Hello,
I am posting this in hope that it will get read by a Lyx developer as
well as a user who uses Cyrillic in Lyx/LaTeX.
I wanted to enable ISO8859-5 fonts to be used in Lyx in order to do
that I did the following:
I opened $HOME/.lyx/lyxrc and added the following:
\screen_font_encoding iso8859-5
\font_encoding "T2A"
Under "Layout --> Document --> Encoding" I selected "Latin5".
Now here is the catch:
In order to use the Cyrillic in LaTeX the following two lines have to
appear:
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[iso88595]{inputenc}
If I create a document with the options described above, Lyx exports a
LaTeX document but with *these* options:
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin5]{inputenc}
^^^^^^^^
If you are Lyx developer could please consider changing the command
which is responsible for encoding .lyx files in latin5 to iso88595. By
doing this Lyx would instantly be able to process Cyrillic text files
of at least *57* additional languages (if "Cyrillic languages support
in LaTeX" document is to be believed).
Having said all that I must mention that I am using Lyx 1.0.3. If you
have implemented the above changes, please accept my apologies.
Thank you for you time.
-Alex
