Virgil,
the first part of your mail should perhaps go into Steves
Using the TeX Gyre Century Schoolbook Equivalent Fonts
http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/texgyre.htm#xx_copy

It explains for people like me the way the fonts are made available for different programs.
Thanks for it
Wolfgang

I'm no expert (especially with Debian), but it sounds to me as if the fonts you're trying to use have not been unstalled in your Debian system (as opposed to being installed in TeXLive).

When you tell LyX to use "non-Tex fonts" through XeTeX/LuaTeX, you're telling LyX to use the fonts available to your OS apart from TeX. These would be the fonts available to all of your other programs, such as LibreOffice (if you have it). These fonts are different from those installed by TeXLive. The TeXLive fonts are generally available to TeX/LaTeX/LyX systems when compiling using PDFLaTeX (as opposed to XeTeX). The TeXLive fonts are generally not available to non-TeX programs as they are installed somewhere within the TeXLive file structure separate and apart from OS system fonts.

As a test, I would open another non-TeX program that uses system fonts (such as LibreOffice or OpenOffice or whatever else you have on your system) and see if the desired fonts are available within that program. If they are not, then that would indicate to me that they are not installed as OS system fonts.

If they are not installed as OS system fonts, then you'll need to install them to your Debian system. On that point, I can't help further as I know nothing about where Debian installs system fonts or the methods it uses to install them.
