Dear LyX-Specialists,
my small son hit the send-botton. sorry.
I'm a LyX-Newbie (to LaTeX also) and want to write a Paper (Book) using
this wonderful Program.
So far setting up LyX was not a Problem. Since I will use lots of Russian
and German Books in my Bibliography, i want it to be able to use äöüß
(Umlauts) and абвгд... (cyrillic Russian).
I startet using Bibtex and realised it had no utf8 encoding. The Trick with
the texmakro and transcryption in the database (I found that on this
mailarchive) is not an option for me, because I use loads of russian Books
and I don't really want to transcribe them all.
So I decided to try biblatex with biber to make use of utf8.
This is what I did so far:
- This is my current preample:
\usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{C:/Users/GrosseWiesmann/Documents/LMUVera/magisterarbeit/MagisterarbeitLyX/Literaturliste.bib}
I put the file biblatex.module
<http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/BibTeX/biblatex.module> in the *layouts*
folder run Tools→Reconfigure.
I selected the module "Biblatex-citation-styles" from
Document→Settings→Modules.
I changed the bibliographic preoprocessor to biber under
LyX→Preferences→Settings→Output→LaTeX.
and I changed the Latex-Fontencoding to T2A.
The lyx-file is safed as utf8 also.
While I use German books, everything works fine. I have Umlauts and the
Bibliography is printed, when I cite the book. I even managed to implement
the author-year style correctly.
But when I use Russina books, in Lyx the citation looks fine and i can read
the cyrillic, but when printed to pdf I only see (\IeC {\cyrr }\IeC {\cyru
}\IeC {\cyrs } ) for example where the cytation should be but this is just
the Bibtex-kex not printed correctly in Russian letters.
In the Bibliography the cited book is not printed at all.
When I change the above settings I only managed to mess things more up,
like not even printing any citations and using ? instead of years or so.
Thanks for answering and sorry again for sending half an email 20min ago.
