For whatever reason, LyX can't digest it.
Have a look at the RELEASE-NOTES:
Known issues with version 1.5.0
------------------------------------
- User layout files must be converted to UTF-8
In previous versions, layout styles were allowed to use non-ASCII names
using the local encodings. LyX-1.5 now assumes that all layout files are
UTF-8 encoded. This means that non-ASCII style names are still allowed
but they must be valid UTF-8 strings. One way of doing the conversion
is to use iconv. Using bash, the script below should work:
#! /bin/sh
cd /path/to/layouts
for l in *
do
cp "$l" tmp.txt
iconv -f latin1 -t utf8 tmp.txt -o "$l"
done
rm -f tmp.txt
Actually, it was iconv that spit up the error message about the illegal
byte sequence in Erwin's layout file. Also, I used an editor
(Notepad++) to convert the layout file. Notepad++ reported the original
as being ASCII, despite the presence of the copyright character. I
saved it as UTF-8 (or so Notepad++ said); the copyright symbol was still
there and iconv was still unhappy. Maybe I need to use something other
than Notepad++ for conversions (?).
Fortunately, manual conversion (backspace over the copyright symbol)
worked (which Erwin confirmed). :-)
