Package: lyx
Version: 2.0.0-1
Severity: minor
Last night I tried enabling support for non-TeX fonts using the
checkbox in the Document -> Settings... panel. However, I found that the
checkbox was unselectable. Eventually I discovered that, while 'xetex' was
installed, 'xelatex' was not. I installed the Debian package
'texlive-xetex', reconfigured and restarted LyX, and the checkbox became
selectable. (I also had 'luatex' installed, but LyX apparently didn't see
it.)
However, once I tried to create a preview of a document, the
operation failed, claiming that the file 'etoolbox.sty' could not be found.
After mucking around in aptitude for a while, I found the package
'etoolbox'. After installing it, the new problem went away and I was able
to create documents with non-TeX fonts.
All told, it took me about a half hour to get it working.
Neither of the packages 'texlive-xetex' nor 'etoolbox' are listed as
dependencies of LyX. Both need to be installed for non-TeX fonts to work.
While they probably shouldn't be marked as "Depends," it might be a good
idea to list them as "Suggests" or possibly "Recommends."
Please consider updating LyX's dependencies to avoid this confusion.
