LyX ⇒ Can any one explain this error?

[lyxer]

Hi all,

I'm using Lyx 2.0.2 on macbook pro. Yesterday, I tried copying a lyx file
from on folder to a new location. When I compiled the file I got this error:

" The path of your document (/users/ ........ /Exam/)
contains glyphs that are unknown in the current
document encoding (namely). This may result in
incomplete output, unless TEXINPUTS contains
the document directory and you don't use explicitly
relative paths (i.e. Pah starting with './' or '../')
preamble or in ERT. "

I tried moving the file to a different place and it compiled with no problem.
So, I'm guessing there is something wrong with this particular path or location. Not sure how to fix this problem?

So, I'm guessing there is something wrong with this particular path or location.

The part seems to contain non-standard characters. Such as /users/rené/üß/.... Use another path, or rename it, or define a matching encoding in your file, such as by

Code: Select all

\usepackage[utf8]{inputec}

in the preamble or the corresponding setting via the LyX GUI.

Great !

It works. I noticed that one of the folders in the path (Exam) had
a tiny character below the letter 'E' similar to a single quote which I
thought at first was some dirt on the monitor. I deleted it and created
a new one, now it's fine.

Thanks a lot
