The accents or characters with accents? You need a screen-font that supports the Greek extended characters. Both, Plato and Homer work fine here with LyX 1.6.4 and the DejaVu fonts. > and then when = I go to export it to PDF or use the DVI I get the > following error = message=E2=80=A6 > Could not find LaTeX command for character '=E1=BD=B0' (code point = > 0x1f70) I had to realize that the Greek-extended patch is not yet in 1.6.4. So either you * wait for 1.6.5 * copy the file unicodesymbols from the system LYXDIR to your personal lyx-dir (~/.lyx in Unix) and apply the patch http://www.lyx.org/trac/attachment/ticket/4997/unicodesymbols-greek-extended-charxxx.patch * set the language to polytonic greek and the encoding to utf8x (see http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg72834.html) > Some characters of your document are probably not representable in the = > chosen encoding. > Changing the document encoding to utf8 could help. This is a misleading hint. Changing to utf8 will almost never help in this case, as fontencs' utf8 supports only a small subset of UTF-8 characters (far less than LyX itself). Instead, utf8x should be used: Document>Settings Language Encoding [x] Other: Unicode (ucs-enhanced) (utf8x) Günter
