Re: using windows system fonts?

[Tao Cumplido]

 It's a lot more complicated than that. If you're using MiKTeX, have a look
 at the following: 
 http://moonstone.math.ncku.edu.tw/joomla/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=1Itemid=9.
  

Thanks. But I have Texlive. Won't this work?

Actually for me this tex stuff is really strange. I'd like to get into it 
because I like the results, but I don't even get what the difference between 
Texlive and Miktex is.

TeX stuff and related are developed by very large number of people around
the world. TeXLive or MiKTeX are distributions which collect all these small
portion into something useful. They are called TeX distributions. They
contain packages in which you may find fonts, document classes and plenty
additional tools.

I cannot answer whether TeXLive supports MTFI.

No. Using an arbitrary font is quite tricky. Some fonts are supported By 
TeX, those are easier. Usually this involves putting 
\usepackage{something} in the LyX preamble. Maybe you also have to 
download the font package and install it.


If a font isn't already supported by TeX, then you need to roll your own 
support for it. I have needed to do this one time, and it took me 
several days to figure it all out from documentation and examples. Note 
that TeX uses its own font system, so what you have installed in the 
windows system doesn't matter at all. Still, there are lots of fonts 
supported by TeX. Take a look at http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/. The 
fonts you find there can probably be used in LyX documents too without 
too much trouble.


There is a variant of TeX called XeteX that support system fonts in an 
easy way. But XeteX is not yet supported by LyX. Take a look at 
wiki.lyx.org for some tips on how to use it - if you really need to use 
those system fonts. LyX is not a good program for going wild with 
fonts. It is focused on the kind of writing where you pick a sensible 
font or two for a document, and stick to those.
