With XeTeX, you can configure the use of an alternative font with the well documented fontspec package. Then you can switch between the two fonts with ERT or a custom text style and use the dice symbol characters in the LyX source. All you need is a Unicode-encoded font with the dice symbols. See the fontspec documentation for details. Günter
