Hi,
I'm trying to make Xetex work with Lyx under Win XP.
I've tried to add the following to the preamble :
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
But the Lyx PDF compiler answers :
"This package currently works only with xetex"
with some info about fonts which aren't "loadable"
What can I do to make the thing work ?
This happens because you use a package made for xetex (as the message
points out) but you aren't actually using xetex. You use latex or
pdflatex, and they can't use this xetex package.
Lyx is currently not able to invoke xetex on its own. It invokes latex
or pdflatex.
What you can do, is to use export->latex. LyX will produce a file with
the same name as the .lyx file, but the ending .tex. Then, run xetex on
that file. The command will be something like:
xetex filename.tex
Also see http://wiki.lyx.org/ that has some information on using xetex
with LyX
