Hi Wolfgang,

My situation is not exactly yours but after a recent upgrade of Zotero I started getting a number of errors with my bibliography, the final one (after solving a couple of others) had to do with unicode characters, including in particular those with Umlauts. I finally solved this by adding "bibencoding=utf8" to the Citation Style options under Document → Settings → Bibliography. (I'm using biblatex.) I had tried including "utf8" among the Class options for the "article" document style (following a suggestion I found while trying to diagnose the problem), but to no avail. I have found that option to be unnecessary after adding the above to the Citation Style options. I hope this might help.

Thanks, Chris,
I followed your proposal, but get this

dist/tex/latex/natbib/natbib.sty

Package: natbib 2010/09/13 8.31b (PWD, AO)

! LaTeX Error: Unknown option `bibencoding=utf8' for package `natbib'.
Perhaps you could tell me, what you used in the citation style frame in
style format
variant format
default bibtex style
processor?

I have only 5 style formats to choose from, 2 of them for biblatex, 1 basic(Bibtex) which is numeric -can't use it, jurabib gives only ?? for the citations, and natbib see the error above. Could this be due to the situation I describe in another mail (lyxpipe sent today at at 13:49) > empty folders?
I am quite desparate, since I can't get it working
Wolfgang
