fontslyx

I would like to use some of theese greek fonts in LyX for my thesis:
http://aka-acid.com/fontsscript.html

I installed the theme but I don't know how to use it in LyX

I also installed XeTeX

Can someone who uses LyX, guide me step by step?

I am not an expert but I just spent a lot of time figuring this out myself.

In LyX go to document settings. Under fonts, check use XeTeX fonts, and pick your fonts. You should be good to go.

If you want, or that doesn't work, you can also put the following in your preamble:

\setmainfont{nameofyourinstalledfont} %set font for main document

This will override the setting above.

If you want to change this at any time in your document, just insert an ERT with:

\setmainfont{nameofnewinstalledfont} %set new font for main document

You can also use fontspec e.g. \fontspec[Numbers=OldStyle]{Bergamo Std}

It depends on where you want to go...

It sounds like LyX is not running XeTeX at all. Here’s a simple way to check it: run the following document in Lyx

\documentclass{minimal}

\usepackage{ifxetex}

\begin{document}

\ifxetex{I'm running XeTeX}\else{I'm \textbf{not} running XeTeX}\fi

\end{document}

and see if the output file contains “I’m running XeTeX” or “I’m not running XeTeX”. In the latter case, you should go again through the instructions to set up LyX to use XeTeX and not pdfTeX (or whatever it’s using); I can’t really help you there, as I’ve never used LyX.

Also, if you’re going to use XeTeX and fontspec and use system fonts, you should absolutely not use the fontenc package. It’s not compatible with XeTeX. The line above it in your code (\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\rmdefault}) may also cause problems, and interacts anyway with what fontspec does, so you’re better off deleting it.

[Tex/LaTex] Elsevier format 2 columns in Lyx

I figured the solution to add 2 columns from the hint by tohecz. People who want to create 2 columns need to just add: Document Class->(in) Custom (type-->) 5p (5p without brackets, quotes,etc.).
