I have get this error message, "Some characters of your document are not representable in the chosen encoding. Changing the encoding to utf.8 could help" But, for me, the problem is the path of the included figures. I have fixed the problem re-inserting the figures again. So, the absolute path changes to relative path and the pdf output works now. Includes figures your document? If so, try insert the figures again. Regards Ignacio

What if you change Document->Settings->language->Encoding to something else? This looks like a latex configuration problem. Bo

You may also want to try the latest svn version of lyx, which can highlight the offending characters. A windows installer is available at http://www.lyx.org/~bpeng/LyX-1.5.4svn-2008-01-04-Installer.exe . Of course you are then under the risk of using a unofficial release of lyx. Bo

I tried the iconv tool, but that did not work on my XP machine...are there any other tricks that i might have missed? The iconv tool works fine for me under Win XP. Was it that iconv itself did not work for you (produced an error), or just that it failed to rectify the problem? IIRC, iconv does not specifically identify characters that fail to convert, but you can run the conversion and then diff the files to see what changed. Other than that, you might try deleting and reinserting chunks of the document (preferbably on a backup copy) to see if you can isolate where the problem character(s) lie. /Paul

Hi All, I wanted to change something in my PhD thesis (written in German under Lyx1.4.x on a windows system) but it's not possible to get a pdf-file of my document under lyx1.5.2 (windows). When i try to build the pdf I get an error message which tells me that I should change to the "Dokumentenkodierung" to the utf-8 format. However I have no clue how to do so. I tried the iconv tool, but that did not work on my XP machine...are there any other tricks that i might have missed?
