The Arial clone comes in a package. You must follow the instruction provide in the link I sent you: Go to Document>>Setting»Latex Preamble and type (or cut and paste the following) \usepackage[scaled]{uarial} \renewcommand*\familydefault{\sfdefault} %% Only if the base font of the document is to be sans serif \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} The last instruction may not be necessary.
