Günter,
That's interesting. It's only with the \textphi command that the following
space is dropped. I added an interword space (not a protected space) and
that fixed the appearance.
In the future, if I see this again I will add braces to the command.
Many thanks,
Rich

No. This is a TeX feature: any TeX command "eats up" the following space
unless it is terminated by either \ or {}. I recommend
"... \textrho\texttau\textphi{} is ...".
(See the source panel (View>Source) for an example how LyX handles this when
converting Unicode characters to LaTeX macros.)

Spacing of LaTeX insert too small
I'm running lyx-2.2.0 on Slackware-14.1. A KOMA-script Article class document contains three Greek characters in the text: \textrho, \texttau, and \textphi. The first two have correct spacing before and after the letter, but phi seems to lack that spacing in both places where it's included. See the attached .png; the phi is in the third row with the word 'is' squashed against its right side. I'll put a protected space there, but it might be a glitch that can be corrected in the next release. Rich
