Better errormessage for missing unicodesymbols

[stacia@…]

This problem is vaguely similar to #3043
however I would say it is more serious...honestly this bug renders the whole
Unicodesymbols file useless. I was told that the file is only used when the
encoding is *not* UTF8, and this was confirmed as I messed with the file and saw
no changes with my UTF8 file. However, changing to any encoding but UTF8 will
give the error message about the text being the wrong encoding. This is wrong,
since the symbols in the file should be getting converted through
unicodesymbols. More information can be found on the mailing list and I will be
attaching an example I found there shortly.

I see this, too. I'll have a quick look over the weekend, since it was probably
broken by me.

This is now fixed: ​http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/18066
The unicodesmymbols file does work, but I entered the schwa command for the
wrong symbol (capital schwa, which is to my knowledge not in tipa), therefore
LyX could not find it. Now you should be able to enter all missing tipa
symbols :-)

You get a messsage on the console in cases like this:

Could not find LaTeX command for character 0x259.
LaTeX export will fail.

I believe that the error box that pops up is suboptimal (since utf8 does not
help in many cases), therefore I leave this bug open with changed summary.

What do you mean by "the error box that pops up is suboptimal"? Should we popup
an alert box or not?

Seems we have to live with the errormessage for the time being.

Is this bug eventually related to #4437?
