Unfortunately, my knowledge of C++ and the LyX code is too limited to
provide a patch, but:

Please consider Ticket #9744: "allow parallel configuration of TeX and
non-TeX fonts"

Try "View>PDF (XeTeX)" with the LyX manuals to see why this is important
(compiling fails, because the combination of XeTeX and TeX-fonts is poorly
supported by both, LaTeX and LyX).

I propose a new config value "automatic" for "use non-TeX fonts". The
effect of useNonTeXFonts == "automatic" would be to use TeX fonts with
8-bit engines and non-TeX fonts with Unicode-enabled engines (XeTeX,
LuaTeX).
