Unfortunately, my knowledge of C++ and the LyX code is too limited to provide a patch, but: Please consider Ticket #9744: "allow parallel configuration of TeX and non-TeX fonts" Try "View>PDF (XeTeX)" with the LyX manuals to see why this is important (compiling fails, because the combination of XeTeX and TeX-fonts is poorly supported by both, LaTeX and LyX). I propose a new config value "automatic" for "use non-TeX fonts". The effect of useNonTeXFonts == "automatic" would be to use TeX fonts with 8-bit engines and non-TeX fonts with Unicode-enabled engines (XeTeX, LuaTeX). Günter
