Re: Chinese Characters in Lyx 2.02
OK, I've now figured out how to write Chinese in Lyx 2.02. Apologies for all
who have no interest in this whatsoever, but since a brief perusal of the forum
shows that many have struggled with the same problem, and that much of the
advice given in the forum is now outdated (due to the improvements since Lyx
1.4, 1.5 etc.), I thought it might be helpful to share the instructions:
1. Write the following code into the Latex Preamble (Document -- Settings --
Latex Preamble ):
\usepackage{CJKutf8}
\usepackage[overlap, CJK]{ruby}
\newenvironment{SChinese}{%
\CJKfamily{gbsn}%
\CJKtilde
\CJKnospace}{}
\newcommand{\cntxt}[1]{\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{}\begin{SChinese}#1\end{SChinese}\end{CJK}}
2. Then, when you want to write Chinese in the text, do the following:
Open a Tex Box (in menu, 6th button from right). Into the Tex box then write
the following command [replacing the characters below with whatever Chinese you
want to write].
\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{}\begin{SChinese}整治\end{SChinese}\end{CJK}

I tried again the instructions from this wiki page (which I wrote myself
by the way), and it still works for me.
On which platform are you ? If you are at Windows, you need to make
sure that MikTeX has installed the packages has installed cjk and
arphic. Then you need to refresh the filename database of MikTeX.
I'll try cjk-fonts and XeTeX as well.

I am under the impression that in Lyx 2.02, the CJK packages are already installed. Do I need to write some code *somewhere* to activate/begin using them? If so, where? (e.g. Under Documents --> LaTex Preamble?) Or do I indeed first need to download them from somewhere?
