It delivers too.
Add new fonts for Latex and Lyx is
very dificult for me. I don´t understand instrucction
for it. For me instruction look like a hot hell.
It's not that bad, once one wraps one's mind around what needs to be
done and why. XeTeX is a much better option though as I alluded to in
my TUG2003 paper:
http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb24-2/tb77adams.pdf
There've been some articles on using LyX w/ xetex in TUGboat if
memory serves.
XeTeX work with Lyx?
W/ xelatex, yes.
You do need to be careful of which packages are used (babel in
particular is awkward), but for the most part, xetex is a drop-in
replacement for tex, and xelatex is a straight-forward usage of LaTeX.
Here's a page w/ specific instructions:

(which need to be up-dated re: LyX handling UTF8 if I understand the
new features of LyX v1.5)
