OK – reply at the bottom... (Outlook doesn’t insert “>” symbol to

I have now **removed** the “c with acute accent” both from BibTeX and
from my document. I **still** get the “Missing glyphs!” error message,
even though this error message did not show up **prior to** the
insertion of the removed character... see below:
imap://parubin73%40gmail%2e...@imap.googlemail.com:993/fetch%3EUID%3E/LyX%20users%3E338?header=quotebody&part=1.2&filename=image001.png
Unfortunately, the error messages in LyX are not easy to figure out
:-(. I **assume** that the problem is caused by an incomplete removal
of the symbol???
In the past, I have had to copy and paste bit by bit of the original
document into a fresh document in order to get rid of such
undecipherable error messages...
Any ideas of a more intelligent way to “debug” the document?
Best regards,
Bernt
The first thing I would do (after backing up the document, just to be
safe) would be to remove the bibliography entirely. If the glyph
messages disappear, then we know the problem lies in the JabRef file. If
the glyph messages continue, I would try a bisection search. Delete half
the content of the document and recompile. That will tell you which half
contains the problem. If the problem disappeared, restore the deleted
portion and delete its complement. Iterate ad nauseum.
I've seen errors like that before that resulted from pasting something
(in my case, typically copied from a PDF file) into JabRef. The
character looks correct in JabRef, but has the wrong encoding to be used
in a LyX file (or LaTeX document). It might not be the accented c;
possibly something else was introduced into the JabRef file but not
tested (by viewing the PDF) until after the accented c was introduced.
Cheers,
Paul
