Yes, this is an open source project, so anyone can work on it. Whether something gets accepted into the codebase is a different question, but this seems like something that could be useful to a lot of people. Doing what you describe will take some real programming, though we'll all be happy to point you in the right direction. That kind of discussion is better on lyx-devel, though. I should probably warn you that, with 2.4.0 about to be released, it will be a while before the next major release. The sort of thing you describe would mean storing new info in the LyX file, which changes the format of the file. That can only be done at major releases, so this would have to be for 2.5.0.

Herbert
Looks like if I export to pdflatex and run pdflatex it works!
But if I export to lualatex and run lualatex the asterisks are
misplaced. Any idea of what is the cause?
It is a bug in IEEEtran which is _not_ configured to run with lualatex.
However, the export from LyX to lualatex is wrong if you have the
LyX-document configured for pdflatex.
For lualatex use this preamble in _LyX_

\usepackage{kpfonts-otf}

And that’s why they don’t look good. You need to choose one
from the drop-down list. The problem with using non-TeX fonts
is that there might not be a corresponding math font. One that
does have a math font and that looks quite nice is Cambria. If
you are using MacOS or Windows you should have it on your
machine if you’ve installed Office 365 or a standalone of any
of the usual Microsoft applications. To get the corresponding
math font once you’ve selected Cambria from the drop-down, add
the following to the preamble:
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmathfont{Cambria Math}
If you’re using Linux, there are instructions to be found on
the interwebs for installing the Microsoft fonts Cambria,
Calibri, and Consolas. They are extracted from the old
PowerPoint Viewer, which Microsoft released for free and hence
(so I recall gathering from discussions in various forums) can
be extracted and used legally.
Is there a recommended alternative set of fonts?
For TeX fonts, I really like New PX
<https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/newpx/>, a descendent of
Palatino with a very nice math font. Add the following to your
preamble (and select “Default” from the drop-down font list):
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{newpxtext,newpxmath}
Vastly superior aesthetically to the long outdated (but still,
sadly, oft-used) Computer Modern default.
Chris Menzel
I just tried out the New PX alternative. It looks good except for
one strange problem. In the top of the paper is author name and
authormark. Authormark (1 author) will be an asterisk. With CM
the asterisk is in the normal position, but with New PX the
asterisk is about the middle of the text height, not in a
superscript position. Since this is right at the top of the paper
and glaringly obvious I don't think I can use it.

That is the user preamble! It _must_ be inserted by you.

It was a wrong font encoding° LyX inserts
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

The \label will still be the problem for tex2lyx, because it merges the

I know that it loads fontspec automatically when I check the Use non-TeX fonts box in Document Settings -> Fonts and that is what I want. But I want to handle math entirely separately.

There are three statistical model frameworks applied to data sets.
They are not equivalent and each is most appropriate to answer questions
about different types of data.
I want to learn more about incorporating LaTeX in my LyX documents.
For this

most of
that (chapter name left-aligned between two horizontal rules) and I
want the
chapter number in words (all lower case) centered above that. This
will wait

Sounds like a bug, then.
No, because unicode-math loads amsmath by default which defines \mathbb
With \Bbbzero you can only be _really_ sure, that it will be taken from the
current math font.

With modern math fonts (open type) the range of 'blackboard'

and it includes small latin letters, and arabic numerals as well.
In this case, LyX creates the corresponding LaTeX code "$\mathbb{0}$", which is
valid LaTeX. It is true that the output is counter-intuitive. I'm not convinced we should
do anything here.

but it seems that LyX is not aware of that. Attached is an example.

Interesting, that's good to know. I don't have Times New Roman on my system so

Re: Font (detection) problems (want to use a Garamond font)
Am 06.05.23 um 09:30 schrieb Dr Eberhard Lisse:
I am wondering if texhash looks for fonts and if so if it configured to
see the path. Something for the experts...
for example:
H-MacBook:~ voss$ kpsewhich LibertinusSerif-Regular.otf
/usr/local/texlive/2022/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/libertinus-fonts/LibertinusSerif-Regular.otf
kpsewhich uses the ls-R files which are created by texhash, which is a
link to mktexlsr.
But it searches _only_ in the TeX path, not the system path.
XeTeX uses the system font search and finds TeX fonts only by
its file names (vis kpsewhich) and not the symbolic name.
LuaTeX has its own fontfile database and finds all system and TeX fonts
by filename and symbolic name, e.g. \setmainfont{Garamond}
