> That's not possible, since the backends use different sets of fonts. Many fonts are set up in both texmf and "system". E.g. I do have DejaVu/Bera, Latin Modern, Libertine configured for use with TeX/LyX and as System font. Maybe this could be solved in the new font chooser (sorry, I did not find the matching bug entry, still have to adapt to trac). Günter
