i don't really know if you need the umlauts or accents for
fomula text, which is in italic or normal text, not italic.
1. real text in mathmode:
open the blue mathbox and write your formula until you need
german umlauts or accents. hit alt-m m, this toggles between
text and mathmode.
2. umlauts and accents in mathmode, means italic:
open the blue mathbox and write your formula until you need
german umlauts or accents. write
\mbox{
only the open parenthesis, lyx puts by default the closing
one, mbox{}. lyx don't show the backslash!
as an argument for mbox write
\mathit{
lyx puts the closing parenthesis, so you have mbox{mathit{}}
as an argument for amthit write your umlauts or letters with
accents. at this point lyx don't know that you are writing
in "mathtextmode", therefore you always have blue characters
and space is only possible with control-space. you can change
this with alt-m m.
