Thanks for the reply. The recode thing is a good suggestion. Now, given that greek is iso-8859-7(greek), but my language and keyboard setting is iso8859-1(latin1), how do I need to configure lyx to accept the greek text? I guess I somehow need to switch the encoding(s) in lyx? Sorry but I am not well-educated in that area yet. Do I need to mark the text as greek (Character->Language) as well? (Still using lyx 1.1 btw, 1.2 did not work for me - but does not matter.) Thanks for all help. Martin P.S. Sport frei! Sachsen rules!
