OK, is the following useful? Pasting the UTF8-apostrophe: ’ into a LyX 1.6.2 ERT box results in an uncompilable document (attached) with the following errors Error 84 returned from iconv when converting from UCS-4LE to ISO-8859-15: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character Converted input: Stopped at: 0x2019 Unconverted input: Converted output: Error 84 returned from iconv when converting from UCS-4LE to ISO-8859-15: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character Converted input: Stopped at: 0x2019 Unconverted input: Converted output: Error 84 returned from iconv when converting from UCS-4LE to ISO-8859-15: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character Converted input: Stopped at: 0x2019 Unconverted input: Converted output: File '/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.J11284/lyx_tmpbuf0/UTF_apostrophy.tex' was not closed properly. (if it is pasted outside a ERT box, we get \textquoteright{}, and everything works correctly) -- John C. McCabe-Dansted PhD Student University of Western Australia
