Re: Palatino linotype in Lyx

"I see URWPalladio only listed when clicking the "non TeX fonts" button (i.e. for use with Lua- or XeTeX engines). URWPalladio is installed system-wide by ghostscript, so it should work with XeTeX/LuaTeX. "  Again, I agree that it SHOULD work, since it seems to be installed with ghostscript, and when I use font-manager, it finds and shows the urwpalladio font without any problem.  However, when I click: View(other format)/pdf(Luatex), I get a "font-not-found" error.  If, instead of choosing URWpalladio I select texgyrepagella, everything works just fine.  So for some mysterious reason, Latex fails to find the urwpalladio, but does find the texgyrepagella. I think it just shows how little I know about the way Latex manages the fonts on the system. BTW-- I ran texhash just to make sure the database was updated.

Since under (L)ubuntu the tlmgr (the package manager for TexLive) is not normally available, and since URWPalladio does not appear in the ubuntu repositories, I could not use it. Here, with LyX 2.0 under Debian/testing, I see URWPalladio only listed when clicking the "non TeX fonts" button (i.e. for use with Lua- or XeTeX engines). URWPalladio is installed system-wide by ghostscript, so it should work with XeTeX/LuaTeX. I don't think that there is a separate entry for URWPalladio under the TeX fonts - the TeX version is available as "Palatino" using the "mathptmx" LaTeX package.
