the same document (a report) in order to continue

really huge (150).
Just speaking as a user (I'm no expert on lyx), things to
try (if the problem still persists):
(1) does it work if you (as a test) first convert one
figure to jpg? (does that figure than show up?)
(2) in a thread on this list started by Bruce Pourciau
7 June 2006 it was turned out that having special
characters such as the apostrophe (') in file names
might present difficulties in 1.4.* after upgrade from
1.3.*
(3) at last, it might be helpful to post the exact wording of
the message about an error that you mentioned
As a last resort, if you really would need to convert all 150
figures something like for j in *.jpg; do convert $j $j.jpg; done
should do the job if you have the convert tool (ImageMagick
package) and a bash-compatible shell on MacOS.

To guess the encoding of something (by the very nature of an encoding this is heuristics), the command "file" (that uses libmagic by Rullgard/Zoulas) is often used. So run "file lit.bib" and "file yourfile.lyx" to see if the encoding is the same in both files and if it is the same as in your locale.

Re: Chinese characters in standard Lyx
Hello Graham,

I searched the archives and found a very helpful email that suggested
that it was possible to use Lyx with CJK latex. I installed CJK latex
(I already had the fonts) and proceeded to try the recommended ERT code:
\usepackage{cjk} in the preamble; \begin{cjk} etc in the document.
When I run the program I get an error message that it cannot find
cjk.sty. I have checked and there is no cjk.sty file on my system.
According to the debian packages database, it should be CJK.sty
(in uppercase, not cjk.sty) coming with the cjk-latex package
there. Is that CJK.sty file findable on your system?
