Dear Liviu, Thanks to your help I downloaded and installed LyX 2.0 (man, did it take some time to compile!), and can nowreport the results. Don't know which of them are LyX's bugs and which are features, so I'll just fire away:
1) I couldn't paste any text in LyX - neither from OpenOffice or from Character map (all this was possible in version 1.6), so the only way to input a sample text in LyX was to import a text file. 2) When I tried to make a pdf out of a Russian text containing obsolete characters, LyX returned the same error that version 2.0 did. 3) However (!), when I ticked the option "use XeTeX", all the Russian text, including obsolete characters, was successfully exported to... 3a) ... to an xhtml file. Now, my question is, how practical is that? How do I go about producing a nice-looking pdf? Regards, Andrey
