Re: Palatino linotype in Lyx

[UD]

Thanks, Liviu-- this was very helpful. However: It still leaves open the question of why I cannot compile a document (with neither Xetex nor Luatex) with a font that is available from the (non-TeX) Lyx's list of fonts. I guess that since the standard Palatino is really URWPalladio, then that entry in the non-TeX list should be removed and Palatino should be renamed as URWPalladio. This foray into the world of font names, copyrights and shapes has been fascinating and educational for me.

The question was why URWPalladio, which is said to be a free clone of the commercial Palatino Linotype, and which appears in the list of non-Latex fonts, I'm not sure if this answers your question, but when you compile the attached file (which selects "Palatino" in the TeX fonts), you will obtain a PDF document (attached) that uses URWPalladio. Check it with your favourite PDF viewer (acroread, Evince, etc.). This is the free clone of Palatino Linotype. You don't need to select non-TeX fonts in order to get URWPalladio in the PDF and/or use XeTeX. Let me know if I'm still not clear enough, Liviu PS "Palatino" in LyX Doc Settings is not Palatino Linotype but it is URWPalladio. Maybe we need to rename that to something more suitable. fails to compile with Lyx, even though it appears to be install on my Lubuntu 12.10 system. If you can show me how to compile it I shall be grateful.

Take the attached file and compile it with XeTeX. Note that XeTeX also works with TeX fonts.

If, instead of choosing URWpalladio I select texgyrepagella, everything works just fine. So for some mysterious reason, Latex fails to find the urwpalladio, but does find the texgyrepagella. I think it is just Lua(La)TeX that fails. And this may be a known problem or something to do with your setup or ... -- I don't think LyX should be blamed (at least if it works with XeTeX) because differentiating between system fonts that work with XeTeX and not LuaTeX is overkill. Rather this should be fixed on the LuaTeX side. BTW-- I ran texhash just to make sure the database was updated. I don't think this helps with LuaTeX font problems. AFAIK, there is a separate LuaTeX font database but I did not dive into LuaTeX yet.
