Hi,

I like the TeXGyre fronts, and use them as screen fronts through the
preferences. As they work with LaTeX I would second the notion of being
able to have thenm in the dropdown :-)-O

Though, of course, putting them into the Preamble works also.

 No. Better support for more of the font packages is a long standing feature
 request. You might want to vote for the relevant ticket at bugs.lyx.org.
 
 For the time beeing:
 
 * set (or leave) the font(s) as [Default]
 
 * read the font-package's documentation
 
 * insert the command(s) and options recommended there in the LaTeX preamble.
 
 As screen-font and print-font are de-coupled anyway, there is no
 disadvantage of this approach once the correct command (usually a

 Alternatively,
 
 In LyX 2.0, you can use 'non-TeX fonts' and choose Linux Libertine 
 Biolinum if these are installed on your system. Then you will compile
 your documents with XeTeX.

latex fonts

[Virgil Arrington]

Dear all,

I’ve been using Latex and LyX for about a year now. I like LyX’s GUI which 
insulates me from having to type in all the commands. But, I have a question.

My Latex distribution has many fonts installed on it. My favorite is Linux 
Libertine, which is complete with OSF and true small caps, etc.

But, Libertine is not listed in LyX’s drop down list of fonts even though it is 
part of my latex distribution. The drop down list only seems to list the 
“standard” Latex fonts. Is there any way to get LyX to recognize all of the 
fonts that are included in my Latex distribution. I’m using Miktex 2.9. When 
installing Miktex, I chose the option to install the complete distribution and 
it seems to have more fonts than are recognized by LyX.

Thanks,

Virgil Arrington
