So wouldn't you specify something like:
-*-verdana
or even:
-microsoft-verdana
for sans serif font and :
-*-times new roman
for Roman? These should find exactly those fonts you want.
So what are you complaining about?
If you specify:
-*-times
and your xfs is setup to also match "-*-times new roman" for this
pattern then sure you may get a mix of fonts being used with scalable
fonts selected but that would be your own dumb fault wouldn't it?
LyX should select a perfect match unscaled font over a scaled font of
any sort. If a perfect match unscaled doesn't exist we go for the
matched scaled font (real scaled font with a 0 or two in its
description) and then depending upn your preference setting should
match scaled bitmap fonts.
Is this a problem? Maybe we need two preferences instead:
\allow_scalable_fonts (really truely scalable fonts)
\allow_scaling_bitmap_fonts
