So you got a lot of answers to a question you did not mean to ask. It's inevitable that if you make a comment not related to your question, people might comment back, even if they haven't a clue about how to answer your question ;-) > I think that any users writing greek documents would probably be helpful on > this one. Thanks anyway. > Go to the internationalisation page at lyx.org: http://www.lyx.org/about/i18n.php3 There are links to how to set up lyx in various languages. There is nothing specific to Greek unfortunately, but it should be similar to other languages which use non-latin fonts. The Bulgarian link is unfortunately broken, so the closest thing would be Hebrew, with the added complication of right-to-left, which you don't need to worry about. See http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~dekelts/lyx/instructions2.html Basically, - install any latex stuff specific to Greek docs. - install fonts for displaying on screen (you probably already have these). - optionally, download keybindings (greek.bind -- sorry, I don't know where from) - set up fonts and encoding (iso-8859-7 for Greek, I believe) and language(s) using lyx GUI (menu options depend on what version of lyx you're using) If you can't get it going maybe you should drop a line to the contact person responsible for the Greek documentation.
