Because this document is not fit for export with Unicode fonts and it tells so by setting the default output. (LatinModern is the default for fonspec but a quite limited font with many missing characters.) We can change this by defining other Unicodefonts (I recommend DejaVu) in the LyX-source. >> BTW, the text of the manuals (which have all pdf2 as default output) are >> never tested again other exports ? > Unfortunately I think that is correct.

Two points that were agreed with Uwe: * The manuals in lib/doc are designed for output with pdflatex and TeX fonts and only this export is secure. To make this clear, the default output format is set to pdf2. * The manuals in lib/doc/ are c-tested with other exports despite the default output format setting. For this, the ctest scripts were modified to respect the default format *except for documents in lib/doc/*. > But we shouldn't modify the documents for the purpose of > the ctests. We should only do that if it makes sense for the documents. Yes. It is good to make the documents "robust", but not if this stands in the way with the main purpose: documentation. Example: * ERT that only works with pdflatex is OK, if it explains ERT, its limits and benefits. * ERT for other purposes is bad, if it can be replaced with a better working LyX construct. e.g.: ERT for accents in Russian should be replaced by composite Unicode characters. > And in my opinion it makes sense for the documents if pdflatex, xelatex, > and lualatex all work on the document.

I would like it very much if the Xe/LuaTeX buttons would also select Unicode fonts by default. There is already a track issue for this (parallel configuration of tex and non-tex fonts) but I don't remember the number. > The other way to add tests would be to remove the ctest mechanism that > tests only the default format if it is set.
