I use the SIunits package for latex to do all my units. It is a bit
cumbersome until you get the hang of it but then works great. I just
include it in the LyX preamble, here is what I use in the preamble for
siunits:
%%%%%%%%%%%%% new commands using SIunits.sty %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\usepackage[thickqspace,thickspace,amssymb]{SIunits}
\usepackage{amssymb,amsmath,amsbsy,amsfonts}
\newcommand{\ev}{\electronvolt}
\newcommand{\kg}{\kilogram}
\newcommand{\cm}{\centi\meter}
\newcommand{\npcmcubed}{\cm\rpcubed}
\newcommand{\npcmsquared}{\cm\rpsquared}
\newcommand{\npsecond}{\reciprocal\second}
\newcommand{\nm}{\nano\meter}
\newcommand{\mps}{\meter\per\second}
\newcommand{\npmps}{\meter\usk\npsecond}
Cheers,
Brian

I'm starting to write my thesis in Lyx and it so happens that I need to
use microns(?) in my physical units alot. But I can't get a non-italic ? in
math mode. Unicode doesn't seem to work either I get error messages:
Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:μ not set up for use with LaTeX.
Does anyone know what I should do?
I'm using lyx-1.5.0beta3 and miktex on winxp.
Thanks
Rob
