Has there been any thought to using these for display of math in LyX?
LyX uses latex, so this can be arranged once they release their
latex support package. You will probably just need a "usepackage"
line in the preamble, until support is added in LyX itself.
It _is_ possible to use just about any font (even unsupported ones)
with LyX, but this is far from trivial. I spent a few days figuring it
out some years ago, but that was a text font. Math fonts are harder.
Math fonts in LyX are hardcoded to use the "modern font" package (the
so-called bakoma fonts).
LyX itself supports one math font, but I have no problem using
\usepackage{mathpazo} to get a different font for math.
If stix provides us with a similiar package, then the
same simple trick ought to work?
There is no other choice. I would be a good idea to use the Stix fonts
instead which supports Unicode code points. LateX support is another
story (but independent from math viewing within LyX).
Now I see the misunderstanding. I was thinking about the printed
result, not the view inside LyX. I have never worried about that at all.
