Found an annoying glitch and have no idea on how to solve the problem.
I create an empty document, type "Hello world", press Ctrl+R, and the document compiles ok. But If I go Document->Settings->Fonts and just check "Use Non-Tex fonts (via XeTeX/LuaTeX)", the file refuses to compile, LyX giges out strange things like:
Undefined control sequence,
LaTeX error: Missing \begin{document}
etc.
Funny, but LyX 2.0.2 has the same glitch, but it fails to compile saying some *.dvi file does not exist in Temp folder.
And what is more funny, I have LyX 2.0.0 on my laptop and it has no such problems with Non-TeX fonts at all.
What could it be?
Using LyX 2.0.1 (also tried 2.0.2) with MikTeX 2.9.
A side question: can I somehow export settings from LyX on my laptop and import them to another PC?

Problems with Non-TeX Fonts
Hi,
in such cases it would be good if you would post complete error messages. Here's just information missing, for example to which control sequence (command) the error "Undefined control sequence" refers to. You could post the .log file as attachment to the forum post, or a
minimal working example, even a .lyx file could be attached.
The missing information may be the reason why you did not get an answer yet.
Next time perhaps tell more and provide code and error messages.

Hi Stefan,
You know, I have to apologize - somehow it started working again.
And yes, next time I will keep in mind I have to attach the lyx file and error message(s).
Thanks!
