\fontfamily{pzc}\large {text} seems to work, but replacing \large by
\larger does not. What's up with that?

try \Large, \LARGE, \huge and \Huge

Thanks, Jürgen.


I was intrigued by this inquiry. Out of interest I read the replies to you question and I tried an experiment. It gave the expected result.
In the main text of my small document I did the following:
1. Added a TeX box i.e. ERT from the Lyx menu.
2. Inserted into the ERT box
    \fontfamily{pzc}\Large{ }
     Added some lines in Lyx "verse"
3. Added a TeX box i.e. ERT from the Lyx menu
4. Inserted into the ERT box
    \fontfamily{concrete}\normalize{ }

As I said earlier it gave the desired result.

I also notice that my Mandrake Linux OS appears to contain a calligraphic font under:
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/urw/zapfchan

A somewhat long and torturous example is given by the following URL:
