So my question: Can I copy the files somewhere manually and do a FNDB database update? If so, which of the files would I need and where should I put them? thanks SK

Oh, never mind, just found out that the stuff I found are just a wrapper for corel fonts which I don't have anyway.

Dear Lyx Users,
I have the following question: how can I install a new font so I can use

where would I put them and what would I have to do, to get Lyx to find
them?
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 DocumentSettingsFonts and set the fonts
to Default.
Now open DocumentSettingsLaTeX 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.
