Do you mean that in lyxrc we should store two variable for each font:
family & foundary (e.g. roman_font_family/roman_font_foundry) ?
Also, should we use in the preferences file:
\screen_font_roman & \screen_font_roman_foundry
or
\screen_font_roman_family & \screen_font_roman_foundry

Here is what should be done:
1. In lyxrc.C, we should be able to read old preferences file
(or perhaps we should write a preferences file converter ?).
2. In the frontend font loader, the code should combine the family &
foundry to the appropriate format:
-foundry-family in xforms (or -*-family in foundry is empty)
family-foundry in QT2 (or family if foundry is empty)
family [foundry] in QT3 ("")
3. In the QT preferences dialog, we should convert between family,foundry
pair and the formats above when setting or reading the font combox.
4. What should be done in the XForms dialog ?
The alternatives are:
- For each font, replace the text input widget by a combox like the QT
preferences dialog.
- Create two text input widgets for each font.
- Leave the dialog unchanged, but allow writing either
"family" or "-foundary-family" in the dialog input widget.
I'll try implementing this later today.
