Re: Lyx and language depended characters / A Unicode Problem?
Hi Andrei, Henning, I think your problem is that the locale you're using is still unicode-based, no matter if its de_DE or [EMAIL PROTECTED] What you need to do is define a truly latin-1 locale, that is smth like de_DE.iso-8859-1 (or similar), and then follow the advice above and do $ LANG=de_DE.iso-8859-1 lyx. Also, check that the document or character language is set to German, it'll help. I think that's my problem. PS: I don't know about Gentoo, since I love my Debian (and it's been a while since I ran into any locale-specific problems :), but on the other hand, it shouldn't be problem for you as a Gentoo user to compile the necessary locale from source, if it's not available in ebuilds =) Maybe I should know that...:-S... I added «userlocales» to the USE-flags and «de_DE.iso-8859-1/iso-8859-1» to /etc/locales.build - and recomplied glibc. After that I entered: localedef -c -f iso-8859-1 -i de_DE de_DE.iso-8859-1 Now my «locale -a | grep de» gives following output: de_DE [EMAIL PROTECTED] de_DE.iso88591 de_DE.utf8 Where are the dashes left?? But ok, so I enterd: LANG=de_DE.iso88591 lyx (and also I tried:) LANG=de_DE.iso-8859-1 lyx but I still have my problem :-(. Can you tell me, where I made a mistake? Thanks, Henning

Re: Lyx and language depended characters / A Unicode Problem?
Thanks for the first answers, Correct, but this shouldn't be necessary as lyx usually have no problems with ö or most of the other latin non-ascii characters. [..] Lyx works with various latin encodings such as iso8859-1, unicode support is planned for version 1.5. can you give me a hint, how can I make that X-windows send the key-events in latin-charset to lyx? (And not in utf-8 like now) I am using Gentoo, so I checked the unicode depended packages: USE=-unicode emerge -Np world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] app-editors/nano-1.3.7 [ebuild R ] app-misc/mc-4.6.0-r14 [ebuild R ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.13-r1 [ebuild R ] sys-libs/ncurses-5.4-r6 [ebuild R ] dev-util/dialog-1.0.20050206 I guess it must be something in baselayout, but I don't have a clue.
