LOL. It's one of those funny things about LyX that the main idea of the
program is to provicde an interface to LaTeX (and increasingly other formats)
that is simple enough that you can concentrate on your writing rather than
your formatting, but in practice LyX is written and for the most part used by
dedicated LaTeX hackers.

I too would like to know this (in fact it was probably me who asked the
original question). In terms of wishlists, I think I mentioned an add/remove
font dialogue would be nice. Actually getting LyX to install PostScripts
fonts would probably be too much to ask for, but controlling which fonts were
displayed in the Layout popup would be pretty simple.
