I'm trying to create a Layout for user manuals for a couple of software applications we made.

One important aspect of the layout is that it must use TrueType fonts.

In my .lyx documents, I found a "\use_non_text_fonts true" line, and I added to my layout, but it doesn't work.

Where and how I must declare this?

@Leonardo It's not clear what you are asking. What font to use seems to be a distinct issue from what the layout should be. – Seamus Mar 16 '11 at 15:55

What you want to do is to use XeLaTeX with LyX. The following link LyX/XeTeX may be a bit out of date, but should get you started. – Alan Munn Mar 16 '11 at 17:06
@Seamus a "layout" in LyX has nothing to do with lying out the page directly; it's (roughly) LyX's internal representation of a documentclass+engine combination. – Alan Munn Mar 16 '11 at 17:09
@Seamus. I want to create something like a stylesheet for manuals, so, when I change something in it, all affected documents can be updated automatically. – user4277 Mar 16 '11 at 17:19
@Alan, I know that, and in fact, I use XeLaTex. – user4277 Mar 16 '11 at 17:20

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.
