This means that LyX gave invalid unicode to iconv when converting to ASCII. I think this would be worth investigating, not because export to XeTeX of this document is important, but because this bug may appear in other, more important circumstances as well: French does only need the latin1 subset of unicode, which is covered 100% by lib/unicodesymbols. Therefore, LyX should be able to export to pure ASCII. Even if that is not possible for some reason, it should tell the user (the "uncodable character" warning), and it should never ever send invalid unicode to iconv. IMHO it would be a good idea to create a bug report (not demanding working XeTeX export, but for fixing the iconv error). Georg
