(Postscript font copyright adobe, or the URW version depending on your install and your printer). I don't have a recent version of LyX in front of me, but basically, the named fonts are all standard or common poscript (times, helvetica, palatino, etc.), and AE is a kind of extended computer modern character set, IIRC. If you mean, how do you access fonts like Helvetica from Plain TeX, the answer is that it isn't particularly easy, a google search in comp.text.tex might find you some pointers. Or if that *is* what the original questioner wants, I can look it up. If the OP wants to know how to access the fonts from LaTeX, that is an easy usepackage which can be spotted at the top of the .tex output from LyX. Jules
