Yet, I can't help thinking there's something "special" with the LyX main edit window. I mean, I have several other Qt apps (Filezilla, Scribus, Clementine...)--though I don't use them half as much as LyX. None of them has this problem. Even in LyX, the dead keys do work well within the dialogs (e.g. file-save as). It's only the main window that shows the problem. Moreover, I could check that the dead keys did work properly within LyX just freshly installed in a live-USB session. I'm puzzled. As long as my workaround works, all is well... but if it fails eventually, I'll be in trouble. -- Daniel CLEMENT

Agreed, this is just wrong list to ask for the fix, the problem is either in the config of X/DM or Qt code and it might be difficult to spot who is actually responsible for the problem... Pavel

The most easiest solution is to set an appropriate database encoding in JabRef's database properties dialog: http://help.jabref.org/en/DatabaseProperties The encoding should match the encoding of the LyY document (which is ISO-8859-15 by default for English and German documents and utf8 if you use "non-TeX fonts", i.e. XeTeX or LuaTeX). Jürgen Yes, Jürgen, that is the best way. I had both (Lyx, Jabref) encodings set on utf8, but do not use XeTex or LuaTeX Wolfgang

On Linux, if you have the GNU version of grep installed, one of the answers at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3001177/how-do-i-grep-for-all-non-ascii-characters should work. (I like the one that uses :ascii: in the pattern.) Paul Thanks, Paul, I use LMint. Will try tomorrow Wolfgang This seems to be quite nice, but I haven't tried it yet. https://pteo.paranoiaworks.mobi/diacriticsremover/ Don't know whether it works also with along bib file. Wolfgang
