Sorry, I missed the IEEEtran documentclass setting. In this case, the class file selects a Times font and your settings are correct. I don't know whether the font selection is done before or after this, though (look into IEEEtran.cls to find out if you are curious). Generally, I recommend Latin Modern instead of Computer Modern if you want the "classic TeX fonts" and optical sizes (good looking fonts at small scales for indices, fractions, etc.) and newtxmath to go with Times, Palatino or Libertine. I also like Fourier. >> Why do you compile with LuaTeX when using 8-bit fonts?

Otherwise, luatex takes longer to run and there are still packages out there that just test for the TeX engine and with Xe/LuaTeX assume both inputencoding and fontencoding to be utf8. -> beware of strange errors, in case something goes wrong try with pdflatex (of course this does not solve every error). >>>> Does \usepackage{newtxmath} need to be moved later in the >>>> preamble? >> May be, you can try by leaving the GUI math-package setting at default and >> inserting \usepackage{newtxmath} in the user preamble.

So keep it the way you are more comfortable with (or closer to the template documentation), it will not matter much. OTOH, it might be an idea to change the LyX font GUI to insert newtxmath after the fontenc call. Günter
