Does putting a font command in one of \fancyhead{} or \fancyfoot{} not do what
you need? For instance, the docs tell you to do \fancyhead{\bfseries blahblah}.
It seems to me you could use any other font selection command just as well.

Isn't it the case that the next version of LyX will have the option to compile
with other toolkits, such as GTK? This might solve your problem, but you will

That means that it is not in your "path", the list of directories where Linux
looks for the programs you run at the command line, or it is still not
installed. I notice that in the list of stuff you installed, there is no LyX.
Did you install LyX?

I decieded to go with latex tabbing. This introduces a problem which seems to

When I spell a word wrong, I tend to spell it consistently wrong. A 'correct
