greek characters

[Maria Gouskova]

Hi Paolo,

The line on top in the PDF appears because you have 'fancy' selected under
Page Layout; normally you'd specify running headers with that layout that
would appear above the line. Set it back to "default" if you don't want the
line.

I couldn't reproduce your problem. The π shows up correctly in the PDF for
me regardless of the encoding I choose.

What are you trying to do? If you're using Greek letters in a math context,
you do not need to change the encoding. Just enter math mode (see
Help>Math) and type \pi, \alpha, \tau, etc. along with all the other math
stuff you need. LyX out-of-the-box default settings will make it show up
correctly.
