Oh, sorry! Only now I understood what you've said.
I did this: a. copied the file unicodesymbols from /usr/share/lyx1.5.1/unicodesymbols to /home/peleg/.lyx1.5.1/unicodesymbols b. opened the copy with vim. there was no "0x03c8" string there at all, so instead of modifying the file, I have added this line: 0x03c8 "\\textgreek{y}" "textgreek" "" "mathalpha" "\\psi" # GREEK SMALL LETTER PSI c. I have restarted LyX. Nothing has changed: I am clicking ψ on my keyboard and getting the usual non-mathematical ψ. d. I have tried to add the line to the original file in /usr/share/... instead of in my home folder. restarted LyX. Still the same. e. I have read this correspondance: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg129516.html (well, not all of it...) - still couldn't understand. Any ideas? Thanks ahead, Peleg.
