| As it turns out, the LyX 1.1.6fix1 can not be used with the

| 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 am not excatly willing to take patches that solve this problem by
special casing latin2.
and in any event we should to this for the other latinX xkeysyms as
well.

| 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.
Of course this only works if you are using a latin2 font.
| Could you, please, consider to include such Latin-2 keyboard fix
| in the next stable release of the LyX?
