I've made some researches and I've read about XeTeX. I use MikTeX, the last release, and it contains XeTeX. It should be possible to use XeTeX whit LyX but I can't do it. I've read something about the conversion in the format output PDF (xetex) but it is not present in the list that I've found in ToolsPreferencesFile HandlingConverters. It seems like LyX doesn't find XeTeX even if it's yet installed. What could I do? The expert on XeTeX is Jurgen: Not really (I do not use XeTeX myself). Anyway, for LyX 1.6, you need to set up LyX for the use of XeTeX. A HowTo is here: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/XeTeX Don't hesitae to ask here on the list if things remain unclear. As Richard wrote, LyX 2.0 will have some more native XeTeX support. There, your work reduces to click a use XeTeX checkbox in DocumentSettings. But I would not recomment LyX 2.0svn yet for serious work. HTH, Jürgen

But you might search the wiki for info. And you'll be pleased to hear that there will be support for XeTeX in LyX 2.0. If you're feeling a bit adventurous, you can checkout svn and compile it. It's reasonably stable at the moment, though I'd stay away from anything that's currently under active development, like spellcheck and HTML output Richard
