The menu displays strange characters like ü or ö. Whats that?
Problem: You are running LyX (up to 1.4.x) on system which uses the unicode encoding. However, LyX cannot deal with this new encoding internally (this will change with version 1.5.0). As of LyX 1.4.0, LyX automatically switches to the appropriate encoding (except for the spellchecker, see below). A prerequisite for this to work, however, is that you have installed those old encodings (like latin1, for instance), besides unicode. If you haven’t, you get the above error. Solution: Install the appropriate encoding. The procedure depends on which distribution you are using.
