.
Fixes bug #9586.
This is for people who cannot grasp the superior conventions of emacs ;)
A new argument "partial" has been added to word-upcase, word-lowcase
and word-capitalize that restores the old emacs-like behavior.
The (x)emacs bindings are updated to use the "partial" argument, and
also to bind correctly M-u and M-l (M-c is unfortunately not
available).
Fixes bug #2826.
* Provide for vector fonts only if needed.
* Make sure microtype doesn't throw a trantum in dvi mode.
* Use correct macro definition in preview insets.
if a specific one (such as en_NZ-v2.idx) is not found.
If someone can replace the rather clumsy code by an elegant regexp
(I failed to find one), this is most welcome!
These should not have been done without discussion.
- Removal of the dcolumn table in 1a8b74f5e1. Even if LyX does not support
dcolumn anymore, it is still a useful test whether tex2lyx imports it
correctly.
- Removal of the first "%% LyX" line. A long time ago it was decided (after
long discussion between at least Jean-Marc, Uwe and me), that this line is
interpreted by tex2lyx, and used to remove some LyX-generated preamble code.
These lines in the current tests exist on purpose (one can see in the diff
how the removal added unwanted stuff). I do not really like the
interpretation of the "%% LyX" line, but if this behaviour is to be changed
then this needs discussion first.
- Changed comment of \date. The comment was put there on purpose, and the
warning which was "fixed" by the change hints at a limitation in LyX, not a
tex2lyx problem (LyX does not know that a comment inset between some title
insets is OK). The roundtrip .tex output was OK with the old version.
- Change of \verbatiminput{foo}. This was supposed to test whether a
verbatim inset is correctly created even if the included file does not
exist.
- Removal of \lyxlines. Although these tests test input of files created by
old LyX versions, they are useful.
- Change of the lemma in test-modules.tex. The old version was put there on
purpose, and the file itself explains why it is translated to ERT.
The recipe for reproducing this crash is to do a search and replace
that changes a string present in a collapsed inset, and then undo.
This is a followup to 17e435c4, which used editable() instead of
isActive(); this commit was amended at c2f785bd, since editable() is
not set properly in mathed.
Truth is, editable() is not the right property to test against, since
it is false for a collapsed inset, which does not prevent a cursor
from pointing inside. Therefore sanitize should not change the cursor
in this case.
Hopefuly, this is the last word on the subject. Alternative would be
to drop this if()-clause completely.
The documents saved to the system directory have now the origin tag
prefix "/systemlyxdir/". This allows both saving them always using
the same virtual path irrespective of the real path and to let the
origin tag work out of the box also on MacOS.
There is a general problem of tex2lyx handling theorems. it is not sufficient to cure only one instance as I did. For more info see bug #9561.
Update the references accordingly.
With the now removed command we said that this is a file created by LyX but this is not the case
- also replace a comment to avoid LaTeX warnings about mixing title and non-title stuff
before LyX 2.1 was released the dcolumn support was dropped and another method was used to align at the decimal point. Nevertheless the old LaTeX table was even wrong in terms of dcolumn
Now a table is used that uses the decimal alignment as it is supported by LyX
The idea is to get a compilable file that does not require programs that are only available on certain platforms.
For example on Windows there is no Gnumeric available (only a very outdated and unsupported version with bugs).
there were 2 issues:
- the body was not output to the Preamble
- the theorem module already defines a theorem. It must not be output to the preamble to avoid a redefinition error of LaTeX
update the test files accordingly
Since lyX 2.0 we support to use the in_preamble tag. This allows to support more commands. For an unknown reason I forgot the jss.layout when I updated the other layouts once.
Fileformat change
A new preference is introduced for allowing the record of the document
directory path in the saved file. Without explicit consent, it is not saved.
If the origin tag contains an invalid/wrong path or garbage, LyX behaves
exactly as before, i.e., included files are simply not found.
Create new helper class UndoGroupHelper, which simplifies a lot the
handling of undo groups in cases like this one. The class tracks open
undo buffers and allows to switch buffers transparently.
