LyX supports Hebrew quite well. See:
http://cs.haifa.ac.il/~dekelts/lyx/
I'm not sure about cantillation marks and punctuation marks, I never
used those.
As for greek, all I could find was this thread:

But I seem to recall that people used greek.
Hope this helps,

Exactly. \usepackage{microtype} will give you satisfying results for the most 
common fonts.
Microtype is the successor of the package pdfcprot, which did only character 
protusion. \usepackage{pdfcprot} will give you a quite good protusion with 
1.11b, at least if you are using palatino fonts (but no font expansion).

LyX wiki page about tables available and a question

[Uwe Sthr]

Hello LyXers,
I created a wiki page, that describes advanced table formatting,
multirow / multicolumn cells and customized formats
You can find it here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/Tables
just for information.
But there is a table, I wasn't able to create:
-
|   t   |   |
|   e   | text  |
|   x   |   |
|   t   |
|   x   |   |
|   e   | text  |
|   t   |   |
-
LyX offers to rotate the text in the multirow, but it not horizontally 
centered (it adheres on the right border). How can I center the text.?
The other problem is the row height - the first row is bibber than the 
second one, because the multirow has a fixed height. How can I adjust 
the height of the second row?

thanks and regards Uwe

Making an Index

[Rich Shepard]

  I just read the paragraph in the Extended Help doc on making an index. The
reference to have a look at the documentation which comes with your LaTeX
distribution to find out how to do things like nested entries, etc.
refers to the makeindex.dvi file, yes?
  I also see there are about 40 pages in TLC2 on index creation. My question
is about procedures. I assume that first I go through the document within
LyX and mark all terms I find that I want to include.
  Then I assume I need to manually work with the .tex file for subheadings,
see, see also and terms that are not actually in the text. Is this
correct?
  So, once terms are marked in the LyX document and LaTeX is run on that
file, all else is done on the .tex file in emacs. Yes?
Thanks,
Rich

Qt mods: LyX/Mac modifier keys

[Jason Woodard]

Hi,
Following an earlier discussion of how to change the modifier key 
bindings for Mac OS X, Chris Menzel asked me to post the changes I made 
to build a fixed version of 1.3.4:

Can you make your changes to Qt available so that Mac folks like me
don't have to ask you to recompile LyX every time a new version becomes
available?  :-)  I'd like to compile 1.3.5, but definitely need to 
avoid
that nasty, non-emacsy Ctrl-Cmd key mapping.
The patch needed for Qt 3.3.3 / LyX 1.3.5 is actually the same as the 
one I posted in September, but I'm reposting it at the end of this note 
for convenience.  To build 1.3.5, I downloaded the source distribution 
from ftp.lyx.org and followed the instructions in README.MacOSX, using 
Qt 3.3.3 and the configuration flags to make a build that works with 
both 10.2 and 10.3.  The only thing I did differently was to apply a 
patch file before compiling Qt.

To create the patch file, cut and paste the text at the end of this 
note into a plain text file; call it anything and put it anywhere you 
like.  (You can even paste the whole note--the patch program is very 
forgiving.)  Then, from the top of the Qt source hierarchy, issue the 
command:

patch -p0  YOUR-PATCH-FILE
where YOUR-PATCH-FILE is of course the path to the patch file you 
created.  Patch should respond with:

patching file src/kernel/qapplication_mac.cpp
Hunk #1 succeeded at 1225 (offset 281 lines).
That's it--the rest of the build should work as advertised.
(And now that you know how to fish, I shouldn't mention that I've 
posted a new binary at 
http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~jason/temp/lyx-1.3.5_macos-aqua-emacs.dmg, 
but there it is :-)

Please let me know if you encounter any difficulties.
regards,
-j
