Dear LyX users,
This looks more like something for devel....

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.
