Apparently, as of a recent version, LyX loads mathptmx

In the short term, the workarounds are either to switch your
font to
something else or to export to LaTeX, manually edit out the
\usepackage{mathptmx} line and then manually compile the document.
Perhaps a developer can address why the change was made?
Short answer:
http://tug.ctan.org/get/info/l2tabu/english/l2tabuen.pdf
(sec. 2.3.1)
But as Paul has pointed out mathptmx has no bold symbols. Therefore
lyx has to
load something to the preamble in the case math boldsymbols are
required. Either
a \usepackage{bm} together with \usepackage{mathptmx} are added or
only
\usepackage{bm} is loaded. Please note that the first solution
produces math
boldsymbols with poor quality while the second uses Computer Modern
fonts.
Best regards
If you don't _have_ to use Times, why not choose Palatino? It is a
beautiful face, unlike Times. I'm happy as a clam -- boldface and all
-- with \usepackage[osf]{mathpazo} in the preamble.
