What error does it give? Is it possible for you to make a minimal
example?

I don't know if waiting for 2.2.0 is a good idea. First, the improvement
I mentioned is just one improvement. I have no idea if it will fix your
problem (I would actually guess that it will not fix your problem). If
you can provide us with the reason for the error and with a minimal
example then we might be able to fix it for 2.2.0.

Yes, arxiv.org gives me an error. Maybe I'll just wait for 2.2.0 :-)

Re: LyX with NewTXMath unable to load metric data

[Robert Susmilch]

I think that's a great idea. What advantage does "stix" give me? I see
on CTAN that it is math fonts, but do they "blend" with any other fonts,
such as heavier weight fonts, etc. Much as with Libertine the math
equations felt out of place since Libertine is a bit heavier weight,
hence my quest to get Libertine working as the math font.

Re: LyX with NewTXMath unable to load metric data

[Robert Susmilch]

I will keep that in mind. However, my issue at the time was writing a
short paper in CSE style with no biblatex CSE style file. I had six
references and had already burned up a lot of time gathering the data
for the paper. I had learned Python, R and a little SageMath (all three
I was a novice in starting out) and didn't feel like diving into any
bibliography stuff for a style I will never use again. Not to say I
don't want to contribute but with a family and my wife and I back into
school I have limited time.

I had started writing it in LibreOffice because Zotero could insert with
CSE style citations and bibliography. However, placement of figures and
floats, as well as tables was horrible. The math editor was a joke. If
it is anything like I hear Word is for equations, I understand
completely. I finally ended up with the equations on a separate page
because inline equations were horrid. I also could not get the figures
to behave, as they anchored EVERYWHERE but a nice neat column. I
eventually the figures within table cells to tame them.

At some point of hair pulling and looking at my output, I cheated. I
simply copied the text over to LyX with the citations already embedded
as plain text, created hanging indents for the bibliography, and redid
the figures and tables as proper floats. I took the equations and placed
them inline into the text. I then fought with the actual paper content
and page length limitations instead of the damn formatting! (If anyone
is interested I have the before and after in dropbox.)

At first libertine would not show up as installed in LyX, but a reboot

You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `I\font='.


This happens with Times New Roman and Garamond for the NewTX math font.
Euler and Kurier both work (but are ugly IMHO.)

PDFLatex gives a similar error, but complains that there is no font of
size 8.8 pt loadable.

XeXtex coplains about missing temp pdf.

I have tried some suggestions of reinstalling texlive-collection-

You are trying to use NewTXMath with the libertine option if I
understand correctly. I don't know what goes wrong. But, have you tried
the stix fonts with pdflatex (\usepackage{stix} in the preamble) ? Stix
is self-contained, so you have to remove other font packages first,
including math symbols, to try. I know a couple other fonts for text and
math that give good results.


Out of curiosity I took a beamer presentation and tried adding
\usepackage{stix}.  I got a string of errors, starting with:

No room for a new \mathgroup .





If you previously needed additional packages containing math symbols, 
try to remove those packages from the preamble. Stix should already have 
all the symbols that you need. In particular I set amssymb and stmaryrd 
to "do not load" in the document settings (but maybe that's also because 
I \usepackage[scr=boondoxo,cal=pxtx]{mathalfa} in addition to stix, I 
don't remember the details).

Hello Robert,
I opened your file 'Example.lyx' as it came and it compiled to PDf 
without any complaints.

I have lyx 2.1.2 / openSUSE 13.2 / KDE
I could furnish you my SETTINGS if you think that would help.

BTW: your example file also converts without any error message to any 
other document class available in my LyX (except in classes for letters).
