I don't have much experience using XeTeX so I'm wondering if the
following is expected:

1. Insert > Special Characters > Miscellaneous Symbols, and then choose
\FiveStarOpen (the hollow star).

If I compile, it works. But if I do:

2. Document > Settings > check Use non-TeX fonts

and then compile (with XeTeX), I get a "Missing glyphs" error.

But if I maually load the necessary packages and I instead of ERT for
\FiveStarOpen, it works fine. The problem appears to be that LyX is
trying to use the FiveStarOpen symbol directly from the font, but it is
not available.

Does this happen because LyX does not know whether a certain symbol is
available in whatever font happens to be selected? If that is the case,
why not be safe and use the LaTeX command which seems guaranteed to
work?
