Wow! It is actually very difficult to guess where each
accent comes
from... I guess it is some bug in the handling of
character height,
but I am not sure.
Bennett, do you see this bug too?
I do -- both in 1.3.7 and 1.4.0. (And your guess about
character height seems right fro what I see.)
Running lyx with -dbg fonts doesn't reveal anything: all
fonts are properly recognized. Moreover, even in Stefano's
document, entering accents manually seems to work just
fine. Thus, I can re-type the text following "TEST:" in
his document, and it appears just fine. Cutting and
pasting the text I just entered into the original position
in the document produces accents where they belong.
However, cutting and pasting the original text to a new
paragraph at the end of the document produces the weird
accents.
Perhaps this will help track it down: taking just one word
("générale") from the buggy text and pasting it at the end
of the document produces the weird accents -- located one
line above where they should be. Entering new text in
front of this word in the same paragraph moves "generale"
forward in the line -- without moving the accents;
similarly, deleting text (with <Delete>) in front of
"générale" moves just "generale" backwards in the line,
leaving the accents in place. However, deleting a word at
a time or deleting selected text in front of "générale"
moves the whole thing -- accents and all. (Is that clear?)

PS: I have to admit that the citation you include in the
text does not
parse as french to me :)
Gee. That's what my wife says about my English! Must be
some philosopher disease.
