I have not investigated the problem, but the Trolltech Qt library, on which LyX/Mac is based, apparently has some problems with Russian encoding. A quick search of Google shows quite a few complaints about the lack of KOI-8 suport in the Trolltech Qt library, and even the documentation for the lyx-math fonts includes this warning: "If you're using a locale such as LANG=ru_RU, and some others, these fonts will not load in Qt. This is a Qt bug that Troll Tech refuse to fix." -- Ronald Florence www.18james.com
