When exporting a LyX file to latex (pdflatex) in MacOSX, the .tex file is encoded using Western MacOS Roman but the .tex file declares \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} (it should be applemac and not latin1). I tried to specify applemac with no luck: one can only choose between latin1, latex default (ie nothing), and some codepages (no cp1252). Does anyone know how to do this? (of course, one solution is to set the encoding to 'latex default' then manually add inputenc in the preamble) Is there a way to teach LyX to use common characters when possible while exporting? Mine transforms double quotes to \char`\"{} instead of using the " char. Latin1, applemac, or whatever encoding you use, the double quote exists for all encoding and there is absolutely
no need to make this transformation.
Another problem with quotes: I checked the document option to use English opening and closing double quotes (``and '') but when exported to latex, my .tex file contains those "quotes" (straight). It would be great if either LyX exports ``quotes'' like this (latex style), or "quotes" like this and uses csquotes package, making double quotes active.
