I am using LyX (module: report).
I would like to change the colour of my title from black (wich is default) to another colour but I don't know how.
From what I saw from LyX's menu, colours are limited but I want more options. Here's LyX's menu for text colours:
Probably I must enter some code before my text in order to change colour?
You can use the package sectsty to do change the headings, and xcolor to get the colour definitions.
For example, add to your preamble (Document --> Settings --> LaTeX preamble) the following:
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{sectsty}
\chapterfont{\color{blue}} % sets colour of chapters
\sectionfont{\color{cyan}} % sets colour of sections
You can use colours predefined in xcolor (see manual), or define your own, e.g.
\definecolor{MyBlue}{rgb}{0.1,0.1,1}
Put such definitions in the preamble as well.
The Default font is whatever font is defined by the selected document class. The most used document classes – the base classes (article, report, book), KOMA classes and memoir – all use the standard TeX font, Computer Modern. Other classes may use different fonts, IEEEtran for example uses Times New Roman.
The same is, I'd think, for the default family. Most classes will probably have roman as the default, while beamer (which is for creating presentations) have sans serif as default.
To find out what what font is used by a given class, one could generate a PDF and take look at its properties, where the fonts used are listed, or possibly look at the source code of the class.
With regard to font encoding that is in short (from Glossary of TeX and LaTeX terms) ‘a mapping between source characters and glyphs in a particular font’. See also fontenc vs inputenc
