I dig a little bit into LyX source, and although I am very far from
programming (used to be in the past), I've found a way to enter desired
accented characters which are prohibited in LyX.
I had the sam problem - for sanskrit I need many underdot characters.
Here is the solution:
Find a tex-accent.C file and in line 39 (struct definition), change the
string to contain the characters you need for appropriate accent.
I just tried and I have m with dot as well as t with underdot.
When I'll have more time (now I'm finishing one book and I was in need
of quick solution), I'll try to inspect a source a little bit to try to
find a way to get correct code for accented characters.
Sincerely,
Sasa
