Uwe - Here are five small files.
1. Example.tex---from collaborator. 2. Example.lyx---my LyX import 3. ExampleCopy.lyx---my copy before exporting 4. ExampleCopy.tex---Export to collaborator. My tex editor has changed the accents, but I do not care because I use tex. 5. ExampleCopy.pdf---what I see when I typeset (4) is correct. My collaborator can typeset (4) correctly, as can I (see(5)), but cannot make sense of the tex file when he tries to edit it, because his editor interprets the symbols differently (actually differently from mine). For me it does not matter because I use LyX, but for him it does matter, because he is editing the tex file. I am not sure what you will see in the second tex file with your editor, but what I see, and what my collaborator sees in the tex file is not encoded correctly. Maybe by changing editor settings, etc. my collaborator could fix this, but it would be much better not to need to do so. Thanks, Hal
