Hello,

I'm quite new to Lyx so maybe this is simply an get-the-right- settings-issue. As Lyx 1.5 now should support unicode and I'm a Linguist, I'm trying simply to paste some IPA-Chars (Ipa-Extension of UTF-8) like in any other Unicode aware Application (Texteditors etc.)
So, If I type

øœæaɐɤʌzʁʝʐɖɳβɸʟɰlɮ

in an editor and paste it into Lyx, I get:

a???z?????????l?

and this appears in the output, too.

Well, shouldn't this be working?
Some more details:
I'm using a unicode-capable font for screen display. In the document settings I switched from English with default encoding to English with UTF-8 or UTF-8x (where's the difference, actually?) and still get the same results. If I put \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} in the preamble I get a clash as I've already defined it in the encoding preferences.

So, how can I paste phonetic characters directly to Lyx?

Thanks for your help.

Johannes
