Re: Why don't I get an answer?

Wolfgang,

(Linux) Libertine/Biolinum/Libertine Mono are supported by LyX (as
normal fonts, ie unclick "Use non-TeX fonts...")

Document -> Settings... -> Fonts

unsurprisingly, and the pulldown will show you whether they are
installed. If not

 tlmgr install libertine

will sort you out.

If one wants to use the non-TeX fonts, one must install them of course
as well, but since I try to avoid that I don't know what to install to
rectify the error. I personally don't like to put fonts into the
preamble unless I must.


Andreas.

in addition to the comments made elsewhere (try harder to solve it
yourself, create meaningful MWE (often this not only pinpoints the
cause, but allows a solution) and do not be adviceresistant :-)-O), it
is probably going to be helpful if the same topic remains in the same
thread, and has a reasonable Subject line (which I mentioned already in
March).

I find that this community (of volunteers) has been very, very helpful
to all questions I ever had.

Andreas,

I tried your lyx example 2 and got these errors:
Linux libertine not found
missing \begin{document}

for the first error you might try to insert these:
\usepackage{libertinus-otf}
\setmonofont[Scale=MatchLowercase,FakeStretch=0.88,Ligatures=ResetAll]{AnonymousPro}
which was recommended to me by Herbert Voss

Dear Andreas,

Unfortunately, people may not have knowledge or experience on the type 
of problem you are facing. And of course, people may be too busy to look 
at all questions as in my case.


Regards,

Baris

Hi Andreas,

I think a lot of people are just busy. These days are quite difficult for a lot 
of people. We've had our schedules and commitments squeezed, stretched, and 
mixed all up. All of us are volunteers.

It sounds like you might be open to some constructive feedback. I remember that 
for one of your questions you did not post a minimal example. This makes it 
difficult to help. It's nice when the person who wants help tries to make it as 
easy as possible to help them. I think someone else pointed out that you did 
not post a minimal example and you replied "I had already radically shortened 
the LYX file." Well, that's still not a minimal example. And when someone is 
volunteering their time to help you and they point out how you could have made 
it easier, to get such a reply does not make other people want to jump in and 
spend time (often it takes a long time to solve and communicate a solution) to 
help you. For more information, you can study the following:

  https://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample

Please also read our list netiquette, in particular the top-posting versus 
bottom-posting:

  https://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/ListNetiquette

To be clear, I'm not at all upset; I just mention the above since it sounded 
like you might be interested in what else you can do in the future to increase 
the chance of getting help. Unfortunately I'm ignorant in the area of your 
questions.

I hope someone finds a solution to the problem!

Best,
Scott
