Hi, I am using the german suse 8.0 distribution. I loaded the cjk-latex and cjk-lyx from ~mfabian and installed it. cjk-lyx just won´t start. using the debug command I can see, that it stops at "initialising GUI". I tried it on another machine cjk-lyx had the same problem, but than suddenly it worked. So I installed xcin, which works pretty well with chinese. But when I insert characters, it will not display them. there is just some 24bit charakter output. It won´t print as well. I am using the arphic fonts. I tried to convert them to T1 but that did not work. Can someone help me please. Maybe there is an easy step to step guide how to install cjk-lyx and where to get all the stuff I need? I read www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/suse-cjk.html but it did not work for me... Thanks a lot CU Felix Ulmer

Try to install xdevel.rpm from your SuSE distribution first. cjk-lyx shouldn't need that, but it does. So it depends on whether xdevel.rpm is installed by chance or not.

I can't help you with these problems. I can only say that cjk-lyx works fine for me -- with Japanese fonts. Mike Fabian's install instructions are quite detailled. Please check whether you did everything correctly. Are the fonts installed? (I think you dont have to convert any font.) Did you do the necessary changes in your ~/.lyx-cjk/lyxrc file? Did you start cjk-lyx in the correct locale? Did you try to use any special characters, umlauts or so, which is impossible and makes cjk-lyx crash? You have to use the latex codes instead. Did you start it with "lyx-cjk" or with "lyx"? Good luck Gerhard Schuck geschu@ma5.seikyou.ne.jp

Did Gerhard Schuck's hint to install xdevel.rpm help?

I can't reproduce that problem. Did you setup the fonts as described in http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/cjk-lyx-chinese-big5.html ?
I am using the arphic fonts. I tried to convert them to T1 but that did not work.
How did you try to convert them to T1?
The easiest way to create Type1 versions of these fonts for use
with CJK-LaTeX is to use my /usr/sbin/cjk-latex-config script.
Just call it like
cjk-latex-config --type1
as root and it will create Type1 versions of the fonts which will be
used by dvips and by pdflatex. Using Type1 fonts in the PostScript
files and in the .pdf files has the advantage that they scale better,
i.e. even at very high zoom levels they look nice. When .pk fonts are
used you will see the pixels of the bitmaps at high zoom levels.
This is also quite visible when you use something like
\scalebox{5}{... text ...}
in your .tex files. On top of that, .pdf files containing .pk
fonts cannot be displayed correctly by xpdf, but when Type1 fonts
are used xpdf can display them correctly without problems.
The use of Type1 fonts for PostScript and .pdf doesn't influence the
screen display of cjk-lyx though, the fonts used for display on screen
are selected only in ~/.lyx-cjk/lyxrc.
