How do you change background color and put a frame

The following works in LyX 1.5.x; not sure about 1.4.x.
1. Add \usepackage{xcolor} to the preamble.
2. Select your paragraphs and then Insert - Box to put them in a
minipage.
3. Right-click the handle of the minipage and adjust the settings.
You want minipage for the box type, and no frame decoration (it's coming
later). You'll probably want to adjust the box width to conform to the
surrounding margins.
4. If the left side of the box is not where you want it, put the cursor
just before the box handle and use the paragraph settings button to
toggle indent on or off (whichever you need).
5. If you are indenting paragraphs, insert the following in ERT as the
first bit of the box content: \setlength{\parindent}{3ex}. (Adjust
the indentation amount to taste.) LaTeX apparently zeros out the
paragraph indentation inside a minipage.
6. Place the following in ERT just before the box:
\fcolorbox{black}{cyan}{. The first color is the frame color, the
second is the background color (again, adjust to taste). Put } in ERT
just after the box.
The box will be treated as an indivisible block (if any of it trails
over to the next page, the whole box will move).

Does true TTF work in LyX on Linux
Him, I am using Ubuntu Feisty. I want to create PDF documents with LyX that use well-defined (not fuzzy) fonts. I understand the whole pixmap thing and for printing, they're great. But in all the PDF files I produce, they look fuzzy. I tried the lmodern and the ae thing, but they are still fuzzy on screen. I need to produce a PDF document that does not fuzz up when I zoom to 200% or 300%. So far, I haven't been able to do that on Linux. Is it possible at all with LyX? Or do I need to go the OpenOffice route? Or am I missing something with the explanations on the Wiki? If you have used them, especially on Linux, and the PDF documents are as clear when exporting from OpenOffice, please share how you did it.
