Now, there is a prominent warning in all these cases: * the class name is preceeded by "Unavailable: " and a message window pops up remainding you again that LyX will not be able to produce output. * missing fonts are marked with (not installed) in the font choosing dialogue. But missing input encodings are not marked (are they?) -- this is what I call inconsistency. Günter
