You're right: seems that you're trying to use Times. You might have chosen
this font for your document in LyX Layout menu to have outlined fonts instead
of raster fonts in the output (your original problem, as far as I can recall).
Since there is no such a thing as LGR encoded fonts for Postscript Times, you
get font substitution, or no output...
Again, I suggest you to use the cm-lgc package. Alexej just uploaded a newer
version to CTAN a couple of days ago, now including OT1 and OT2 for Latin and
Cyrillic. Greek is fully LGC compliant.
Good luck,
Luis.
