 Possibly related: I posted a query here a week or so ago but had no

 lyx to use a different locale but in my case it doesn't seem to have any
 adverse effects.

Concerning locales, the situation will be different (hopefully much
better) with lyx 1.5.2. Please report at this time if you have

Thanks for all of these comments. Actually, I was able to resolve the
issue by the inelegant means of changing 2 or 3 Greek words in the
text back to transliterations. This is a temporary measure, but it
makes the document work again. What wasn't clear to me from the
message was that it related to a Greek character set   I'll come
back to the question of getting Greek in (I'm sure its very simple) at
a later point.
Thanks again,

Declan

This is on Debian Sid.



I don't think it's related, other than tangentially.

Chapter 4 of Help - Customization talks a bit about locales and which 
environment variables to tweak.  AFAIK, LyX is geared to using xx_XX 
codes for languages (e.g., en_GB if you like all those extra letters in 
your words).  I don't know if setting an environment variable to 
en_GB.UTF8 will work; LyX might not recognize it.


Being neither a Debian user nor a user of non-default locales, all I can 
suggest is the following.  In lyx root/Resources/ you should find a 
file named languages.  The entry for British is


british british British false  iso8859-15 en_GB  

At least I assume from the first three fields that it's British.  :-)

You might try either of the following tweaks:

1.  change iso8859-15 to UTF-8; or
2.  change en_GB to en_GB.UTF8.

Then save, move a safe distance from the computer Just In Case, and 
restart LyX.


Good luck,
Paul

Run 'kpsewhich iso-8859-7.def'.  On my system, it's sitting in 
texroot/tex/latex/greek/.  If yours is missing, you can find it on 
CTAN (for instance, at

Possibly related: I posted a query here a week or so ago but had no
replies. When I run lyx I get a message saying: Locale en_GB could not

lyx to use a different locale but in my case it doesn't seem to have any
