When you tell LyX to use "non-Tex fonts" through XeTeX/LuaTeX, you're telling LyX to use the fonts available to your OS apart from TeX. These would be the fonts available to all of your other programs, such as LibreOffice (if you have it). These fonts are different from those installed by TeXLive. The TeXLive fonts are generally available to TeX/LaTeX/LyX systems when compiling using PDFLaTeX (as opposed to XeTeX). The TeXLive fonts are generally not available to non-TeX programs as they are installed somewhere within the TeXLive file structure separate and apart from OS system fonts. As a test, I would open another non-TeX program that uses system fonts (such as LibreOffice or OpenOffice or whatever else you have on your system) and see if the desired fonts are available within that program. If they are not, then that would indicate to me that they are not installed as OS system fonts. If they are not installed as OS system fonts, then you'll need to install them to your Debian system. On that point, I can't help further as I know nothing about where Debian installs system fonts or the methods it uses to install them.

Re: Aw: Re: Ligatures in the text
If you want to really get sucked in and obsessed, check our Robert Bringhurst's book, Elements of Typographic Style.

When Hermann Zapf designed Palatino, he designed the "f" in such a way that it doesn't clash into following letters; hence the "f" ligature isn't needed. This appears to be true as well of the various Palatino clones out there, such as Tex Gyre Pagella, URW Palladio, Book Antiqua, etc. Virgil, Thanks for the typography lesson. I read a couple of books on typography about 25 years ago when I started using LaTeX/LyX for writing that leaves the office. Palatino is my default typeface and I never noticed the lack of "f" ligatures, only how attractive and easy to read it is.

Re: single quotes in xhtml output
Thank you for your reply. It never occurred to me that LyX would have
special key-strokes to obtain typographic inner quotes when it
automatically inserts typographic outer quotes without a special key-stroke.
Now that I know how it works, I can get the desired result.

Which keys or key-combinations do you use to insert the quote signs?
By default, the »"«-key, inserts an "outer" „smart-quote inset“ which is
converted to a typographical quote according to the document language's
conventions (configurable in Document>Settings>Language).
The default binding for "inner" „smart quotes“ is Alt-". Alternatively, you
can use the Menu Insert>Special Character>Inner Quotation Mark.
The ` and ' keys, in contrast default to inserting ASCII GRAVE ACCENT
and APOSTROPHE respectively. Most LaTeX fonts show them in the shape of
typographical curly single quotes but most fonts used in web browsers show
them in the "neutral" shape.
Also, when exporting to html, all quotes are properly converted,
Probabely, the external converter implements a "smart quotes" feature.
but I prefer the single file output of xhtml.
I suppose with "xhtml" you mean the native "LyXHTML" export route?
There is no plan to add such a smartquotes feature to the LyXHTML export,
rather users should input typographical quotes either as literal characters
or "quote insets".
You may consider binding the '-key or the `-key to "quote-insert inner"
(with Tools>Preferences>Editing>Shortcuts),
use Alt-" or your systems keybindings for the literal curly quote Unicode
characters.

single quotes in xhtml output
I have been using LyX for years. I am now using LyX 2.3.4.3 on a Lenovo
laptop running Windows 10. I also run a slightly older version on a Sony
laptop running Linux Mint 18. The subject of my concern exists on both
computers.
I often want to export to xhtml. However, when I do so, single quotation
marks and apostrophes (`) and (') do not get converted to curly
typographic quotes. Double quotes get converted just fine. Also, when
exporting to html, all quotes are properly converted, but I prefer the
single file output of xhtml.
I was looking through the bugs at LyX.org and couldn't find anything
mentioning this problem, but it has been around for so long that I have
to believe the LyX developers are aware of the behavior.
Do any of y'all know if this is a known bug, and whether or not it is in
the process of being addressed?
I just thought I would ask before creating an account to log in a bug
report.
