Bug Description

Binary package hint: lyx

When importing a latex document (.tex) previously used with xetex and edited with kile, some unicode characters are not imported correctly into lyx. However, lyx handles unicode just fine once the document has been set as utf8 encoded and the characters are entered in lyx. I will attach example files.

Demonstration tex and LyX files Edit (37.8 KiB, application/octet-stream)

I attach an archive containing the following files:

test.tex - a utf8 file that renders correctly with xelatex
test.pdf - text.tex rendered with xetex
test-lyx.lyx - the file imported with LyX (which does not detect that test.tex is utf8 encoded and applies latin encoding)
test-lyx-changedencoding.lyx - manually changed encoding to utf8 in LyX, but it still does not render because of invalid characters.

I think this may have been fixed by http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4946 in LyX 1.5.6 (not yet included in Debian or Ubuntu). Bug 253196 (LyX 1.5.6) should therefore fix this bug.
