Matching math font with TG Pagella

[Daniel CLEMENT]

Hello,

I like to use the TexGyre Pagella font in many documents, better that
Palatino which lacks ligatures.

However, Palatino triggers a nice matching font for maths, and I was
never able to get it with TG Pagella, at least under LyX 2.0.6.

Now that I've installed LyX 2.1.1, I wondered if perhaps it was easier
to achieve, but I can't find how to do it in the new fonts settings
dialog box.

Do I have to add a package or something in the preamble?

TIA - best regards,

[Guenter Milde]

You may try the newpx package.

Thanks a lot, that works beautifully. The newpxmath font is very nice.

Just out of curiosity, and to check that I'm doing things properly:
- I select TexGyge Pagella in LyX's fonts dialog;
- but I can't choose newpxmath from there so I have to add
\usepackage{newpxmath}
to my document preamble.

Is that correct?

This is how I would do it.

Alternatively, you could also load Palatino in the font dialogue
and overwrite the text font with tgpagella in the preamble

\usepackage{tgpagella}

This would result in the standard "mathpazo" symbols and fonts for formulae
and TG Pagella in the text.

With XeTeX/LuaTeX, you can use "unicode-math" with the Asana-Math fonts for
maths and the OpenType Pagella for text.

It would be pretty trivial to add support for newpxmath to LyX (although it
involves a file format change). You can take this as a model:
