Notepad is writing a BOM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte-order_mark) at the start of your file. You cannot see it in an editor but od reveals it: $ od -c msuthesis2.layout | head -3 0000000 357 273 277 # % D o n o t d e l 0000020 e t e t h e l i n e b e l 0000040 o w ; c o n f i g u r e d e The octal values 357 273 277 correspond to ef bb bf in hexadecimal, i.e., the BOM. This confuses LyX, apparently. Even if a BOM is not necessary for UTF8, it is allowed by the standard and thus LyX should take it into account. I suggest that you file a bug report. -- Enrico
