Dears,

It is possible that I should put this on developers list too, but I didn't.
If any of you it is worth, please do.

I was fighting with my report and when I click "View PDF (pdflatex)" icon...
nothing happened. LyX 1.5.4 under Windows.

Remembering a few times from this lists when someone advices to run lyxc.exe
from cmd, I do that.

Console shows:
Error 42 returned from iconv when converting from UCS-4LE to ISO-8859-2:
Illegal
 byte sequence
Converted input:
Stopped at: 0x03b2
Unconverted input:
Converted output:
File 'C:/Documents and Settings/Manveru/Ustawienia
lokalne/Temp/lyx_tmpdir3416a0
5128/lyx_tmpbuf0/spr5.tex' was not closed properly.

Then I open that not properly closed file and look at the end. That points
me a place where I have wrong character (beta character instead of \beta
command). I think that LyX should handle this case and show error message
showing the description and last few words of wrongly converted file. This
would be much more helpful to the user than nothing (as currently LyX
without console do in such situation).

Is this a LyX bug??

If it is an iconv problem, that a really a problem. Wrong error handling in
library is vary bad situation for developers.

Cheers!
