I think this is more a latex-related problem than lyx-related... I want to generate the $\v{S}$ character. I entered it with Insert -> Special Character -> Symbols -> Latin-Extended-A The character is correctly displayed if I use pdflatex, but it doesn't show up with xetex. Ok, I could simply stick to pdflatex, but for xetex, should I be using any special package with it? -- Rudi Gaelzer Department of Physics Institute of Physics and Mathematics Federal University of Pelotas BRAZIL Registered linux user # 153741
