We definitely should not force the dialog font (apart from the fact that it is impossible to force the font because qt will change it to something else if it thinks that it ought to do so). If I set a font in qtconfig I expect that it is used in all dialogs and menus of qt programs. It is fine to use a replacement if a certain symbol is not available (and this is what qt does), but I don't want LyX to enforce its own font that is different from all other qt apps. And I fail to see why the math fonts as used in the workarea are a hack. Surely they don't use unicode, but this is not a hack, this is how they historically evolved. > IMO, requiring a font covering all of Unicode for the GUI is a _must_. Why? Please think about users. From a users perspective this is an additional restriction (compared to 1.4). Of course you can't expect that the navigate menu wil display correctly for some CJK docs if you don't have a font with CJK installed, but why should somebody who never uses CJK not be allowed to use his favourite (latin-only) font for the dialogs? I do understand why you want to do this, and I agree that it is good in theory, but IMHO the price that you (or rather users) have to pay for nice code is too high. Georg
