Dear LyX users,
with LyX 1.6, using unicode characters other than the first block is
possible also in math mode. The character in question is either replaced
by a math-equivalent (if defined in the "unicodesymbols" file) or by
"text in math" with the text-equivalent.
This is a vast improvement over the silent failure in LyX 1.5, my thanks
go out to the relevant developer(s)!
However, there remain some inconsistencies:
* while A is typeset italic, Ä (and other accented characters) are not.
* while l is typeset italic, λ (and other Greek characters) are not.
So, the question is:
* should Ä be replaced with \"A in math?
More generally: should "latin-1 supplement" characters for which a math
equivalent exists use this instead of a text-version?
* should λ be replaced with \lambda in math?
More generally:
* should Greek characters from the "Greek and Coptic"
unicode block use the math-equivalent, or
* should only Greek symbols (from Greek and Coptic" and/or from
"Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols") be converted to math symbols?
and could these also show as italic in the LyX GUI?
Attached is a patch for Greek in math.
Günter
