Fontforge, in some special cases also inkscape. Inkscape has some advantaages. The first curves of the O, D, B, P, d, p or o have all been the same, sometimes scaled or flipped. The ampersand (et) uses a flipped 3, the ß is based on f+s.  The f is close to the old long s (which was used for

Fonts for LyX

Hello all, this is not really a central Lyx topic, but I hope I'll be forgiven. I have started designing a font. As I have been working with Lyx for over 20 years, and the font should primarily work well with LyX (XeTeX), be usable without problems. Other uses don't interest me so much. At

Gothic style fonts in LyX/MikTeX

Hello, For a project, I wanted to use an old-English/Germanic style font. I found some in yfonts, but it's tricky to install/setup with MikTeX (not automatic) because it requires a local tex install. There are instructions at https://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/InstallType1Fonts and also on StackOverflow

Re: Fonts in LyX (and LaTeX and TeX)

Hi Stefano, do you have any advice or pointers to sites explaining how to use margin kerning in XeTeX? The notes posted by J Kew on the mailing list and on the XeTeX wiki are way too cryptic for me. Short answer, yes. As far as I know, it hasn't yet been discussed much in the Interwebs,

Fonts in LyX (and LaTeX and TeX)

Hi all, I'm involved in an argument on another list with one of these guys who says TeX is ancient technology not fit for modern books. Obviously he's full of beans unless he's doing coffee table books, but one place where this guy's gonna thrash me is fonts. Unless I'm mistaken, fonts other

How does one use the Liberation fonts in LyX?

Hi all, How does one use the Liberation fonts in LyX? These are truetype fonts metrically identical to Microsoft's main fonts: Liberation Mono - Courier New Liberation Sans - Arial Liberation Serif - Times New Roman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_fonts) Thanks SteveT Steve Litt

Re: How does one use the Liberation fonts in LyX?

Hi Steve, I think that you have one of two options. The first, of course is to install the fonts onto your system in the normal way and then use XeTeX to compile the document. If you choose this route, you can assign the font through the use of the \setfont macros: \setmainfont{font name},
