Re: XeTeX - Load packages before fontspec
I can see a very distinct reason for wanting to be able to modify the LyX-
generated preamble directly (without having to use a separate editor). I'm
using MathTime Professional II fonts and I want to use it in conjunction
with the bm package so that I have access to the bm versions of the \bm and
\hm modifiers. In order for this to work, \usepackage{bm} _must_follow_
\usepackage{mtpro2} and with LyX generating \usepackae{bm} in its own
preamble, the second \usepackage{bm} in my preamble is rendered useless. I
see this as much more of a hindrance than a feature.

Defeated. This was an *example* for a *custom* user written pe-preamble.
This specific example loads a package that is not auto-loaded by LyX, so
there is no danger of an option clash. It is put in the pre-preamble to
ensure it is loaded before the auto-loaded packages.
If the user wants to add options to a LyX-auto-loaded package, then this
could/should be done with \PassOptionsToPackage in the pre-preamble, but
without \usepackage command.
Please always consider calling \usepackage in two parts, especially in
LyX generated code: to allow for the possibility of adding more options
to the packages called. (calling \usepackage with options twice isn't
allowed)
Acutally, repeated \usepackages with a *different option set* is not
allowed. This is because the second \usepackage is ignored and hence the
different options are ignored too.
However, as the minimal example
\documentclass{minimal}
\PassOptionsToPackage{utopia}{mathdesign}
\usepackage{mathdesign}
\PassOptionsToPackage{greekuppercase=italicized}{mathdesign}
\usepackage{mathdesign}
\begin{document}
$\Gamma$
\end{document}
shows, \PassOptionsToPackage after \usepackage is silently ignored.
I.e. if LyX were to use it, this would not prevent the error but only the
error detection.

That's clear, but \PassOptions... at least gives you an opportunity to
put some more options, and the result, or the lack of the result can be
seen in the produced document.
So, first both LyX and user can \PassOptions..., LyX will or will not
call some package at the end, in the latter case user will call it herself.

Re: XeTeX - Load packages before fontspec

Hello everyone! I've been using TeX for quite a long time now but I'm new to

regular LaTeX packages that affect fonts need to be loaded before fontspec in
order to work properly. One such package, for example, is mathdesign. In order
to apply a mathdesign font to the math text using XeTeX/fontspec, mathdesign
must be loaded before fontspec, like this
\usepackage[mdugm]{mathdesign}
\usepackage{fontspec}

However, LyX automatically inserts fontspec at the very top of the preamble
(actually, after amsmath but you get the point). Therefore if I put
\usepackage[...]{mathdesign} in the preamble settings it always comes after
fontspec and renders the fontspec font definitions useless. Of course the same
happends if I \usepackage{fontspec} again in the preamble (since it's already
loaded).
Is there any (hackish?) way to tell LyX to load mathdesign (or any other
package) before fontspec? I'm using LyX 2.0.1 + TeXLive 2010 on ArchLinux.
Two options:
* Try with the font definitions in the user preamble, e.g.
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Asana Math}
...
(You can find the commands with ViewSource ticking the Complete source
box. Set the GUI font selection to Default afterwards.)
* - Leave use non-Tex fonts unchecked.
- Select LanguageEncoding Unicode (utf-8) (XeTeX)
- Do the complete fontspec loading and configuration in the user preamble.
- View/Export with XeTeX.

Re: XeTeX - Load packages before fontspec
I'm using the first option already since I need to pass options to the font
definitions. Still the problem lies with fontspec not the font definition. I've
also thought about the second method but that way I lose the nice integration
with polyglossia since LyX will be using babel (instead of polyglossia) for
multilingual text.

I've been trying to create a custom module but unfortunately is seems that fontspec is not handled by a module at all, instead it is placed into the preamble automatically when XeTeX mode is triggered.
