Oh, sorry!
Only now I understood what you've said.
I did this:
a. copied the file unicodesymbols
from /usr/share/lyx1.5.1/unicodesymbols
to /home/peleg/.lyx1.5.1/unicodesymbols
b. opened the copy with vim. there was no "0x03c8" string there at all,
so instead of modifying the file, I have added this line:
0x03c8 "\\textgreek{y}" "textgreek" "" "mathalpha" "\\psi" #
GREEK SMALL LETTER PSI
c. I have restarted LyX. Nothing has changed: I am clicking ψ on my
keyboard and getting the usual non-mathematical ψ.
d. I have tried to add the line to the original file in /usr/share/...
instead of in my home folder. restarted LyX. Still the same.
e. I have read this correspondance:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg129516.html
(well, not all of it...) - still couldn't understand.
Any ideas?
Thanks ahead,
Peleg.
