Thanks for the reply. I do not understand:
What you see is that your text editor uses the wrong encoding to display the
text. Text-files like TeX output are on Windows by default coded in the
encoding CP-1252.
I do not think this explains the problem. LyX exports a tex file. Both my
collaborators and I can typeset this file correctly. But they (several
different individuals) can not make sense of the tex file, I guess because they
do not use the same encodings as LyX. Since they are editing the tex file
directly this is a problem.
Now I don't understand you. Can you please send a small LyX example file and what you get when you
export to LaTeX?
The LaTeX-file created by LyX is a text file. When you created it on LyX on Windows its encoding is
CP-1252. So when the "several different individuals" ;-) open it, they only have to assure that they
are using the same encoding for this file in their editor. (Using the encoding latin9 or latin1
will also work.)
OK, there might a problem when you send the TeX files as attachement of mails because mail programs
will usually convert the encoding to Unicode or use Unicode as encoding. This applies for all text
files, so zip them and attach the ZIP file to your mail.
