Hi, 
I am trying to use lyx to write documents that include classical greek
text. This is handled nicely in straight latex by a package called
ibycus4. I am having some difficulties using this package with lyx and
was wondering if anyone could help me out. 

The problem arises because of the 

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} line in the lyx generated preamble. (If I
comment this line out, the ibycus package integrates smoothly. My
problem is that I don't really know how this package works (fontenc). 

When fontenc is called I get the following error message about locating
fonts. 
    LaTeX Font Info:    Try loading font information for T1+ibycus on
    input line 25 
    . 
    LaTeX Font Info:    No file T1ibycus.fd. on input line 25. 
    
    LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `T1/ibycus/m/n' undefined 
    (Font)              using `T1/cmr/m/n' instead on input line 25. 
    
    [1 
    ] (greek.aux) 
    
    LaTeX Font Warning: Some font shapes were not available, defaults
    substituted. 
    
    ) 

The fontenc package seems to assume that the ibycus fonts will be
installed under /T1 (?) and is missing T1ibycus.fd file. 

If I comment out the fontenc after converting to straight tex I get the
following lines. 
    (/usr/share/texmf/tex/ibygrk/ibycus4.sty 
    \digraphs=\toks14 
    
    (/usr/share/texmf/tex/ibygrk/ibycus4.map 
    (/usr/share/texmf/tex/ibygrk/tlgsqq.tex)) 
    (/usr/share/texmf/tex/ibygrk/Uibycus4.fd 
    File: Uibycus4.fd 
    ) 
    (/usr/share/texmf/tex/ibygrk/iby4extr.tex 
    (/usr/share/texmf/tex/ibygrk/version4.tex 
    
And everything works fine. 

I am unable to sort out the fontenc package. My guess is that I need a
pointer to the ibycus font info, but I can't find a directory called T1
. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
