There is _no_ such problem with current up-to-date TL2023. Herbert

I'm using lualatex to produce pdf. In document/settings/fonts, I'm set to using all defaults. If I don't check 'use non-TeX fonts', the output looks good. If I do check 'use non-TeX fonts', the fonts look much thinner and to my eye not very pleasing. Again I have not changed any font settings from defaults.And that’s why they don’t look good. You need to choose one from the drop-down list. The problem with using non-TeX fonts is that there might not be a corresponding math font. One that does have a math font and that looks quite nice is Cambria. If you are using MacOS or Windows you should have it on your machine if you’ve installed Office 365 or a standalone of any of the usual Microsoft applications. To get the corresponding math font once you’ve selected Cambria from the drop-down, add the following to the preamble: \usepackage{unicode-math} \setmathfont{Cambria Math} If you’re using Linux, there are instructions to be found on the interwebs for installing the Microsoft fonts Cambria, Calibri, and Consolas. They are extracted from the old PowerPoint Viewer, which Microsoft released for free and hence (so I recall gathering from discussions in various forums) can be extracted and used legally.Is there a recommended alternative set of fonts?For TeX fonts, I really like New PX <https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/newpx/>, a descendent of Palatino with a very nice math font. Add the following to your preamble (and select “Default” from the drop-down font list): \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{newpxtext,newpxmath} Vastly superior aesthetically to the long outdated (but still, sadly, oft-used) Computer Modern default. Chris Menzel I just tried out the New PX alternative. It looks good except for one strange problem. In the top of the paper is author name and authormark. Authormark (1 author) will be an asterisk. With CM the asterisk is in the normal position, but with New PX the asterisk is about the middle of the text height, not in a superscript position. Since this is right at the top of the paper and glaringly obvious I don't think I can use it. -- /Those who don't understand recursion are doomed to repeat it/
