Well, I can only report what I said previously: my version of LyX2.0 can neither copy inside it any text from other programs, nor copy outside of it any text to any other programs. Paste special does not work - it is greyed out. > 2) When I tried to make a pdf out of a Russian text containing obsolete > characters, LyX returned the same error that version 2.0 did. > 3) However (!), when I ticked the option "use XeTeX", all the Russian text, > including obsolete characters, was successfully exported to... > 3a) ... to an xhtml file.

If, however, I choose Document Settings > Output > Use XeTex, I can get the correct output, but only as an xhtml file, which is then displayed in my Firefox and which I have no idea what to do with.
