Hi Paolo,

The line on top in the PDF appears because you have 'fancy' selected under Page Layout; normally you'd specify running headers with that layout that would appear above the line. Set it back to "default" if you don't want the line.

I couldn't reproduce your problem. The π shows up correctly in the PDF for me regardless of the encoding I choose.

What are you trying to do? If you're using Greek letters in a math context, you do not need to change the encoding. Just enter math mode (see Help>Math) and type \pi, \alpha, \tau, etc. along with all the other math stuff you need. LyX out-of-the-box default settings will make it show up correctly.

    The following LyX setup
    document->settings-> language->encoding type    'traditional

    yields the expected pdf view, showing greek character \pi
    (by the way, where do the line appearing on top come from? )

    while setting
    document->settings-> language->encoding type    'Unicode (utf8)'
    exporting to pdf yields:
    ----
    LaTeX Error: Unicode character π (U+03C0)

    Description:

    You may provide a definition with

Works for me as well. I wonder if this has anything to do with the TeX installation. I'm using TeXLive (2023.20240207-1).
