Actually, there is also a version of Libertine for use with traditional
LaTeX (via the "libertine" package).

Even not all fonts of the LaTeX core...

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.
