Riki,

On all my hosts locale is set to "en_US.UTF-8" and I assumed that text
editors such as emacs and LyX used that setting. If not, please point me to
where I can change file encodings to that as a default.

In Settings -> Fonts would I make "en_US.UTF-8" a custom font? I didn't see
another setting area that looks likely.
