Which font is that? I don't think there's a font named ttf-lyx. That's only the package name.
sure...
Well, some of the fonts included in the package work for writing text: cmr10 (Computer Modern) and eufm10 (Euler Fraktur). The rest are symbol fonts, though.
sure, I was only talking about the symbol fonts.
But there are fonts like OpenSymbol and Zapf Dingbats visible in the selector. Do you think they should be hidden too?
Yes, I've already filed a bug against ttf-opensymbol (#611969).
Agreed. But then I think all symbol fonts should be hidden. Is there a consensus about this?
Not yet, but I've filed bugs about this against all the fonts I have discovered so far (i.e. ttf-lyx and ttf-opensymbol) and also against fontconfig (#611274) to provide a feature to hide these fonts by default based on specific tags (i.e. keywords in fonts.conf).
According to fonts-conf(5): "Fonts matched by an rejectfont element are "blacklisted"; such fonts are excluded from the set of fonts used to resolve list and match requests as if they didn't exist in the system." AIUI, that means the fonts are not only unlisted, but will in fact never be used.
Oh, well, that's a bit strong I guess. So my request against fontconfig to only hide these fonts from font selectors while still keeping them available on the systems is valid.