Using the class for advanced search and replace is trivial. THe class
may be useful in some other classes.
Fixes ticket #8658
Add a new tag HasGuiSupport to language file. Add it for all l10ns
that we currently ship. The po files that are unused are not currently
tagged as available, but this could be done, since the code later
checks that the translation is actually there.
This new information is used in GuiPrefs when populating the language
combox.
The new scheme implies that adding a new language is now a two-step
process:
* the language code has to be added to po/LINGUAS, as before;
* one of the entries of the lib/language file has to be selected as
reference and be given the "HasGuiSupport true" property.
This leads to better compatibility with e.g. arXiv.
As Jürgen notes, it is also possible to override this automatic
empty pdfborderstyle via the Additional Options.
Patch by Julien Rioux.
The cleanup in 11ca1406 was not correct. It is actually not possible to implement recordUndoInset from the undo API, since the cursor may not be at a different level than the text to be saved.
Fixes ticket #9553
This replaces tests for __cplusplus >= 201103L, which are wrong with gcc 4.6 and earlier. Indeed these versions of gcc define __cplusplus = 1.

LaTeX lengths must not use scientific notation, since the + sign has a
different meaning (glue lengths). This is the GUI part of bug 9416,
on top of part 1 [59e4d16ab/lyxgit].
\framebox{} is equal to \fbox{} and \makebox{} is equal to \mbox{}
When I once wrote this code LyX did not support \fbbox and \mbox and therefore had to use a workaround.
- the idea is to color the box inset frame according to the fame color of the box (if there is any). To keep the WYSIWYM principle the frame thickness and box separation are not taken into account. However this should be possible if anybody would like that.
- besides this, use the correct conversion command for the background color
The math parser could not handle multicolumn grids. This is a problem because
there is no true ERT in math (everything is parsed).
Now multicolumn cells are parsed correctly. The display is also somewhat OK,
but apart from that any multicolumn related UI is missing. Since the file
format change is now done the UI can be added at any later point. The most
important part of bug 396 is now fixed: tex2lyx does not create invalid .lyx
files anymore for formulas containing \multicolumn.
I updated the tex2lyx test cases that produce correct output. tex2lyx does
still produce invalid output for the test cases which are not updated because
of the previous format change.
There were now 2 entries named "none" in backgroundcolorCO
- delete the fixmes; the LateX name is used as parameter to save unnecessary conversions for the LateX output; please ask me before adding fixmes
It is now possible opening documents that where manually moved to a
different location after they were saved and still produce an output.
Indeed, (hopefully) all needed included files are now still found.
When the moved document is saved again, all paths are accordingly updated.
Of course, for this to work, a document has to be saved in Format 490,
at least.
As an example, after converting the user guide to the last format, it can
be copied anywhere and opened without the need of adapting the paths of
included files or moving them to a proper place.
There is one glitch I am aware of. When moving a child document (but not
the master) the path to the master is correctly updated but it won't be
recognized as such. This is because LyX checks that the parent actually
includes this document but, of course, being the parent document not
touched, it appears not including this child. Anyway, it will also occur
when saving the child to a different location and the user is warned
on the terminal about this fact when the moved child is loaded.
However, there is no problem when it is the master that has been moved.
We also get a consistent look with amsmath, so require esint or amsmath.
When resolving alternatives, do also take into account whether the package
is available. For this to work, we also need to test for amsmath.sty (which
was surprisingly not yet done).
stupid me, I used a translatable string as box parameter. Therefore the feature only worked correctly with English locale. Now it works for every locale.
Newer boost versions use complicated type traits for boost::next and
boost::prior, which do not work with the RandomAccessList iterators.
The long term solution is to use std::next and std::prev, for now supply
simple replacements for compilers that do not support C++11 yet.
Revert "tex2lyx testfiles: update to latest fileformat"
This reverts commit afdfc3cf43.
The tex2lyx test vrefernces must be produced by tex2lyx, otherwise the tests
would still fail.
