I am using Lyx 1.4.1 and the german umlaute (ö, ü. ä, ß, etc.) are not displayed correctly in the menus. My System Locale is de_DE.utf8. They look like UTF-8 Characters which are displayed in an ISO-Environment (Ã,Ã,ö).

This is a known issue. I have attached the URL for the upstream bug.
Please note that the problem was solved when I upated to glibc-2.4-r3 and added proper "de_DE.UTF-8/UTF-8" to /etc/locales.build (The Howto on gentoo wiki was wrong;)) So I reckon this could be a user problem and not an upstream-bug after all. Florian
I guess your are right. Someone at the upstream bug also mentioned that it could be caused by lack of proper locale, but the bug is apparently still their in the GTK frontend. But since we don't support the GTK frontend until it is feature complete, i'll close this bug. Thanks for letting us know that it was fixed! :)
