How to set up LyX under Windows to use it for Armenian
To use Armenian, you must use LyX 1.5.1 or newer.
Installation
- Install LyX for Windows using the official installer or this alternative installer
- Install the package armtex using MiKTeX's Package Manager.
- Install the Armenian spell checker from here or here
- If LyX doesn't correctly accept your keyboard input, open the menu Tools → Preferences try to use a keyboard map as shown in this screenshot. Then click Save and restart LyX.
Testing the Installation
- Run LyX and press Ctrl-N to open a new document. Write a few words in English, and press Ctrl-D.
Yap, MiKTeX's DVI-preview program should be opened; check that it displays the text correctly.
- Open another document and call the menu Document → Settings.
Select there in the Document class drop-list the class article (Armenian), select there in the Languages section Armenian,
press OK and type in a few words. Press Ctrl-D and check the output.
Possible problems
- If you do not see Armenian, check that LyX's preferences are properly set (Check if the screen fonts support Armenian).
Notes
- In LyX's examples folder you find the file armenian-article.lyx where you can see how Armenian can be used together with Latin characters and other languages.
- It is possible to add new templates to LyX. Place the template files in
~:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\lyx15\templates. Then reconfigure LyX by using the menu Tools → Reconfigure and restart LyX.
