Hi! With a great interest I'm reading discussion (from ml's archives, please CC replies to this msessage) regarding LyX-1.5 which brings Unicode support and I hope all the devs would be able to resolve everything and bring new LyX successfully.
Today I read old copy of TUGBoat journal about XeTeX and its nice features and I visited its web site. It looks that it is developing nicely and it brings some very welcome features to standard TeX like support for host-platform fonts - one of the weak points in the present TeX installations - along with font access and it is getting multi-platform support. However, I see that XeTeX uses utf-16 encoding internally, while upcoming LyX, afaik, settled on utf-8, so I wonder what is the prospect of future LyX-1.5 to handle XeTeX engine? Sincerely, Gour
