As I complained in the original post, I didn't quite like them. It's nice to know that LyX is able to perform such substitutions on the fly, but in this case it's not what I want. > When using xetex/luatex (documents-> settings-> fonts), and choosing > "Palatina Lynotype" font, they are replaced by a spiral in the pdf.

(See attached.) I think I may go with this solution. The only caveat is that this assumes that you don't use Sans for much else in the document. Thank you Liviu
