No, but LyX knows only some of the Fonts LaTeX provides. You will go
betterš if you set the document font to "Default" in Format->Document
and add the Fonts you want via LaTeX commands in the Document preamble
(Format -> Document -> LaTeX Preable). There you can add
  \usepackage{<fontname>}
for example
  \usepackage{charter}
or
  \usepackage{lmodern}
(lmodern and charter have to be installed beforehand in MikTeX). So you
can use the full wealth of LaTeX fonts. Hopefully LyX's knowledge of
fonts will improve at some time in the future.
Yours,
Karsten
šIn fact many font packages used by LyX are heavily outdated, so it's
always a good idea to select Fonts by hand.
