You have to introduce manually the oe ligature either by creating a latex
inset and inserting \oe{} for lowercase or \OE{} for the uppercase or you
can directly insert the symbol from the menu Insert -> Special Character ->
Symbols -> Latin Extended A
The oe ligature is not automatic because, in French, the ligature is done
only if oe is the diphthong and pronounced 'eu' (like coeur, oeuvre, boeuf,
soeur) or for some words coming from the Greek : OEdipe, OEnologue,
OEsophage, foetus. Purists will pronounce here Édipe, Énologue but normal
French pronounciation is Eudipe except for foetus which is pronounced fétus
You do not do the ligature if it is two vowels and pronounced o-é like
coercitif or a foreign word like Goethe.
