fontslyx
New LyX user here. How can I restore LyX to its original document defaults?* (I have tried reinstalling LyX, but that didn't work.)
*I want to do this, because I want to return to the default fonts. Also, for some reason my PDF output isn't rendering (math symbols) properly and changes the font.
If there is is a better way to fix these (possibly related problems) let me know.
Within LaTeX's default list environments, paragraphs have no indent. The definition of \list from the LaTeX kernel identifies this:
\def\list#1#2{%
\ifnum \@listdepth >5\relax
\@toodeep
\else
\global\advance\@listdepth\@ne
\fi
\rightmargin\z@
\listparindent\z@% <------------------ No \listparindent
\itemindent\z@
\csname @list\romannumeral\the\@listdepth\endcsname
\def\@itemlabel{#1}%
\let\makelabel\@mklab
\@nmbrlistfalse
#2\relax
\@trivlist
\parskip\parsep
\parindent\listparindent% <----------- No \parindent
\advance\linewidth -\rightmargin
\advance\linewidth -\leftmargin
\advance\@totalleftmargin \leftmargin
\parshape \@ne \@totalleftmargin \linewidth
\ignorespaces}
So you either have to insert this manually via an ERT that contains \hspace*{20pt} (where 20pt is the default \parindent) or "fix" \list to not set this value to zero (\z@) via an etoolbox patch:
\usepackage{etoolbox}% http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox
\makeatletter
% \patchcmd{<cmd>}{<search>}{<replace>}{<success>}{<failure>}
\patchcmd{\list}{\listparindent\z@}{\listparindent\parindent}{}{}
\makeatother
Include the above in your LaTeX preamble.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum,etoolbox}% http://ctan.org/pkg/{lipsum,etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\list}{\listparindent\z@}{\listparindent\parindent}{}{}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
\item \lipsum[1-2]
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
Here is a working (almost) MWE:
\documentclass[danish]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\renewcommand\rmdefault{dayroms}
\begin{document}
\section*{Dayrom S}
For mange Aar siden levede en Keiser, som holdt saa uhyre meget af
smukke nye Kl\ae der, at han gav alle sine Penge ud for ret at blive
pyntet. Han br\o d sig ikke om sine Soldater, br\o d sig ei om Comedie
eller om at kj\o re i Skoven, uden alene for at vise sine nye Kl\ae
der. Han havde en Kjole for hver Time paa Dagen, og ligesom man siger
om en Konge, han er i Raadet, saa sagde man altid her: >>Keiseren er i
Garderoben!<<~--
\end{document}
I am almost certain this example will fail for you because I am almost certain you do not have the font installed. The font is not part of TeX Live. Three possibilities:
getnonfreefonts script which will automate the process for you. This is part of TeX Live but probably not packaged by Ubuntu. Two possibilities:

My guess is that you need to delete a set of config files that is created by LyX. Reinstalling LyX does not, probably, delete those files and the new LyX install sees the old configs. Under Linux you can delete your
~/.lyxdirectory, under Windows a similar directory underDocuments and settings(the name of this folder heavily depends on which version of Windows you use, if any :).
