Thanks to both of you! However, I accidentally ran fc-cache without arguments, then Ctrl+C'ed out, then ran it with -fsv, and now, in LyX, when I go to select a font, there are about three zillion arcane fonts to choose from. I suspect my running fc-cache without arguments caused the three zillion. Is there a way I can properly rebuild my font cache? By the way, the only way I can compile it now is with lyx -e luatex myfile.lyx lualatex myfile.tex I don't know how to set LyX to do that instead of using XeTeX, which no longer works on this book.

LyX says Tex Gyra Schola is not installed, but I installed it
Hi all, The only font readable enough for my books is Century Schoolbook. All the rest are too faint. Most Century Schoolbook implementations don't work with LyX, or at least I haven't been able to get them to work. With one exception... Tex Gyra Schola is a Century Schoolbook implementation that has been working for me for the past 5 years. But now, When I Document->Settings->Fonts and select a Serif font, Tex Gyre Schola is listed, but the words "(not installed)" are appended, and in fact when I compile the document, the font in the PDF is definitely not TeX Gyre Schola. I installed the tex-gyre and tex-gyra-math packages with the following command: tlmgr install tex-gyre tlmgr install tex-gyre-math After those commands, I performed a texhash command. I then terminated LyX and did a reconfigure. Still "(not installed)". The other relevant settings on Document->Settings->Fonts are "Use Non-TeX Fonts" is unchecked, LaTeX font encoding is Default. What can I do to start to figure out this problem?
