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? Scott
