Point taken. I'm attaching the patch for ISO Latin 2, 3 and 9 in
LyX 1.1.6fix1 - they are the only Latin keysyms that I found in
X11/keysymdef.h, but of course this list could be extended -
and ISO Latin 1 was already supported before that.

Do you really mean "latin 2 font" or perhaps "latin 2 encoding"?
I'm afraid I don't understand the problem. Are you refering
to Unicode fonts and possible problems there?
IMHO the patch is OK and I hope that it will be accepted;
getiso() should return ISO character code of the keysym (description
in comment says so), which it does - now also for ISO Latin 2.
