Hi, I addressed this in another mail but no one seemed to answer and I can't really find any posts about how exactly to use this great new feature in 1.5.0. I'd like to use it for my Sanskrit assignment if I can to test it out. I've tried it with both Sanskrit text and Japanese, and both of them said this once I changed the encoding to UTF8:
Package inputenc Error: unicode char \u8: (character) not set up for use with LaTeX Then I tried putting \usepackage{ucs} in the preamble as I saw something about it in an old LyX post. Now it gives a different error message, but pretty much the same thing - Package ucs error: Unknown Unicode character 12399 = U+306F (for example with Japanese hiragana HA) Then it gives this in the info: HIRAGANA LETTER HA Character available with following options: cjkjis. Enter I!<RET> to define the glyph. Umm, kind of funny that it's saying it doesn't know what the unicode char is but then goes out and says what it is in the info. When I do put cjkjis in the options, it doesn't help, it just has a bunch of "undefined control sequence" errors. Similar thing for Sanskrit - it whines about putting combine into the options, but when I do, it just gives me a bunch of "undefined control sequence" stuff. I know that 1.5.0 is in its alpha stages but I hope that the final version makes this stuff a little more transparent for the user - I wouldn't want to have to hack around with the preamble every time I play with a new script.
