Open Office export failure

[Jim Rockford]

I'm getting some strange behavior in exporting a Lyx file to the Open
Office format (Windows 7, Lyx version 2.1.1)

I get a message indicating that the export was successful, but no file
emerges, at least not in the present working directory. It's as if I did
nothing.

The seemingly most relevant messages from the message pane are below. I
don't know what the "--- error --- Illegal storage address" is all about,
nor why if there is an error the reason that Lyx reports the export as
successful.

23:37:26.151: t4ht.c (2012-07-25-19:28 MiKTeX)

23:37:26.151: t4ht fileExample.tex

23:37:26.152: -cooxtpipes

23:37:26.152: -coo

23:37:26.152: -ewin32/tex4ht.env

23:37:26.153: (C:/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.9/tex4ht/base/win32/tex4ht.env)

23:37:26.153: Entering fileExample.lg

23:37:26.154: --- error --- Illegal storage address

23:37:26.154: Successful export to format: OpenDocument

These are messages from tex4ht, so it looks as if you have hit a bug in
that program. I'm not sure why LyX thinks the export was successful.

The error comes from the .lg file. This is where tex4ht writes (among other
things), all the font information. So the error indicates (at first glance)
that tex4ht cannot find a font. This may be due to the font not being where
it should be, perhaps because MikTeX has put it in a different location
than tx4ht expects it. Or it may be due to a problem with formulas---the
.lg file is also where tex4ht writes instructions on how to process
mathematical expressions.
It is hard to say without taking a look at the file.
Feel free to send me a copy and I'll look into it. Be sure to remove all
sensitive information, of course, and make sure it still gives you an error
afterwards.


Cheers,

Stefano
