Re: Devanagari characters input distortion

Cheers, Julien Thanks, Julien and Benedict for your advices. Since it was very fast (just copied the attached spbasic3.bst to my local folder and changed spbasic.bst to spbasic3.bst under Bibtex generated Bibliography at the end of my document) I used Juliens proposal, although I will try biber/biblatex later when I am not under time pressure.

Matching math font with TG Pagella
Hello, I like to use the TexGyre Pagella font in many documents, better that Palatino which lacks ligatures. However, Palatino triggers a nice matching font for maths, and I was never able to get it with TG Pagella, at least under LyX 2.0.6. Now that I've installed LyX 2.1.1, I wondered if perhaps it was easier to achieve, but I can't find how to do it in the new fonts settings dialog box. Do I have to add a package or something in the preamble? TIA - best regards, -- Daniel CLEMENT
