Attached is a demo document showing how to use xetex with LyX. pdf file(69kB): http://www.aitel.hist.no/~helgehaf/xetex.pdf
Xetex is a TeX variant that uses unicode. Set the LyX encoding to utf8-plain. Then, any unicode character will work in the document, provided you have them in the font used. The demo document mixes Latin, Greek, Russian and Chinese with little effort. To test: Load the document into LyX-1.5 File->Export->LaTeX(pdflatex) $ xelatex xetex.tex View the resulting xetex.pdf Would it be interesting to have view->PDF(xelatex) File->Export->PDF(xelatex) File->Export->LaTeX(xelatex) ? Support for xetex font commands can be added later. Helge Hafting
