If you want to have sans-serif font for your document, then DON'T use
the character dialog for that (this is what you do in a word-processor,
but lyx is not a word-processor!)
The correct way to do it in LyX is to add the line
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
to the preamble.
(and use the reset option of the character dialog to revert the text style
to normal).
