But I actually think the problem was that the Lyx file was in utf8x and Openoffice did not like that. I eventually found an encoding that worked. I also found out that some fonts worked and some didn't, for the ligature problem. I seem to remember that the Bera family and Adobe minionpro (my default ones) did not, while CM and derivatives eventually worked. As I said, I eventually got the job done, but I shiver at the thought of repeating the experience, as I will have to do on a much bigger scale in a couple of months.
