Riki,
I have added your instructions to the LyX-wiki "Export to OpenDocument
(.odt) and Open Office XML (.docx) file formats with Pandoc".
Thanks!

Probably this should go into 2.4, but we'll see if anyone has
worries.

The reason for this is that, if you use non-TeX fonts, then the
immediate export is to a file that would be compiled with XeLaTeX
or
LuaTeX, and there is no converter defined to convert that format
to
ODT
or whatever.
Now that you write it it is quite clear, but it did not occur to me
when looking at Settings - Converter ...
The solution is to define one. This is easiest done I think in
the
configuration files themselves rather than in LyX. Find your user
directory and open the file lyxrc.defaults. In there, you will
find a
line like:
\converter latex odt3 "pandoc -s -f latex -o $$o -t
odt
$$i" ""
Copy it and open the file preferences. Paste twice but change it
to:
\converter xetex odt3 "pandoc -s -f latex -o $$o -t
odt
$$i" ""
\converter luatex odt3 "pandoc -s -f latex -o $$o -t
odt
$$i" ""
Save that file and open LyX. Should work, but not tested. The
same
kind
of thing will work for Word formats.
A quick test with a simple LyX-document produced docx- and odt-
output
without errors and with the expected formatting.
There may be some reason we do not include this by default:
Perhaps
pandoc is liable to choke on something we output in those modes.
Hopefully, someone else will know. But I'm guessing it's an
oversight.
I can understand that and will see how far I can get. Thank you for
your advice!
Tobias
