You can. For example, if you defined a new command \mycommand that looks like two colons very close togther, you could write \def\mycommand{:\kern-1mu :} in lib symbols to make it display in mathed. What you can not do is add a new font, because that needs support from within LyX. > I know it might be useful > for entering IPA symbols that I don't enter very often.
