Experimenting with LyX 2.4 RC4... Specifically, I'm testing whether there is
Unicode support.
* I have successfully pasted in a Unicode character from VSCode into a LyX
2.4 RC4 document, so this seems to work:
[cid:image001.png@01DA8B60.FFE8A950]
Here, the first symbol is produced in VSCode using "\frakm + TAB", and then
pasted into a LyX text line. The second occurrence (slightly different in
form) is produced as in-line math "\mathfrak{m}".
I can also decorate this symbol with a dot on top, "\frakm + TAB \dot + TAB" in
VSCode. When I paste this symbol into LyX, the dot on top of "\frakm + TAB" is
somewhat skewed to the right.
OK - so Unicode in LyX seems to work. It also works if I preview the document
as a PDF file.

Next, I try to use Unicode in listings. That does not work at the moment...
Here is what I do:
* Insert/Program Listing
* I paste the "\frakm + TAB" symbol from VSCode into this box.
* This gives a paste error message:
[cid:image003.png@01DA8B61.C58642D0]
* I then go to Document/Settings/Listings, and change Syntax Highlighting
Package to *minted*, which provides a message:
[cid:image004.png@01DA8B62.5053B550]
I don't understand this message...
* I'm on Windows, and the documentation says that Pygments driver is
installed by default (??). Anyways, reading this warning...
* Where am I supposed to place command "\AtBeginDocument{...}"?? Are we
talking about putting this command in the Document/Settings/LaTeX Preamble
window??? Or should I open the LyX document in an ASCII editor and add the
line... somewhere?
* What is the "driver command", i.e., the string I'm supposed to insert
instead of `driver`? Is it simply `pygmentize`??
* Anyways, for now I just neglect this command, and go to
Tools/Preferences/File Handling/Converters, and scroll down to
[cid:image002.png@01DA8B63.945591F0]
Here I have changed Converter from `pdflatex $$i` to what is shown above.
When I go back to the document and insert a listing, and then paste the Unicode
symbol into the listing, I get the same error message with paste error as shown
at the top of this e-mail.

So - I'm stuck. The only possible reason for the problem now are:
* I need to find the correct place to insert the string
"\AtBeginDocument..." string with the correct `driver` (whatever that is), and
live with the warning of mint & `-shell-escape` causing a security risk.
Perhaps this will solve the problem.
* Or: it is not possible to use Unicode characters in LyX 2.4 listings.
Any suggestions?
