Hi,
studying the Latex error messages, I noticed that lyx-1.4 sets the
inputencoding to latin1. This works for textdegree. lyx-1.5 sets it to
latin9, this does not work for textdegree.
On my debian system are both encodings installed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ locale -a|grep de
de_DE
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
de_DE.iso88591
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
de_DE.utf8
deutsch
In the preferences dialog I found no possibility to tell lyx, which encoding
to use. My workaround: put the "Use language's default encoding" off and put
in the latex preamble \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}.
Now textdegree works, and as I am writing text about chemistry with a lot of
textdegree symbols I have only one change to do to make my scripts working
again with this very nice lyx-1.5.
Bernd
