Bad idea. https://graphcom.com/type-1-fonts-discontinued-in-2023

Yeah, Adobe says somebody else will take over T1, and maybe that
will come to pass, but most people are going away from T1 now. No
matter what look you want, there will probably be non-T1 fonts to
achieve the look you want.

Call the etbb-fonts the LyX-way as non-TeX-fonts (Document - Settings -
Fonts - choose etbb* in the list of serif fonts)? That way you can
compile with XeTeX and utf.

* If etbb are not in the list, you have to make e. g.
/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/etbb
known to your OS as a font directory.

Hope it helps

Eugene, I think that the report says that there is *no* icon at all now...

This is an unfortunately known bug under Ventura. 

There is a thread on it starting here 
http://lists.lyx.org/pipermail/lyx-users/2023-January/004830.html 

which includes some tips on copying and pasting the full path and file name 
using right-click and option key in the finder
http://lists.lyx.org/pipermail/lyx-users/2023-January/004871.html 


I am not sure if the developers have a fix in the works. 

Best of luck,
Steve

Problems with insert Graphics on MacOS

[Sarah Stelter via lyx-users]

Dear Lyx Team, 

I installed a new version of Lyx Version 2.3.7 on my MacOS Ventura Version 
13.3.1. 
It worked before but now I can’t insert Graphics anymore without tipping the 
path manually. 
Basacly the browse function opens the finder, I select the graphic, click on 
open, the window closes but nothing else happened. 
If I insert the path manually there is no issue. 

Could you explain/ help me with the problem? 

Kind regards
Sarah

UTF-8 and the Tufte Book document class

[R H van der Gaag]

Hi all,
I am writing a book using the Tufte Book document class, with the Tufte font 
included through ``\usepackage{ETbb}`` in the preamble. This works fine. But 
the encoding is T1, and producing a PDF fails when I change it to UTF8. I 
intend to add some Chinese text, and I either have to get UTF8 to work with 
this document or get Chinese characters with the present T1 encoding (but that 
is not the preferred approach, given that LyX 2.4 will be UTF8 throughout, if I 
am not mistaken, so I might as well get that sorted now). The main language of 
the document is Dutch, with bits in German, ancient Greek, French, and other 
languages. I am using LyX 2.3.7 on an M2 MacBook Air and an M1 iMac.

Any helpful hints are much appreciated.

RH
