Considering the amount of time I had to spend in documents which did not run

would be nice to have a feature (or an external prg) checking for those
characters.
I am often searching in a data bank such as medline for references which I
enter into Jabref, my reference manager. Exporting it into the lyx document
is easy, just a click on the lyx icon in Jabref, but finding the bothering
reference(s) after trying to export the pdf file is in my hands often very
time consuming and frustrating.
I'd suggest reporting this to the JabRef folks. Perhaps they should have
an option to save in something other than UTF-8, and even to convert
illegal characters to LaTeX equivalents.
