Re: Missing character
Auntie Gugel tells me via
https://unicodeplus.com/U+0098
that this (SoS) is the Tilde '~' but it probably does not matter.
I would first remove the reference
\ref{alg:Skript-zur PRC-Erzeugung}
If that does the trick, you may want to remove the space from the
Reference and corresponding Label.
If not remove everything from the (copy of the) document but the
offending line.
If that causes the error, remove that line from the original.
If that does the trick, retype the line carefully (without label and
refefrence.
If that works, put the label in.
If that works put the reference in.
If that gives you the error use my above shortcut and rename the
reference and (corresponding) label.

This character is the line separator. The error message can be safely ignored.
The same holds for 0x200c ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER (a missing character has the
same effect (preventing ligatures and kerning)
and maybe some other nonprintable characters. I suggest an exception list for
the missing-characters-warning-to-error feature.

The latex macro \AA is translated to

The Unicode standard says:

You can solve this by changing \AA to \r{A} in the bibtex file or by selecting
a font with 212B.

Hm. The LaTeX macro \AA *should* be translated to the Scandinavian letter Å, at
least according to some LaTeX manuals I have read through the years. As in

XeTeX/LuaTeX uses Unicode as font encoding (unless told otherwise). It is up to the user to ensure the selected font contains all the required characters. This is why it is a really helpfull addition that LyX now reports missing characters - previously this happened without notice (and thousands of ctest reported false positives). > But if I maually load the necessary packages and I instead of ERT for > \FiveStarOpen, it works fine. The problem appears to be that LyX is > trying to use the FiveStarOpen symbol directly from the font, but it is > not available. Correct. With Unicode fonts you will get a matching glyph (or none). With the macro as ERT, LaTeX selects a character from a package-provide TeX-font. > Does this happen because LyX does not know whether a certain symbol is > available in whatever font happens to be selected?

Because this very much depends on the fonts -- with Unicode fonts, it is really hard to tell which characters are present in advance. (Polyglossia tries to give advance warnings (actually errors) based on font metadata but gets it wrong quite often. Using the LaTeX command "for safety" is a bad idea, as it prevents use of the characters with comprehensive fonts and results in non-matching glyphs. Günter

Hi everybody, I've just installed Lyx and even though things went fairly smooth, I'm struggling with a bunch of minor issues. (Using the latest Lyx version, Mac OS 10.4.2, Powerbook with a german keyboard. Gerben Wierda's TeX, ghostscript8, Freetype2, libiconf, libwmf, ImaheMagick, cm-super packages, ran the Lyx Installer script) - Lyx won't recognize the ^ key at all (as in x^3 for x cubed). It does recognizeshift ^ though, which correctly yields°on my german keyboard. - Whenever I click View - DVI nothing happens. Am I not supposed to get some kind of window displaying the Latex source code??? I'm planning to word process my math assignments (bachelor of computer science), so any help is highly appreciated! Thanks again, Max

If not, LyX will tell your Mac to open it, but your Mac won't know what to do with it, and nothing will happen. I suspect that's your problem. To solve it, you can do any one of 3 things here: 1. In the Finder, find a .dvi file on your Mac (perhaps generated from LyX with File Export), and do File Get Info In the window that pops up, make sure your have a .dvi viewer selected in the Open With drop-down list, and click on the Change all button to make it the default for your Mac. 2. In LyX, go to File Preferences File Formats, and select DVI in the list, changing the Viewer field to open -a xxx, where xxx is the name of your .dvi viewer. Click the Modify button and then the Save button. This will make LyX use this viewer no matter what the OS default is. 3. Generate .PDFs instead of .DVIs (even choosing dvipdfm, if you like). Bennett
