This revives a patch by Uwe and extends it. Additional options to font
packages/fontspec can now be entered in Document Settings.
This is principally also true for TeX fonts, if the new TeXFont tag
MoreOptions is set. For the time being, I have only done this for
MinionPro, as a model and prove of concept.
Note that adding more TeXFonts requires a file format change,
respectively, and changes to tex2lyx (in the same way as I've done for
MinionPro).
This addresses #8226
This is a higher-level (non-TeX) font interface of babel that draws on,
but is supposed to be used rather than, fontspec with babel and XeTeX/
LuaTeX.
File format change.
Addresses: #11614
Nix (https://nixos.org) is a Unix package manager, which can be used to
install LaTeX on macOS. A peculiarity of Nix is that all packages are
installed into separate directories and the actual directory tree is
then constructed via symlinks.
This interacts badly with the way LyX currently detects files in the
TeX setup, because TeXFiles.py does not follow symlinks. Therefore,
almost nothing is found when using LyX together with Nix’ LaTeX.
Patch from Michael Roitzsch.
At the time, there were two competing packages for French language:
frenchle (aka french.sty), the historical one, and frenchb.ldf, the
new kid on the block. I was difficult to know which one was loaded by
babel, and frenchle did not define \og and \fg. Thus the need for our
own definition.
These were the good old days, but this time is gone for good.
It is now possible to specify in the lib/language file whether screen
rows can be broken anywhere (CJK languages) or only at work boundary.
Set WordWrap to false for the CJK languages (notice that japanese-cjk
had been forgotten before).
Moreover, remove a test for separators in row element that was not
really helpful.
Fixes part of ticket #10299.
FWIW this code is important for very old versions of lyx, older than 1.1.5 (released 19 years ago - 2000/06/06).
Funny fact of the day, byte strings do not behave as regular strings in python3 when taking and index.
To get a sub-string we need to pass a range, a integer index will not work as it happens in a regular string:
$ ipython3
...
In [30]: line
Out[30]: b'#This file was created by <mike> Tue Jan 25 10:36:51 2000'
In [31]: line[0]
Out[31]: 35
In [32]: line[0:1]
Out[32]: b'#'
The range notations works for both byte and regular strings in python 3, and it also works in python 2.
Thus the change is simple and effective. In any case I should confess that I was quite surprised by this. :-)
