Did you use XeTeX with 1.6? How?

The error it shows that LyX generates the PDF with the XeTeX engine
using a completely different set of fonts compared to the LyX 1.x default
engine (pdflatex or latex + dvips + ps2pdf)?

If you used pdflatex before, you can reset to using it via un-ticking
"use non-TeX fonts" under Document>Settings>Fonts.

Otherwise, check for non-utf8 input, languages using other scripts (babel
will try standard TeX fonts then), ...

Maybe it is not a font issue at all:
