Hi @,This is my first post here and I couldn't really spend many days sifting through archives to avoid repeating, so if the answer to this has been given before I apologize and would appreciate a quick pointer. I'm still in the getting-started phase.
Attached is a screenshot showing two problems:1. The letter "ĵ", a special letter of the Esperanto language, is represented as a black box in pdf and dvi output. This happens with most available fonts save a very few (used here is Palatino). I'll have to do a row of experiments to find out exactly which ones. Strangely, all other 5 diacritical letters used in Esperanto work fine. They are part of the ISO 8859-3 charset, which I use for this document (utf-8 produces an error with latex upon exporting - I may post a separate message about this later if I don't find what's missing).
If I produce the very same document in OpenOffice with the very same fonts, everything is fine. That is, I'm just guessing they are the same because they're the same names. Does Lyx use own font files or aren't they part of the system?
2. The line formatting isn't exactly as expected, some simply seem to escape justification. Is it because I don't have en Esperanto dictionary installed and it doesn't know how to properly hyphenate? This shouldn't actually affect line length.
I am with Lyx 1.6.1 under Kubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) on a Thinkpad T61p. The document used for trying this out is an Esperanto translation of Ayn Rand's "Anthem" and uses the 'book' template.
Thanks, Klaus
