(here is another attempt to write to this mail list; I am not sure my first attempt worked; this time I am writing from the blog at Gmane)
Dear LyX usres, This is my first post to this mailing list, and it's been just a couple of days since I started exploring LyX to see if it can suit my needs. I'm also Latex-illiterate. So please be patient with me ;-) I am writing papers that are mostly in Russian, but may have some passages in English or in Greek. I didn't have any problems typesetting texts in these languages in LyX under Ubuntu Karmic. The problem arouse when I needed to insert some obsolete Russian characters that were used before the 20th century. Namely, the letters yat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yat), fita (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fita) or izhitsa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izhitsa): if I insert them to LyX via Character Map, LyX refuses to produce a pdf, complaining that it can't recognize these characters. Is there any way to solve this problem? Thanks in advance, Andrey
