If you just tell LyX to use helvetica as font, this will not do the job
completely, as page numbers etc. are still printed in a roman font. However, you
can tell TeX to use Helvetica as default "roman" (not really, then...) font by
inserting the following commands into the LaTeX preamble:
\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{phv} % use Helvetica for sans serif fonts
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{phv} % use Helvetica for roman fonts
\renewcommand{\ttdefault}{pcr} % use courier for typewriter
Basically, this is the contents of the file times.sty, but of course with a
different definition for rmdefault. If you use mathematical symbols in your
document, you should also say
\usepackage{mathptm} % get times instead of modern for math symbols
**above** these three lines.

Albrecht.
