Thanks Helge and Paul. I would prefer some construct like \require{my_file.foo} or \dependency{my_file.foo} That does absolutely nothing but making lyx copy this file to the temp directory as well. If that would be possible ...
I tried copying all related (even a bit too much) to my ~/.tex/fonts dir. (it does find style files there without problem) Also to ~/.tex/fonts/tfm and ~/.tex/fonts/vf. But apparantly it is not looking there because I get the same error. Also to ~/.tex now without success. It just does not seem to work before I copy those file to lyx temp dir in /tmp ~/.tex/fonts/ |-- AnnSton.afm |-- AnnSton.aux |-- AnnSton.dvi |-- AnnSton.fd |-- AnnSton.log |-- AnnSton.map |-- AnnSton.pfb |-- AnnSton.tex |-- AnnSton.tfm |-- tfm | |-- AnnSton.afm | |-- AnnSton.aux | |-- AnnSton.dvi | |-- AnnSton.fd | |-- AnnSton.log | |-- AnnSton.map | |-- AnnSton.pfb | |-- AnnSton.tex | `-- AnnSton.tfm `-- vf |-- AnnSton.afm |-- AnnSton.aux |-- AnnSton.dvi |-- AnnSton.fd |-- AnnSton.log |-- AnnSton.map |-- AnnSton.pfb |-- AnnSton.tex `-- AnnSton.tfm
