It will (not really, lyx2lyx will do that), but at the same time the document contents will be converted from the old encoding to utf8. > User's wouldn't like to suddenly have "1/2" replaced with an oe-ligature. Of course not, but the encoding change is totally transparent for the user. If the old document contained a "1/2" the new one will too. The only thing that is different is the actual code point that is written to the file. That is now the codepoint of "1/2" in utf8, not latin1. Georg PS: You should know that, or did you see that all your oe ligatures suddenly changed when you opened old documents in LyX 1.5svn? :-)
