Actually, there is also a version of Libertine for use with traditional LaTeX (via the "libertine" package). >> But, Libertine is not listed in LyX’s drop down list of fonts even though it >> is part of my latex distribution.

No. Better support for more of the font packages is a long standing feature request. You might want to vote for the relevant ticket at bugs.lyx.org. For the time beeing: * set (or leave) the font(s) as [Default] * read the font-package's documentation * insert the command(s) and options recommended there in the "LaTeX preamble". As screen-font and print-font are "de-coupled" anyway, there is no disadvantage of this approach once the correct command (usually a \usepackage{the-font-package}) is in place.
