It depends whether LyX uses xft (only the QT frontend uses xft, assuming that you have an XFT enables version of QT). Xft: - Works only with the ttf fonts - Font should be installed on the remove machine - Works only if the local X server supports the RENDER extension (check with 'xdpyinfo|grep -i render'), although I think that with future versions of xft, this restriction will be removed. non Xft: - Works with the pfb fonts from latex (should also work with the ttf fonts) - Fonts should be installed on the local machine, and the X server should support Postscript fonts.
