  Hello all! I apologise if this has been asked to death, but is there any
 way to get a normal looking tilde? Like
  this -- ~? I want to use it instead of saying approximately but when I
 use the keyboard tilde
  (\textasciitilde) it appears at the top of the line in the pdf output
 instead of the middle where I want it.
  I've tried the tilde math symbol as well ($\sim$) but it's a bit too
 fancy
 haha. Any ideas?
 
  Cheers!

 I have figured this out. In your preamble use:

 \usepackage{tipa}

 and then instead of the tilde use:

 \textsuperimposetilde{}

 in ERT.

 This gets me a normal looking tilde for my uses.

Math mode → \textspace → ~ does the trick without ERT.

Re: Position of tilde

[sock]

I had a hell of a time with this problem too.
What I finally came up with was this: Use the regular keyboard tilde but add
subscript formatting to get it to appear at the middle of the character. You
can also add bold to make it more visible after that.
Like so many things in LyX you have to workaround it or spend 10 hrs
learning some useless programming knowledge to solve a problem.
Sorry this response is 3 years late ;_;

Note that this is a feature (aka bug) of the LaTeX default font
(Computer Modern), which uses the accent tilde in the text tilde
position. If you switch to another font (for instance the
similar-looking Latin Modern Roman), you'll get the correct tilde
right away.

Nothing we can do in LyX here, I'm afraid.
