Not only. It could also fail if somebody writes some japanese words in a german document without changing thelanguage. Then LyX will try to convert the hebrew characters from utf8 to latin1, and that fails of course. Another case could be that the requested conversion is not supported by the iconv implementation. I am not sure whether there are other cases. > How about adding assertion? That will not work in the cases described above, we should give an error message instead. Georg
