Re: degree symbol in LyX on Linux with Compose key

2007-03-16 Thread John Pye
Hi again, FWIW Ignacio García pointed out on lyx-users that, in Ubuntu, the sequence works, and I checked it and that's right. The big question now is why does that sequence work in LyX when in all my other programs is the one??? By the way, I note that works in K3B, another Qt-based program.

It seems that part of the issue could be that Ubuntu has a local that uses unicode. Not sure what that means in detail, but perhaps it's a difference from Solaris? Whether there is a native compose key or not is not really the issue, AFAICT. The issue is: why would characters fail to appear in LyX
