My LANG environment is fr_FR.UTF-8.When I set it to fr_FR, as suggested, the problem disappears for new index entries. I will retype the (not so many) old index entries.
The phenomena also disappears for HTML output. Jean

I am an old Latex user but I begin using LyX 1.3.5 under Linux red hat
to write a book in French (class book, french gutenberg). I have a
problem with index entries that contain an accentutated letter. If i
have to index the word "précision", I get in the index in the dvi
"précision" and the exported latex file contains \index{précision}.
But I click on the Idx button inside the text in the LyX window, I see
"précision".
I just discover that in the exported HTML it is worse : the titles and
some words in the text also are modified in the same way and in the
index I now see "pr���©cision".
