Hmm I had not thought of that, but just now tried it.

Firefox to both Word and LibreOffice: Utter failure. The text is present but 
all formatting is lost and equations are complete garbage. No figures were 
transferred.

Safari to both: Much better. Formatting is preserved. Equations are much less 
mangled but still not usable, and not recognized as equations. Figures were 
lost but captions and figure numbers were intact.

It't not a surprise that figures didn't make it since they aren't included in 
the XHTML file.

Also, it's only a little surprising that Firefox faired much worse than Safari 
because WebKit-based browsers on OS X, when cutting and pasting to any other 
program, retain font and related information perfectly, whereas Firefox passes 
only the generic text with no formatting.

 Do you refer both to the PDF output and the LyX-internal display? I

 that the display in the LyX view is broken, but I do not understand why
the

 Did you use

 \setmainfont[Script=Devanagari]{Chandas}

 in the preamble, while having Use non-TeX fonts checked and having
selected
 _no_ particular font from the dropdown boxes?
 This setting seems to work for me. However, I cannot read Devanagari, so I
 cannot really judge whether the output is correct.


 As far as the LyX view is concerned, the problem comes from the fact that
we
 paint character by character, which breaks ligatures. As far as I can
see, the
 situation improves if you put the following line in your preferences file
in
 ~/.lyx (if you do not have a preferences file, do an arbitrary change in
 Tools  Preferences, and it will be generated):

 \force_paint_single_char false

 You also might need to uncheck Spellcheck continuously in Tools

 This workaround probably has some disadvantages (else we would not force
this

can someone review my edits to "Setting a different language" wiki page?

2013-01-29 Thread Scott Kostyshak 
This is my first time experimenting with changing the user interface
language of LyX. I updated an old wiki page and would appreciate it if
someone could review this page and make sure I did not delete
workarounds that are still necessary:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/SettingLANG

Thanks,

Scott

Good. Note, though that you are likely to get cursor placement
problems to to the \force_draw_single_char change. You should add this
warning also to the wiki.
