The ENG character is not properly representable with most PostScript fonts (one of five affected glyphs, see LaTeX Companion, p. 417). LaTeX's standard font (cm) has it, Palatino (used by tufte-handout) doesn't, that's why you get the black ink blob. Workaround: force using the tipa font by a.) inserting \textipa{N} or \textipa{\ng} in ERT b.) Insert->Special Characters->Phonetic Symbols (or Ctrl-Alt-P) to get to TIPA-mode and then insert "N". This has the advantage of instant preview and automatic loading of the tipa package. Jürgen PS. this is one of the reasons why I recommend to learn the tipa shortcut notation and to use the TIPA-mode rather than pasting IPA chars into LyX.
