Which encoding fonts should I use together with LuaLaTex and how would I select
it?
Do not use the LyX settings. Use a package which does it all for you.
For example:
- enabled ->Document->Settings->Fonts->Don't use TeX fonts - Use
"Standard" for the font families - Insert into ->Document->
Settings->LaTeX Preamble
\usepackage{libertinus-otf}
\usepackage[Scale=MatchLowercase,FakeStretch=0.85]{juliamono}
There are some more packages which do the font setting.

Subject: LuaLaTeX crashes on typographic quotes inside boxes containing listings Description: In LyX 2.4.4, when a document contains boxes (e.g., Simple Frame) that include both ordinary text with typographic quotation marks (‘ U+2018, ’ U+2019, “ U+201C, ” U+201D) and a listings environment, compiling with LuaLaTeX produces errors such as: Undefined control sequence. doesn\T 1\textquoteright t ... • The error does not occur in boxes that contain only text, nor in normal paragraphs. • LyX editor displays the typographic quotes correctly. • PDF output may appear correct depending on font ligatures, but LuaLaTeX fails during compilation when the listing is present in the same box as typographic quotes. Not a LyX-specific issue: • A plain LaTeX file containing the same box + listing + typographic quotes exhibits the exact same LuaLaTeX error. • Compiling the same file with standard pdfLaTeX produces no error. • This confirms that the issue is due to LuaLaTeX’s handling of Unicode typographic quotes in fragile environments, not LyX itself. Cause: • LuaLaTeX attempts to expand Unicode typographic quotes to LaTeX commands (e.g., \textquoteright) inside fragile box/listing combinations, which is not allowed, causing compilation errors. Workarounds: 1. Replace typographic quotes with ASCII ' or " before pasting into boxes. 2. Or, add the following macro to the LaTeX preamble to convert all typographic quotes to ASCII at compile time: \AtBeginDocument{% \catcode`’=\active \protected\def’{'}% \catcode`‘=\active \protected\def‘{'}% \catcode`“=\active \protected\def“{"}% \catcode`”=\active \protected\def”{"}% } • Ensures LuaLaTeX compiles successfully while retaining typographic appearance in the PDF. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a LyX 2.4.4 document (or plain LaTeX file). 2. Insert a Simple Frame box (or minipage/tcolorbox). 3. Inside the box, add: • A text string containing typographic quotes. • A listings environment with code. 4. Compile using LuaLaTeX. 5.
