1. Install it so that it works with LaTeX.
Try to find the documentation that comes with this font file or
MikTeX documentation about font issues.
2. Test it with a small latex file. The "Bodoni doc" will (hopefully)
give you a clue an the needed command to switch to Bodoni fonts,
something like
\usepackage{bodoni}
Put this with example text in a bodonitest.tex file (or take an
existing example) and run through latex.
3. In LyX, open Document>Settings>Fonts and set the fonts
to "Default".
Now open Document>Settings>LaTeX preamble and insert the
font-choosing command.
The on-screen fonts will remain unchanged but (if 2. was successful) the
printout (DVI, PS, or PDF) will be in Bodoni.
