Hallo Günter, thanks for trying to help. My original document is based on classicthesis.lyx v4.2 (biblatex_biber).However, as I am almost certain that classicthesis is NOT the culprit (and also for simplicity reasons) I attach two mini examples using the document class KOMA Script Article.
Evidently there seems to be an incompatibility with utf8 because the problem vanishes when replacing it with another encoding. I tried a number of other language encodings in my original document but was always rewarded serious errors. My document is rather voluminous and filled with linguistic elements.
It appears also that the problem applies to the whole category of symbols, meaning that none symbol of e.g. the same category 'Mathematical Operators' compiles. I also tried another five or six categories and all behaved equally bad.
Anyway, if you should need a mini file derived from my original document, please let me know.
Michael
