 Whatever you do in kile, you should principally be able to do with ERT in
 LyX (ERT = Evil Red Text, which is a method how to write LaTeX commands
 directly in LyX). Generally speaking, the true solution for your problem of
 multi-encoded documents will come when LaTeX will fully support Unicode,
 which is unfortunately not the case yet.

Thank you, that was it! 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.

beginner question: cyrillic

2005-01-27 Thread Christopher Winkler
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
