Well, yes I had read this already. My problem was that I never got it
working for me: Only ERT insertions like \textschwa did the job, the
math environment just switches back, so I get literally @ in my text.
I agree that inserting IPA chars is quite incovenient if you do this
with the normal character palette in OSX. But you have nice and nice
working helper palettes like <http://www.blugs.com/IPA/>. With this
free app you get an IPA chart where you just click on the symbols and
they are inserted in the currently chosen application.
While this works fine with all editors I know, Lyx accepts only
characters like e i ç and so on. Schwas and others are simply ignored
(nothing happens).
I think it would be really useful to get pasting into Lyx working and
I'd really like to contribute if I can (compiling apps is really
quite new to me, some things like compiling Gnupg which is well
documented worked, but I don't no much about setting the right
options/flags whatsoever).
The next step would be getting the pasted characters to typeset, but
first: how to get it on the screen?
Cheers,
Johannes
