Hello!
As it turns out, the LyX 1.1.6fix1 can not be used with the
Latin-2 keyboard, ie. with keyboard that actually returns
correct keysyms for ISO Latin 2 symbols (eg. ccaron, scaron,
zcaron, etc.). LyX simply ignores those keysyms as shown
by "lyx -dbg key" and such problems were recently reported
in lyx-users by three Latin-2 users (me included).
I only discovered this recently, because Slovenian keyboard
prior to XFree86 4.x did really fake that it's Latin-1 keyboard,
which *is* understood by LyX. You could convince LyX with
that old (wrong) keyboard that it should in fact display Latin-2
font, even if it thought that it has Latin-1 input. This is no
longer true with the new (ie. the correct) Latin-2 xkb keyboard,
since it returns correct keysyms.
I'm attaching a simple patch that enables support for Latin-2
keysyms in LyX. It should not break anything for any other
keyboard as it just adds translation of ISO Latin-2 keysyms
to ISO Latin-2 characters as I saw them defined in
X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h.
Could you, please, consider to include such Latin-2 keyboard fix
in the next stable release of the LyX?
