Minted uses styles which you can set with the style option, in preamble
\AtBeginDocument{\setminted{style=name}}
Available styles are here:

If you insert the listing from a file: In the settings dialog of the
file/programlisting insert inset.

Yes. This package only works with child documents (which are also supported by standard listings, but not for utf8). Standard listings is loaded automatically by LyX (and also by listingsutf8), so you only need to manually load listingsutf8 when needed. > How do I choose a font set that supports Unicode?

It uses whatever Typewriter font you set in Document settings. -- Jürgen -- lyx-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
Re: Insert listing -- from file?
OK... I am curious about inserting a listing as a file/child document. I have
got that part working. It seems to do the same as if I insert a TeX code:
\lstinputlisting[
language=Julia,
caption={Testing},
label={lst:test}
]{C:/Users/Be..._Test_Code.jl}
Your suggestion is more elegant than inserting a TeX code, though.

OK — does this mean that I can use package "listingsutf8" when I add listings
as a child document, and use the standard listings package otherwise?
How do I choose a font set that supports Unicode? (I have JuliaMono installed
on my computer; that one supports Unicode). Do I have to specify the font also
in the inclusion dialog, or do I have to use the same font as in the standard
listing package?
[Sorry for detailed questions — the EmbeddedObjects document is not very
detailed.]

Minted supports unicode both with pdflatex and modern engines. See the
UserGuide, sec. 8.
Listings does not support utf8 in any engine, except for file listings

Yes, via Insert > File > Child Document (if you select "Program

UTF8 files are supported if you manually load
\usepackage{listingsutf8}
in the preamble and then put
inputencoding=utf8/latin1
to the "more parameters" widget in the file inclusion dialog.
