Herbert Voss identified part of my issue of an accented character in a bibiography citation is the bib_key. Removing the ã from the bib_key and leaving it in the first author's name produced the attached citation image.
In the doc's preamble I inserted: \usepackage{newunicodechar} \newunicodechar{ã}{\~{a}} but the resulting citation was still wrong. Can this be fixed? TIA, Rich -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
