Hello,There's some problems with \textdegree reported on the users list that I can easily reproduce. With the attached LyX file, the LateX export will translate the degree symbol in mathed to \textdegree.
Neither the dvi nor the pdf (pdflatex) file shows the \textdegree symnol but both of them shows the unicode symbol just fine.
Bernd Sellentin (message reproduced below) suggests to put \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} in the preamble. But this leads to a LateX error about a clash in the inputenc package.
This is a major bug IMHO, LateX expert someone? Abdel. ________________________________ Hi, studying the Latex error messages, I noticed that lyx-1.4 sets the inputencoding to latin1. This works for textdegree. lyx-1.5 sets it to latin9, this does not work for textdegree. On my debian system are both encodings installed: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ locale -a|grep de de_DE [EMAIL PROTECTED] de_DE.iso88591 [EMAIL PROTECTED] de_DE.utf8 deutschIn the preferences dialog I found no possibility to tell lyx, which encoding to use. My workaround: put the "Use language's default encoding" off and put
in the latex preamble \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}.
Now textdegree works, and as I am writing text about chemistry with a
lot of
textdegree symbols I have only one change to do to make my scripts working again with this very nice lyx-1.5. Bernd