This fixes hopefully the compilation of check_trivstring on cygwin and
solaris. Previously I did not use the explicit instantiation, because c_str()
is used by other explicitly instantiated methiods, but for some reason this
does not seem to suffice.
LaTeX lengths must not use scientific notation, since the + sign has a
different meaning (glue lengths). This is the export part of bug 9416, the GUI
part is still not fixed.
The "save-as" part of the bug is fixed by extending the \textclass tag
such that, if a local layout file is used, its path relative to the
document directory is now stored together with the name. If a relative
path cannot be used, an absolute one is used but, in this case, the
document is not usable on a different platform.
The "copy" part is fixed by introducing a new \origin tag, which is
written when the file is saved. This tag stores the absolute path of
the document directory. If the document is manually copied to a
different location, the local layout file is retrivied by using
\origin (which is only updated on save).
This new tag may prove useful also for locating other files when the
document is manually moved to a different directory.
As in the original implementation the files needed for the layout
(for example, a latex class) had to be in the same directory as the
layout file, this directory has also to be added to TEXINPUTS.
We claim that gcc 4.x is needed in INSTALL, so it does not make sense to keep
this old stuff. Instead, I made configure output an error if gcc is too old.
The command "paste pdf" was always disabled because the
condition in the following "if" statement always returns false
if (arg == "pdf" && (type = Clipboard::PdfGraphicsType))
The value of "type" is zero in this case because PdfGraphicsType is
the first enum value (and it is not set explicitly to non-zero).
An alternative patch is to put AnyGraphicsType as the first
element of enum GraphicsType, or to set the first element to a
number greater than 0.
To test the bug that this commit fixes, either copy a PDF and try to
paste with the action "paste pdf", or click on the "Edit" menu and
notice (before this commit) the terminal output "Unrecognized
graphics type: pdf".
The GNU libstdc++ that ships witch gcc 5 can be used with the same ABI as
older versions, or with a new ABI which is conformant to the C++11 standard.
LyX did not build if the latter was used:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/1267/9651267/build.log
This is now fixed by detecting the ABI version and disabling the wrong forward
declarations. At the same time, STD_STRING_USES_COW is switched off for the
C++11 ABI version, because the std::basic_string implementation is now C++11
conformant. Since the GNU libstdc++ can also used by other compilers such as
clang, we must not test for the compiler version.
This is still a hack, but a less dangerous one. The old code had a problem
if it was called from different threads, or if for some reason it would get
called recursively.
The document iterator now skips math insets and insets like notes where spell check is disabled.
The continuous spell checking is part of the row painter drawing and the spell check disabled state
has to be passed down recursively while doing the inset painting.
Because of our better mechanism for dealing with errors (72c5385f),
the problem described in the comment is no longer possible.
NO_OUTPUT is treated as an error so there will no longer be a
lingering PDF in this case.
As Enrico said, the user might have installed a package that was
missing (in which case the .tex file would not have changed).
Another reason is that changing some document settings did not
automatically lead to a fresh compile after an error (#9061).
Our old mechanism for detemining whether there was an error was to
check if the dependent file existed in the temporary directory. If
it did not exist, that meant it was removed, presumably because
there was an error during compilation. That mechanism cannot be used
anymore because we keep the files around even after error because of
the "Show Output Anyway" button (09700d5b). This commit implements a
more straightforward way of checking whether there was an error in
the previous preview by simply storing the success of last compile
in a buffer variable.
The problem was due to the use of the wrong symbol for the slash.
The zero-width symbol for the \not operator was being used.
Using TeX fonts for all symbols gives now a better uniform look.
It is not possible using the alternative code even with Qt 5.4.1
because some glyphs are still missing.
Avoid that \newcommand[x] definitions of math macros are pushed multiple
times to the preview loader.
Redefinitions (via \renewcommand[x]) are properly handled.
The preview snippets are cached in a seemingly random order, such
that, when regenerating them on zoom, the math previews would be
numbered accordingly. Hence, we have to go through the insets to
get the correct order. This is a bit slower but unavoidable.
