I've entirely forgotten how I did it, but it definitely involved some manual fixing of the fonts. I used some popular open-source font editor, which I've also forgotten, and I had to fix some stuff up if I remember rightly. I have no idea what "sources" they're looking for. It's like complaining a .jpg doesn't have sources when it's a scanned in photo. One solution might be to add the missing families to Mozilla's TTF fonts, and get them working with LyX? regards john
