You may want to try pdflatex instead of luatex, or if you need luatex 
then use the XITS and XITS Math otf fonts (for fontspec and unicode-math 
respectively) which are based on STIX (I even find that XITS has better 
hinting than the usual Times font.)

 At first libertine would not show up as installed in LyX, but a reboot

Hello Robert,
I opened your file 'Example.lyx' as it came and it compiled to PDf 
without any complaints.

I have lyx 2.1.2 / openSUSE 13.2 / KDE
I could furnish you my SETTINGS if you think that would help.

BTW: your example file also converts without any error message to any 
other document class available in my LyX (except in classes for letters).

You are trying to use NewTXMath with the libertine option if I
understand correctly. I don't know what goes wrong. But, have you tried
the stix fonts with pdflatex (\usepackage{stix} in the preamble) ? Stix
is self-contained, so you have to remove other font packages first,
including math symbols, to try. I know a couple other fonts for text and
math that give good results.


Out of curiosity I took a beamer presentation and tried adding
\usepackage{stix}.  I got a string of errors, starting with:

If you previously needed additional packages containing math symbols, 
try to remove those packages from the preamble. Stix should already have 
all the symbols that you need. In particular I set amssymb and stmaryrd 
to "do not load" in the document settings (but maybe that's also because 
I \usepackage[scr=boondoxo,cal=pxtx]{mathalfa} in addition to stix, I 
don't remember the details).

Re: LyX with NewTXMath unable to load metric data

[Robert Susmilch]

I think that's a great idea. What advantage does "stix" give me? I see
on CTAN that it is math fonts, but do they "blend" with any other fonts,
such as heavier weight fonts, etc. Much as with Libertine the math
equations felt out of place since Libertine is a bit heavier weight,
hence my quest to get Libertine working as the math font.

Re: LyX with NewTXMath unable to load metric data

[Robert Susmilch]

I will keep that in mind. However, my issue at the time was writing a
short paper in CSE style with no biblatex CSE style file. I had six
references and had already burned up a lot of time gathering the data
for the paper. I had learned Python, R and a little SageMath (all three
I was a novice in starting out) and didn't feel like diving into any
bibliography stuff for a style I will never use again. Not to say I
don't want to contribute but with a family and my wife and I back into
school I have limited time.

I had started writing it in LibreOffice because Zotero could insert with
CSE style citations and bibliography. However, placement of figures and
floats, as well as tables was horrible. The math editor was a joke. If
it is anything like I hear Word is for equations, I understand
completely. I finally ended up with the equations on a separate page
because inline equations were horrid. I also could not get the figures
to behave, as they anchored EVERYWHERE but a nice neat column. I
eventually the figures within table cells to tame them.

At some point of hair pulling and looking at my output, I cheated. I
simply copied the text over to LyX with the citations already embedded
as plain text, created hanging indents for the bibliography, and redid
the figures and tables as proper floats. I took the equations and placed
them inline into the text. I then fought with the actual paper content
and page length limitations instead of the damn formatting! (If anyone
is interested I have the before and after in dropbox.)

Ok, I misunderstood that you were interested in Libertine specifically

Re: LyX with NewTXMath unable to load metric data

Dear List,

I have been doing quite a few papers in LyX, and tried switching to
LibreOffice for Zotero integration, however the math and figure placement
drove me up the wall so badly, I came back to LyX/LaTeX, cheated, and entered
my citations and references manually via cut and paste.

I have looked at several fonts, and like Libertine, however I cannot get
Libertine to work for the math font.

At first libertine would not show up as installed in LyX, but a reboot may
have fixed that. It now shows up under math font. However, even a basic
document gives me an error while trying LuaTex:

! Font \=zxxrl7z at 10pt not loadable: metric data not found or bad.

l.11 This is a fancy equation $\sum
  _{i=1}^{\infty}b^{i}$.
I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.

You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `I\font='.


This happens with Times New Roman and Garamond for the NewTX math font. Euler
and Kurier both work (but are ugly IMHO.)

PDFLatex gives a similar error, but complains that there is no font of size
8.8 pt loadable.

XeXtex coplains about missing temp pdf.

I have tried some suggestions of reinstalling texlive-collection-
fontsrecommended. I have wiped my preamble out and removed all loaded modules
in document settings.

This is all on a Fedora 22 system, using LyX  2.1.4.

What am I missing?



You are trying to use NewTXMath with the libertine option if I 
understand correctly. I don't know what goes wrong. But, have you tried 
the stix fonts with pdflatex (\usepackage{stix} in the preamble) ? Stix 
is self-contained, so you have to remove other font packages first, 
including math symbols, to try. I know a couple other fonts for text and 
math that give good results.


For Zotero have you tried LyZ ? https://github.com/willsALMANJ/lyz

Dear Guillaume,

Yes, I am trying to use Libertine with the Math font option under Document-
>Settings->Fonts. If I use package stix, it compiles but I cannot use any 
other fonts in document settings (kind of defeats the purpose.)

I have not tried LyZ, but the issue was not Zotero or Lyx itself, but the lack 
of a bibliography for CSE style. I monkeyed around with Lyx for a long time, 
but for a one off paper I couldn’t justify the time spent to learn the 
bibliography commands and such, for only six references.

Dear List and Guillaume,

I installed Fedora 23 in a virtual machine, and out of the box it displayed 
the same issue if I installed Lyx, Libertine, and Newtx packages. Once I 
installed texlive-collection-fontsextra (which is different than 
fontsrecommended) Libertine works as a math font.

Problem solved. I thank everyone for their consideration, and especially 
Guillaume for investigating.

I would second Guillaume Munch's suggestion.  Lyz is a bit fussy but once
working preforms well.

However, you can 

* look at the font package calls in an exported file or the View>Source
  window (set the scope to "preamble" or "complete document"),

* copy them to the user preamble, after loading the stix package,

* set the GUI font selection to "default",

try compiling again.

Usually, the last loaded package determines the font settings. There might,
however be clashes between some packages you have to solve yourself
(remember, the "user preamble" is "use at your own risk").
