1. Install it so that it works with LaTeX. Try to find the documentation that comes with this font file or MikTeX documentation about font issues. 2. Test it with a small latex file. The "Bodoni doc" will (hopefully) give you a clue an the needed command to switch to Bodoni fonts, something like \usepackage{bodoni} Put this with example text in a bodonitest.tex file (or take an existing example) and run through latex. 3. In LyX, open Document>Settings>Fonts and set the fonts to "Default". Now open Document>Settings>LaTeX preamble and insert the font-choosing command. The on-screen fonts will remain unchanged but (if 2. was successful) the printout (DVI, PS, or PDF) will be in Bodoni. GM
