Attached is a screenshot showing two problems:
1. The letter "ĵ", a special letter of the Esperanto language, is
represented as a black box in pdf and dvi output.
This is beacuse the font you are using doesn't have this glyph. When you use the Latin Modern Fonts,
it works. In the UserGuide you find in sec. 6.15.3 you find under "From ISO8859--2 through 4:" a j
with a circumflex and can see that it appears correctly in the PDF output.
(You must have the Latin Modern Fonts installed. They are provided as separate Debian/Ubuntu package
and also as TeXLive package.)
If I produce the very same document in OpenOffice with the very same
fonts, everything is fine. That is, I'm just guessing they are the same
because they're the same names. Does Lyx use own font files or aren't
they part of the system?
LyX doesn't have fonts. All fonts you can select in the document settings are the ones installed in
your LaTeX system. And Palatino is not Palatino - the Palatino font available for LaTeX might miss
some glyphs.
2. The line formatting isn't exactly as expected, some simply seem to
escape justification. Is it because I don't have en Esperanto dictionary
installed and it doesn't know how to properly hyphenate?
The dictionary is only needed to be able to spell-check your document. But there is an aspell
Esperanto dictionary available:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/0index.html
For hypehnation, you must install Esperanto hyphenation patterns. The LaTeX distribution TeXLive has
a package that installas this:

hyphen-esperanto.tpm
