'view' (Ctrl-R) is grayed-out for non-tex fonts
I have a brand-new install of Fedora 21. If I choose 'use non-tex fonts (via xetex-luatex)' then 'view' is grayed out. How can I fix this? I have texlive-luatex (and I can export to pdf). -- Those who fail to understand recursion are doomed to repeat it

howto change math fonts
In the document/settings/fonts dialog: Using: Use non-tex fonts I can select various text fonts, but the only selection of math fonts is: Class Defaults (TeX fonts) Non-tex default Should other choices be available?

color math not shown on screen
I applied coloring 'blue' to the following sentence. It is rendered
correctly on the tex output, but on screen the \mathbf{s_{0}} is rendered
black.
By demodulating, decoding, and remodulating we will recover the desired
signal \mathbf{s_{0}}

trying to get stix fonts working
Some years ago I tried this and I think got it to work - but now
trying on a new machine under fedora 21 (lyx-2.1.3)
I found some old discussion and tried setting:
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmathfont{xits-math.otf}
(the older discussion said \setmatfont{XITS Math}, but that just gives font
not found)
Then running lualatex.
When I put a \Delta_f in my document, then I get no error or warning - but
when the pdf is displayed, the '\Delta' is invisible.
Without the
\setmatfont{xits-math.otf}
the \Delta is displayed.
Any ideas?

error loading file into memory
I have a number of figures which include graphics from matplotlib. They all
previewed fine until I changed the mpl code to use:

I notice that mpl now warns that it cannot subset stix and includes the

Neal sent a message to the devel list with an external agr inset, but it does not work. I have no idea why, and did not have the time yet to look at it. I am not sure about how lyx handles graphichs included via the graphichs inset, if that is what you use. Perhaps someone else can help with that. It is hardcoded to png conversion for pdflatex, and yes, we need to change that. The external inset way works - in addition to converters, you will need to modify the file external_templates. Feel free to ask if you want some help with that. A nice thing about external insets is that you also may specify an editor for your .agr files. That way, you can click on your graphichs in lyx, and have lyx launch the proper editing app. That does also work with graphic insets. Georg Thank you. Let me know if I can help with any testing.

Well, funky maybe.
I can imagine a nice dialog with check boxes for this sort of thing.
This sort of thing is going to be very class-specific. For AMS, it's
a check box to decide whether numbering is within sections ... and
another for whether there's numbering at all. For a different class
it's going to be something else. So I think what this would require is
(1) syntax in the layout file to define options (how to display them in
a dialog, what the choices are, what LaTeX to insert for each choice)
and (2) an extra dialog in Document - Settings that self-configures
based on that piece of the layout file. Sounds doable (though not by me
-- allergy to C++), but perhaps not obvious how many layouts would
exploit it. Perhaps it should go on the wiki wish-list and people could
vote for it (by suggesting layouts that would benefit from it)?

This very much depends on what you want to achieve.
As with XeTeX, you can use system fonts, this leaves the realm of TeX
and you can follow the advise of the typesetting gurus.
Some links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typophile_%28Internet_Forum%29
http://praegnanz.de/essays/freie-schriften-anspruch-und-wirklichkeit
(German)
http://www.100besteschriften.de/ (German)
If you want matching math fonts, the selection becomes considerably
narrower.
How are math fonts selected?
By default, math fonts are not changed and still taken from the 8-bit
encoded CM fonts.
To configure math fonts, there are two options:
a) load a traditional math-font package like fourier, txfonts or
qtxfonts or mathdesign or kpmath or ...
*before* configuring the text fonts.
In LyX this means to leave the Font GUI at [Default], read the
fontconfig documentation and configure text fonts in the LaTeX
preamble, e.g.
% Requirements
\usepackage{fourier}
% Text font
\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\setmainfont[BoldFont={XITS Bold},ItalicFont={XITS Italic}]{XITS Math}
\setsansfont{DejaVu Sans}
% \setmonofont[HyphenChar=None,Scale=MatchUppercase]{DejaVu Sans Mono}
\setmonofont[HyphenChar=None,Scale=MatchUppercase]{FreeMono}
b) use the experimental unicode-math package
http://ctan.org/pkg/unicode-math
with one of the few OpenType Math fonts Asana-Math, XITS, Cambria-Math
(from MS-Word), NeuEuler or (the soon to be released) LM-Math.
Again, you need to call and configure this in the LaTeX preamble.
See the comprehensive package documentation
http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/unicode-math/unicode-math.pdf
As this is hithero not tested with LyX, you might expect some
incompatibilities and problems.
Günter
Thanks! I found setting
roman - XITS
+
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmathfont{XITS Math}
was good. Only missing a \tt font to go with it. I tried Deja Sans Mono, but
the characters look larger than the roman text, not good. Also tried Nimbus
mono, but it's too thin.

It would appear that something is different between both situations.
Maybe you are running two different versions of eLyXer, or perhaps you
are exporting the document to another LyX format. The first error
appears when parsing formulas in LyX 2.0 -- it has already been
corrected in git and will be there for the next version.
As this problem is a bit specific of eLyXer, I suggest that we stop
CC'ing lyx-users, if you want.
Is it specific to elyxer? It seems to be the way lyx is using elyxer is the
problem, since if I run elyxer from command line the problem is gone.
elyxer options for export to word?
It seems if I use elyxer for the purpose of export to 'word', only --html seems to produce something word (2007) will recognize. With defaults, word seems to show the xhtml structure instead of a formatted document. I also tried lyxHTML export to xhtml. This produced a file.xhtml, which word(2007) refused to open.

[OT] I hate powerpoint
I would normally use beamer, but now I'm forced to use ppt for my part of a
joint presentation. I hate it.
I just want something like this:
\begin{itemize}
\item Nice Equation
\begin{equation}
y = x
\end{equation}
\item Another equation
\begin{equation}
y = x
\end{equation}
...
You get the idea.
I see no reasonable way to do this in ppt. I just ran out (electronically) and
bought mathtype. It looks like if I was using word, I could do this sort of
thing. But not ppt. It has no concept of boxes and glue.
The only thing I can do AFAIK is:
Make an itemized (bullet) list
Make ever other item in the list blank to leave some space
Glue in the mathtype equations, MANUALLY trying to align them, and hoping that
nothing moves the items of text, because the equations are just pictures, and
aren't actually attached to anything.
I know _nothing_ about ppt. Is there any better way?

Confusion algorithm vs. listing
I can insert my code listing as a float in 2 ways, it appears. I can insert an algorithm float, then insert a program listing into it. This results in a caption 'Algorithm ...' Else, I can insert a program listing, enter the settings dialog, and select float. I can then add a caption, and it will say 'Listing ...'. There does not appear to be a way to decide later I want to change all those 'Algorithms' to 'Listings'. Also, the look of these 2 floats is quite different. Seems like this should be more unified.

I rather assume the documentation should make more clear that these are
completely different things. The algorithm is intended for mathematical
algorigthms, not code.
You might try to change one instance in LyX and then (looking at the
differences) the others in the *.lyx file with a text editor.

I like the way Algorithm looks, with a heavy rule above the caption. This is
apparantly produced in Algorithm using
