Babel's Serbian support misses the auto set-up of a cyrillic font
encoding present in Babel's support for Russian and other languages using
the Cyrillic script. Instead, it relies on the user to hand-insert the
T2A option.
Thanks for this info, I wasn't aware of this.
(According to the documentation in my Debian/testing-TeXLive
2012 system, there is no support for Serbian Cyrillic.)
Yes, our Serbian (Cyrillic) support was added after a user informed us what needs to be done. Its
main feature is the inputenc. The time we implemented this the fontenc issueseems to be forgotten.
An alternative to the hardcoded changes in C code would be to edit the
languages file and add to
Language serbian
the following code to load the font encoding file and set the font encoding:
PostBabelPreamble
\input{t2aenc.def}
\fontencoding{T2A}\selectfont
EndPostBabelPreamble
I think this is the way to go because T2A must be used if Serbian or Kazakh is used no matter what
the main language is. however, I'm curious to now why LyX defines \textcyr in the preamble for
Cyrillic letters but never uses this command.
thanks and regards

LyX currently does not do this for Cyrillic
and Greek.
I propose a change to "unicodesymbols" to use LICRs instead of hard-coded
character numbers, e.g.
- 0x0410 "\\textcyr{\\char192}" "textcyr" "" # CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER A
+ 0x0410 "\\textcyr{\\cyrA}" "textcyr" "" # CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER A
so that LyX-converted cyrillic text works in the PDF sidebar.
This requires to change the "textcyr" feature to load t2aenc.def either via
an option to "fontenc" or via \input{t2anec.def}. A similar change is
required for Greek.
The "textcyr/textgreek" from "unicodesymbols" should, however, not append
the required font encoding to the options, as
IMO, the right thing would be to include a cyrillic font encoding in the
fontenc options via the "textcyr" option of "unicodesymbols":
pseudo code:
for fe in ("T2A", "T2B", "T2C", "X2"):
if fe in font_encodings:
return
font_encodings.append("X2")
Maybe we also need
