One solution is to write a small program in C or Perl that prints all
characters, and then copy and paste the correct character in your
document. Type the following in file chars.c:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
int i;
for (i=32; i<256; i++) putchar(i);
putchar('\n');
return 0;
}
Compile it with command
cc chars.c -o chars
And run with command
./chars
Then just pick up the correct character and paste it into LyX.
Btw, a dialog that would display _all_ possible characters from some
font and the user could pick up them with mouse, would be nice for LyX.
