I believe the idea was to load mathdesign in a module. However, I did not test whether it is possible to load it before fontenc to reset the TeX font encoding to EU1 or U. > In the end the only thing that did the job was modifying a local copy > of the .cls, which is not too bad actually.

Other than that I'm quite happy with the way > LyX handles XeTeX. Actually, the "use non-TeX fonts" option is a "use fontspec" option, combining this with 8-bit font packages is always tricky. Supporting these combinations in the GUI would make things too complicated. I could rather imagine to add "polyglossia" to the selection in Document>Settings>Languages>Language package. This way, it would be possible to have XeTeX + polyglossia also without selecting fontspec per GUI. Günter
