I ran into the same problem because my document has Greek characters copied from a word document. What I did was copying and pasting a paragraph to a new document, and removing texts until it can be compiled. Then, I remove or change the offending characters in the original document. This took me a long time! I have complaint this in lyx-devel and Greek characters are correctly handled now. I believe that people are work on highlighting offending characters and giving more meaningful error messages. I think that the forthcoming 1.5.3 will have these features. Cheers, Bo