Note that I move the definition of cur up because we need to check if
it changed before the return. I also removed the const because
notifyCursorLeavesOrEnters() requires that.
This commit probably fixes other issues for any inset that defines
notifyCursorLeaves().
This fixes only part of #6173.
The reason we want to do this is for if there is pasting across buffers.
For within buffer, the previews should already be updated. Calling the
buffer-wide updatePreviews() might seem like overkill, but actually it
should be quick because only the previews that need updating are updated
(and this check feels quick to me, although I did not profile).
If we were to loop through the pasted text and update each preview
individually, this might take more time. When updating previews
together, only one .tex file is compiled.
Normally the theBufferList().updatePreviews(); statement would go inside
of PrefDisplay::applyRC. However, that would not work well because
Buffer::updatePreviews() calls loader() which conditions on
(lyxrc.preview == LyXRC::PREVIEW_OFF) but the new RC has not been set at
this point.
When editing a preview inset, or math, when we leave the inset, we
should update the preview. This update now happens for screen-up and
screen-down (commonly bound to Page Up and Page Down).
Note that this is only relevant if preview is turned on in
preferences.
This commit probably fixes other issues for any inset that defines
notifyCursorLeaves().
This fixes only part of #6173.
Sometimes, even compilable documents could not display preview
snippets. Previously the preview was computed only with help
of latex or xelatex.
This also fixes#9371
The FontMetrics dummy class was in the wrong namespace. Linking on linux
did work because the GNU linker is more clever than the MSVC linker for this
particular example and throws out more unused code, so that theFontMetrics was
not referenced at all.
Control + Shift + PgDn now moves a tab to the right.
Control + Shift + PgUp now moves a tab to the left.
These keybindings are consistent with Chromium, Firefox,
Nautilus, and gnome-terminal.
Note that I allow for wrapping. This is consistent with
allowing wrapping for buffer-{next,previous}, but there
might be reasons to disable it in the future.
buffer-next and buffer-previous are now only enabled
if there is more than one tab. Note that it does not
matter whether we are at the first or last tab because
we cycle.
Since the logout process still can be canceled here, we should only
check that all dirty buffers are saved and that the session state is
recorded.
Please test, particularly on Windows and OSX, that logging out with LyX
running (both with and without dirty buffers) proceeds sensibly and that
the LyX session is correctly restored when you re-login.
We currently cannot restore multiple views of the same buffer properly.
On the mac, we even crash.
So do not try it, record each file only once in the last opened list.
Fixes: #9483.
This fixes a situation where LyX did not detect that something went
wrong (that an external comman crashed) and reported that export was
successful. To reproduce, use the following version of LuaTeX (the
bug in LuaTeX causing the crash has since been fixed):
LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014) (rev 4971)
Then open FeynmanDiagrams.lyx and export with PDF (LuaTeX).
In the documentation [1] for QProcess::exitCode() it states:
"This value is not valid unless exitStatus() returns NormalExit."

Building on cd8be655, we still allow viewing a produced PDF even if
there were compilation errors. However, now the user must click the
"Show Output Anyway" button in the LaTeX Errors dialog. The reason
is that before, there was a chance that the user would not realize
there was an error (because the PDF would be shown over the error
dialog). The approach in this commit makes it more clear that there
is an error.
A new LFUN is introduced, LFUN_BUFFER_VIEW_CACHE. It is useful not
just for the implementation of the "Show Output Anyway" button, but
also to show the last compiled version of a document, which can save
time if a document takes a long time to compile (e.g. heavy use of
knitr).
When at the last position in an inset, selecting to the right
should select the entire inset. This only worked if there was
already a selection (i.e. the selection was started not at the
boundary).
The behavior of this bug was changed by commit 73a7bf9d. Before
that commit, if at the last position of an inset you select to
the right, nothing is selected but the selection is set. If you
select once more to the right, because the selection is set the
needsUpdate condition is satisfied so the whole inset is selected.
Note that everything here applies also to "first position of an
inset" and selecting to the left. By "selecting", I am referring
to LFUN_{CHAR,WORD}_{FORWARD,BACKWARD}_SELECT.
