Subject: LyX bug?
I think you've mentioned before that lyx creates weird latex sometimes for
character changes. I think the example you gave was for underlined
sans-serif. I think I've found another bug, but I wanted to check with you
before sending it to the list.
In a tex document, I write:
{\small 12 \AA is a lot}
reLyX (correctly :) creates lyx that says:
\size small
12
\latex latex
\backslash AA
\latex default
is a lot
\size default
When I view dvi, I get different results. Specifically, I get "12 �is a
lot" for latex (correct latex behavior, though it looks bad), and "12� is
a lot" for lyx. That's wrong! It's even worse in the poster I'm writing,
where I have a latex newcommand defined as "�ngstr�m", and when I try to
write the plural, the 's' ends up being its own word.
It appears that the latex created confuses the commands. When I export the
above example, I get:
{\small 12}{\small \AA} {\small is a lot}{\small \par}
Bad!
Any thoughts?
