Not really (I do not use XeTeX myself). Anyway, for LyX 1.6, you need to set up LyX for the use of XeTeX. A HowTo is here: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/XeTeX Don't hesitae to ask here on the list if things remain unclear. As Richard wrote, LyX 2.0 will have some more native XeTeX support. There, your work reduces to click a "use XeTeX" checkbox in Document>Settings. But I would not recomment LyX 2.0svn yet for serious work. HTH, Jürgen
