Hello, I am a complete beginner, but I would like to transfer my dissertation from Word to LyX (either manually or automatically). I have LyX 1.5.6 (the version that comes in the repositories) installed in my computer that runs Ubuntu 8.4. I have been trying to use lyx for the parts of my text in Japanese, but every time I export to DVI it says the fonts are missing, which is strange since I have installed all the Japanese related packages. Another thing is that I would like to use Times Ext Roman, a unicode ttf font with all the diacritics I need, but I am not sure I can use it with Lyx. Another thing still is that I would like to use the Classic Thesis template, but substitute the main font with Times Ext and have Hiragino otf for the Japanese. I am reading various posts, but the entire process is a bit confusing. Hope someone can help. All the best,
Clemente
