I'm starting to write my thesis in Lyx and it so happens that I need to use microns(?) in my physical units alot. But I can't get a non-italic ? in math mode. Unicode doesn't seem to work either I get error messages:Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:μ not set up for use with LaTeX.
As you are using LyX 1.5 you can enter it directly via the keyboard. The only thing you have to do is to use the default encoding for English in your case. Attached is a LyX-file showing this.
You can alternatively use the ERT-command \textmu when you add this to your document preamble: \usepackage{textcomp}Concerning units, don't forget that there is only a hlaf space between number and units. A half space is produced in LyX with the shortcut "Ctrl-Shift Space" (menu Insert-> Formatting -> Thin space), see also the attached example.
