Hi,
I am working on a linguistic presentation in Beamer (theme = Singapore).
Single upright Greek characters need to be inserted here and there.
Many hours spent on experiments and attempts to use Greek characters
ended up in Latex errors.

openSuse 13.2, KDE 4.14.3, Lyx 2.1.2 (everything up to date)
I have installed:
texlive-greek-fontenc
texlive-greek-inputenc
texlive-greektex
texlive-textcase
texlive-textgreek

A) Inserting Greek characters somewhere in the standard text:

- Insert>Special Character>Symbols - Greek/Greek Extended = failed for Greek while most other character types do work

- Insert>Math>Inline Formula = works, but characters are slanted

- Using the Character Selector with copy & paste = failure for Greek while many other do work

- $\alpha$ etc. in an ERT box does of course work, but produces slanted characters

B) Inserting Greek characters in glosses
Absolute failure; neither can copied Greek characters be pasted.
Strikingly though that some other special characters can be inserted in glosses using the character selector!

PS: Documents>Settings>Language:
Language: English
Language Default
Language package: Default

Latex Preamble: no entries regarding or related to Greek, language packages or above mentioned texlive packages.

Can somebody advise me on this issue?

Cheers and thanks,
Michael Berger*
