This depends: * With use non tex fonts (i.e. XeTeX or LuaTeX with the fontspec package), make sure that the fonts are known to the system. * With 8-bit TeX engines (latex, pdflatex), vote for the bug to include support for more font packages (or collect money to pay someone to implement it) ... For the time beeing: leave the GUI font setting at [Default] and select the relevant font package in the user preamble. Günter

For reasons explained to me by Stefano---the main one being that the app in which I compose, Scrivener, exports unicode---I am going with xetex for compiling. Prior to that I tried a latex compile with the tex gyre specified in the preamble, but it didn't work. Got a message to the effect that could not open 'file.dvi'. Again, thanks for responding.
