If this works, fine, you should be able to write Devanagari with the devanagari package loaded in Document>Settings>LaTeX Preamble and raw LaTeX (e.g. {\dn magna.m} in an "ERT box"). It should also be possible to import a LaTeX source file using the devanagari package. If the above (ERT+LaTeX preamble) work fine, it should be easy to create a module for devanagari support. > Please file a bug at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome.

However, as devanagari is not supported by "babel", the standard way of (8-bit) LaTeX language support, this is rather an enhancement request "Please add support for the devanagari package" than a bug. Alternatively, you can use XeTeX and Unicode input, together with a system font that supports the script. The polyglossia package supports several languages using the script - adding missing ones to the GUI language selection is a separate enhancement request. Günter
