This is about 8-bit TeX fonts, that usually come with a LaTeX package to use
them or some other description/examples for use with LaTeX.

In your case, you should set 

  [x] use non-TeX fonts
  
(or whatever it is called nowadays) in Document>Settings>Fonts
and then select your font from the list.

This will use XeTeX or LuaTeX for compilation - TeX-engines that can work
with Unicode-encoded system fonts.

Remember, that in LyX the screen font and the document font will usually
differ: to change the screen font, use Tools>Settings.
