;-) Not now it doesn't. As Asger suggests in his reply "Re: future of LyX"
there are more than enough of LyX's internals spread out on the operating
table at the moment.
However, given that my desire was to produce pretty labels in the GUI, not
inside LyX itself, I shall continue as I have. Ie, if I can create a
character using the compose key, then it goes in the array, otherwise it
won't.
Incidentally, is there a resource somewhere describing the compose key
combinations? At the moment I use guess work!
