Well, yes I had read this already. My problem was that I never got it working for me: Only ERT insertions like \textschwa did the job, the math environment just switches back, so I get literally @ in my text.

I agree that inserting IPA chars is quite incovenient if you do this with the normal character palette in OSX. But you have nice and nice working helper palettes like <http://www.blugs.com/IPA/>. With this free app you get an IPA chart where you just click on the symbols and they are inserted in the currently chosen application. While this works fine with all editors I know, Lyx accepts only characters like e i ç and so on. Schwas and others are simply ignored (nothing happens). I think it would be really useful to get pasting into Lyx working and I'd really like to contribute if I can (compiling apps is really quite new to me, some things like compiling Gnupg which is well documented worked, but I don't no much about setting the right options/flags whatsoever). The next step would be getting the pasted characters to typeset, but first: how to get it on the screen?

Cheers,
Johannes
