After reading the following exchange, I downloaded the cyrillic cmcyr fonts and started to learn how to install them, only to find out that the (unpatched) fonts were already a part of teTeX for Mac. Lots of hard work avoided.
My question is simply - what ERT or preamble does one need to add, and what config changes are needed to use these fonts in the printed output?
Help me please! How can I create with LyX pdf-file, in which vector cyrillic fonts are used?
You can install the cmcyr-fonts: ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/fonts/cyrillic/cmcyr/
But don't forget to install the patched fonts: ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/fonts/cyrillic/cmcyr-encoding-patch/
You have to change the encoding. You find a detailed description how to use cyrillic here:
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/latex/doc/cyrguide.pdf
(cyrguide should be part of your LaTeX-distribution)
The babel option (language) is set in the menu Edit->Preferences->Language.
The encoding for 'inputenc' could be changed in the menu Layout->Document->Language->Encoding.
The encoding for 'fontenc' must be changed in the preamble, e.g. add \usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}. (In LyX with XForms, it can be set in the preferences, but I can't find this menu in LyX with QT.)
Is this a bug or have I overseen it?
regards Uwe
