Any easy way to switch to all stix fonts (lyx > 2.0)?

What for (Text/Math/both)?

I recommend using XITS (a re-packed STIX font) and the unicode-math
package.

Assuming I can find XITS (I'm using fedora linux - stix is a standard (set) of
packages available on fedora), then what is the procedure? Go to document/
settings/fonts, choose non-tex fonts, then what?

I found xits is available from the fedora texlive-2010 packages. Cool!

But not much joy. I tried setting roman font to XITS. OK so far. But if I add
\usepackage{unicode-math}
to preamble I get errors from constructs like $H'$: same as
http://www.mail-archive.com/***@tug.org/msg02499.html

There it says
The error goes away if you set a math font using the \setmathfont command
as in
\setmathfont{Asana Math}

OK, so I can't seem to do this in lyx, so I export to tex, and add
\setmathfont{XITS Math} after \begin{document}.

Then it compiles OK, but looks wrong. For one thing, my matrixes, which had []
around them, are shown with the wrong size [] (as if they were not extensible
characters, they just look text size).

Also, as it is an OpenType font, it can be easy installed in any recent
Linux (download to the ~/.fonts/ directory should suffice).

Why not simply putting

\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmathfont{XITS Math}

in the user preamble (or use ERT)?

This looks like th known XeTeX bug with 64-bit systems. (I was bitten by
it, too (Debian/testing, TeXLive2009, hand-installed unicode-math).)
I first thought it was a problem of a font but it happened also with
Asana Math and Neo Euler and was confirmed on comp.text.tex.

With texlive 2010, you could try whether it works with LuaTeX.

I just updated to texlive 2011 (packaged for fedora by :
Jindrich Novy <***@redhat.com>

The bug is fixed! Both xetex and luatex give good results.

I used this in the preamble:
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmathfont{XITS Math}
