Great! For all interested in how to do this: Get the cyrillic.sty package from your closest ctan-sever. Install it into the proper LaTeX-Folder. Run texhash as root. Start LyX and let it reconfigure. Than add \usepackage{cyrillic} to the LaTeX-Preamble in the format/document section. Than add any text with latin letters with ERT and the command \textcyrsf{any text}. Then start dvi and be happy! For further questions - ask me. Christopher

beginner question: cyrillic
Hello, I had worked with OOo before and I am in the process of changing my office suite to LaTeX/Lyx. That means that I may bother you quite regularly now. My needs are quite basic (indeces, bibtex), since I do not need spreadsheets and formulas. In short time I am going to start to write my history dissertation and I am checking out the two programs that seem to be suitable for me, i.e Lyx, which I am enthusiastic about, and Kile, which I am less enthusiastic about. I am working my way through the lyx-documentation and have a problem now that is crucial for me. My main text, which is going to be in German, will contain quite a lot of cyrillic cites. Well, I am able to do that in Kile (with cyrillic.sty) quite easily, but I can't manage to do it in Lyx. I either put the whole document in cyrillic and write the rest in English (without German umlauts using koi-8) or, using latin-1, I cannot use cyrillic. (I cannot convince latin-5 to write in cyrillic either). Where is my mistake? Is there something which can be done about that easily? Thank you for your help Christopher
