The list is hard-coded into the source, so the only way to change it is to change the source code. This will hopefully change in the future.

It's one of those funny things about LyX that the main idea of the program is to provicde an interface to LaTeX (and increasingly other formats) that is simple enough that you can concentrate on your writing rather than your formatting, but in practice LyX is written and for the most part used by dedicated LaTeX hackers.

I too would like to know this (in fact it was probably me who asked the original question). In terms of wishlists, I think I mentioned an add/remove font dialogue would be nice. Actually getting LyX to install PostScripts fonts would probably be too much to ask for, but controlling which fonts were displayed in the Layout popup would be pretty simple. Robin

List of fonts in Document popup
I found something in the archives from someone who wanted to know where LyX gets the list of fonts that shows up in the Document popup. The answer was, well, typical of this list ;-) -- namely, 'you don't want more fonts there-- load them by hand from the preamble'. Now, I don't want -every- font in there, but I would like a few more than I have now. So: Where does LyX get that list, and how do I get more fonts into it?
