> KarlHi Karl, I can reproduce your problem (thank you for sending a minimal example). if you open your .lyx file and go to "View Source" you will see "<LyX Warning: uncodable character '氣'>". To fix this, you can select the character and go to Edit > Text Style > Customized and set Language to "Chinese". From now on, you can select text and right click and go to "Language" in the right-click menu (you couldn't before because there was only one language. By the way, it's always useful in questions like these if we state our OS, LyX version and TeX distribution because sometimes a problem has to do with that. I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 and an up-to-date TeX Live 2013. I've tested my above instructions on 2.0.xgit (soon to be 2.0.7) and 2.1git (soon to be 2.1). Best, Scott
