I have been running it for the last couple of days, and do enjoy the fact that the user interface is now available in German (the language my Powerbook prefers ;-). However, there is one nuisance, and it concerns the German umlauts (a,o,u with little dots on top: ä,ö,ü). In LyX, they are displayed as a,o and u. So the Insert menu item is Einfügen in German, but LyX displays it as Einfugen. Is there a way this could be corrected? Or does it have something to do with the QT toolkit? I seem to recall that no such problems existed in the LyX 1.3.x branch, but there may have been changes in the toolkit since. That's a known problem with LyX on Mac, and we haven't figured out a good solution. Georg Kö reports (and I can confirm) that setting OUTPUT_CHARSET=iso8859-1 in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist works. (See the wiki for instructions on how to change things in environment.plist.) Doing this, however, changes the setting for *all* programs you launch, not just LyX, and that may have negative side effects. Clearly, a better solution is needed. Bennett= Bennett -- thanks for the quick reply, and sorry to hear that the problem seems difficult to solve. Is there any way to switch the interface language to English just for LyX? For if I change the OUTPUT_CHARSET variable to iso8859-1, the user interface in LyX is fine, but a side effect is that the pdf files I generate from LyX are totally garbled :-( So this is no solution.