In the test case the crash occured in mathml export of the temporary buffer,
because the macro was updated, and because one of the used other macros was
not copied, the macro argument was detached. However, the underlying problem
of the crash was a broken ArgumentProxy::mathMacro_ reference which became
invalid each time the ownng MathMacro was copied. In the bug test case the
copying happened due to resizing a std::vector, but any other copy would have
created the same problem. The crash did not always happen, because sometimes
the old freed memory was not immediately reused, so the invalid reference did
still point to usable data.
The fix is easy: Convert ArgumentProxy::mathMacro_ to a pointer and update it
always after creating a copy of the owner. The pimpl of MathMacro from the
previous commit helps here to distinguish between the data that can be
automatically copied (in MathMacro::Private) and the cleanup that needs to be
done manually (in MathMacro). This way, the manual copy constructor and
assigment operator of MathMacro does not need to be touched if a new member is
added.
* Remove the UndoKind parameter in the general interface
* move recordUndoInset to Cursor
* remove one variant of Undo::recordUndo.
* get rid of Text::recUndo.
The only real user was Text::insertStringAsLine, but this got changed
in commit 2c7152ab.
While not other place did read the value, there is a side effect of
setAutobreakRow that merges exiting paragraphs. However, this is used
in two situations
* some constructors, where the inset is empty;
* InsetTabular::toggleFixedWidth, which actually contains itself some
code to merge paragraphs.
Therefore the member and all associated code can be removed safely.
Rely only on InsetText::allowMultipar() to get this information.
Implement this method for InsetTabular and InsetBox.
Also rely on this method for disabling LFUN_PARAGRAPH_BREAK.
* Disable "New Inset" button
* Do not disable line edits, but use setReadOnly instead (this allows copying contents)
Fixes: #9408
Note that some dialogs still need some care.
The expanded cells of a mathmacro were previously stored in an InsetMathSqrt.
This was only used as a container for the MathData object in the first cell
of the sqrt inset, which contained the actual expanded arguments.
Funny enough, the only place were the inset property of expanded_ was really
used cannot be seen in the diff. It was MathMacro::kerning(), and this usage
was wrong, since InsetMathSqrt::kerning() always returns 0. Threfore, using
the correct type (MathData) for expanded_ does not only make the code more
readable, gets rid of an unneeded dependency, but also fixes a bug: Now the
correct kerning is returned for expanded cells. Also, expanded_ and
definition_ use the same type now, which looks nicely symmetric.
Previously, things like [ name ] where exported for computer algebra systems.
Now, the expanded macros are exported, which may still be wrong, but now the
CAS has at least a chance to understand what was meant.
Currently, only lfun names are accepeted but there are cases in which
the lfun name does not map directly to an icon. Fore example, in the
outliner, the icon named "promote" is used for the lfun outline-out.
As a result, a graphics inset is used in the documentation for describing
the corresponding icon. Now one can also use an icon name. The argument
of "info-isert icon" is firstly lookep up as an lfun. If no corresponding
icon is found, the argument is taken as the name of the icon. If no such
icon exists, the "unknown" icon is used.
The computation of length on screen depend in particular of the computation of the size of an em. Many places of the code used to rely on the width of the M character, which is not really correct:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Em_%28typography%29
In digital typography, the best value to use is the point size of the font.
* Implement FontMetrics::em(), which returns the value in pixels of the EM unit.
Convert code to use it.
* Introduce Length::inPixel(MetricsBase const &), which takes the textwidth and em information from the MetricsBase object. Convert code to use it.
* Fix several places where Length::inPixel is used without a proper em value.
* add mathed_font_em() helper function. It should eventually be removed like some other functions in MathSupport.
* Add dummy implementation of FontMetrics to tex2lyx for linking purposes.

This is a bug reported and fixed by Edwin Leuven.

my table ends up all bonkers
This is the rersult of a discussion on the list. Now all special characters
have meaningful names, and it is clear that the LyX file syntax is not LaTeX.
