This is a beautiful and feature rich sans and monospaced font family
designed by Erik Spiekermann and reminiscent to his famous (and
commercial) FF Meta.
This revives a patch by Uwe and extends it. Additional options to font
packages/fontspec can now be entered in Document Settings.
This is principally also true for TeX fonts, if the new TeXFont tag
MoreOptions is set. For the time being, I have only done this for
MinionPro, as a model and prove of concept.
Note that adding more TeXFonts requires a file format change,
respectively, and changes to tex2lyx (in the same way as I've done for
MinionPro).
This addresses #8226
Following a request by Günter, we consider the document fonts (only rm
for now) when selecting an appropriate font encoding.
See #9741
The new default font encoding setting "auto" does
* consider the font encoding needed by the language(s), which can now
have fallback alternatives
* Consider which font encoding is provided by the document font
Thus, cm now will result in OT1 fontenc, if the language can deal with
that.
The font_enc pref is ditched: it is no longer needed.
The automatism is still very basic and is subject to extension.
File format and prefs format change.
We use the more comprehensive cochineal package if available and fall
back to the crimson package, if not.
Math support is provided by means of newtxmath
Fixes: #9974, #9976
This addresses #6543 by adding an option to prevent fonts such as Palatino and Times to automatically adapt the math font (IOW it lets you load the text font only for a bunch of fonts where this is easily possible).
Furthermore it adds an interface to select a specific math font, which is defined in latexfonts. Currently, this is only euler (the only one I know), but if there are other math-only tex fonts, they can be added easily (but note that this changes the file format).
Non-TeX math fonts are not yet supported. Eventually, unicode-math support can use the existing UI, but this is not on my agenda.
The LaTeX font now do not specify simply alternative packages or packages for OT1 encoding etc., but they refer to complete AltFonts (which are not directly accessible via the GUI). This way, alternative fonts can also have options (osf, sc etc.), and they can use all sorts of initializing methods (\usepackage, \setrmfamily etc.).
