LyX ⇒ Please help - weird export

[Stefan R.]

Greetings,

I have been using LyX for a while now, but only in English. Now, I am working on a document in Romanian, a language which uses certain special letters. I have set the language to Romanian - and all the letters appear normally in the framework - but when I export to *.pdf, these two: "ş" and "ţ" appear as "o" and "þ". Is a certain language pack necessary? If so, can you please tell me where to get it?

I apologize if this is a repost, but I did look around before I wrote this.

Hope you can help, thank you!

I'm not using using LyX, but documents should have a preamble as known from usual source code. Add the babel package and switch to Romanian language.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[romanian]{babel}

Special characters should work now. More information is available with according documentations of the other mentioned packages.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Greetings,
Thank you for your answer, bur as I looked through the file "romanian.dtx" from the babel archive, I saw none of the letters I need.
I must point out that these letters appear in the LyX interface as I imported a *.tex file (which I previously converted to from a *.doc file ), but two of them do not when I export to *.pdf.
I have also noticed that the babel instalation is rather tricky - isn't there a package with a simple *.exe installation or something close to this?
I find myself in an umpleasant emergency to finish the book by Saturday and this is my last issue.
Thank you again for the post, but it seems that I still need help!

Best regards,
Stefan R.

Try \c{s} and \c{t}. It seems similar to writing French: for example, fran\c{c}ais yields "français".
