You don’t mention what platform you are on (MacOS? Windows? Linux?) so it makes it difficult to answer your question precisely. If you are on Windows, then I believe all you need to do in LyX (as Eberhard notes in his reply) is go into Document → Settings → Fonts and select “Use non-TeX fonts (via XeTeX/LuaTeX)". That should then make all of your Windows system fonts available to you, which should include all of Microsoft's “Clear Type” fonts — Calibri, Cambria, etc. The same procedure should work under MacOS as long as you have Microsoft Office (or, at least, Word) installed. Under Linux, you can find detailed instructions for snagging these fonts →HERE <https://kodejava.org/how-do-i-install-calibri-font-in-ubuntu/>←. (As I understand it, the script used in the Linux process extracts these fonts from a free Microsoft application (PowerPoint Viewer 2007) and hence that it is legal to install them for personal use.) Chris Menzel ps: I would agree with Eberhard in recommending a serif font for your text. :-) I am using Cambria (and its associated math font) for a large document and I must say it looks quite nice!-- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
Re: Calibri Font
Brian, have you googled this? https://www.google.com/search?q=calibri+latex gives 94 answers. You would put the commands into the Preamble. Now, however, comes the obvious question: Why? :-)-O Calibri, besides being proprietary (and not on CTAN for easy installation into LaTeX), is a Sans-Serif font. For a documents Serifs are usually recommended for readability, whereas Sans Serifs are more for presentations. Obviously this is debatable :-)-O There is a huge number of publicly available fonts on CTAN. You can look at the font catalogue https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/ or experiment with a test document containing blindtext (lorem ispum) and use Document -> Settings... -> Fonts The pulldown will offer a number of fonts and if you untick Use non-TeX fonts (via XeTeX/LuaTeX) it'll offer a (limited) number of fonts and even show if they are already installed. (You can install via the TeX Live manager). If you tick it there is a much larger offering, which I assume are the ones available on the OS (in my case Mac). I myself am a NoTo fan,by the way, with Source Code Pro for Typewriter. greetings, el On 2024/04/29 22:13, Brian Kneller via lyx-users wrote: > Hello, > > I am a newbie to Lyx and I am using the Manchester PhD template on > the LyX website.

Calibri Font
Hello, I am a newbie to Lyx and I am using the Manchester PhD template on the LyX website. Before LyX all my figures and text used Calibri font, it would be great if I could use this in my LyX rendering. I have been on the web and found several options however the solutions are dependant on several modules being present - what is required for Lyx please? Thanks in advance ( if I am addressing the wrong groups [please let me know) Brian Kneller -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
