Usually, I don't use them. (I type \`{a} for à) However, my present issue is a different one: say I process my file.tex by pdflatex as to get file.pdf. If I have used fontenc and/or inputenc, the acroread viewer displays file.pdf in a very weird way, characters are somehow distorted. Note that file.pdf looks fine if displayed by some other viewer. Anybody knows what it is going on? Anyway, may I force Lyx somehow not to use fontenc/inputenc? Thanks mario > > regards Uwe >
