Sans-Serif: default, because I do not use sans serifs in the document. Otherwise, depending on the audience I'd take one of Iwona, Helvetica, Avant-Garde or a Vera-Sans variant (Bera or Arev). There are TeX-Gyre extensions for Helvetica and Avant-Garde as well (but not via the GUI). Typewriter: txtt (nice font with bold, slanted and small-caps, part of the txfonts bundle) "default" in the GUI and \renewcommand{\ttdefault}{txtt} in the LaTeX preamble. (see also http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4979) Although I am by far not a font-guru, I spend some amount of time and effort into the topic and compiled an up-to-date survey about "Free math fonts for LaTeX" (in German) with > 40 samples of both serif and sans-serif text-math font combinations. I just wonder, where to publish it. Günter
