Hello,
I too am using LyX 1.2.2 under Cygwin. I'm not familiar with M-z-f,
though; it's not in any of the key binding files I have.
At any rate, here's how I get bold Greek letters in LyX (may not be the
most efficient, but it seems to work).
1. Make sure that the package amsbsy is being loaded. I use the amsart
class a lot, which seems to load it automatically. If in doubt, export
the article to latex and check the latex file. If amsbsy is not being
loaded, add \usepackage{amsbsy} to your document preamble.
2. In math context, type \boldsymbol{\pi} rather than just \pi, etc. If
you're industrious, I suppose you could make up key bindings to do this.
The boldface button in the Math panel doesn't seem to work for this,
which is unfortunate.
One other note: I like to use psfonts in my documents, but I cannot get
bold Greek to work with psfonts. It works ok with default fonts.
