Yes, I have something like this in my local tree. The per-document charstyles are defined in the minibuffer and take the font at the cursor location as the inset's font definition. (A GUI for defining them rather than the minibuffer would be nice, but I'm sure this already will make many people happy.) These per-document charstyles output the same font to the screen and to the LaTeX file. They have initially no displayed label (Jean-Marc objected to their real-estate demand when I proposed to use them in LaTeX to replace emph and noun.) They are added to the menu below the layout-specific charstyles. > If so, where would these per-document char styles be saved? Presumably in the > lyx documnent. Yes... haven't done that yet.
