Yes, you should create a macro.
In your preamble put something like :
\newcommand\stacia [1]{\usefont{T1}{stacish}{m}{n}%
\selectfont%
#1%
\normalfont}
and then in your text an ert with for example \stacia{Hartleben}
With LyX 1.4 you can even use the character style and do the last part
without ert. It is documented in the Wiki.
Look in your LaTeX manual how you can create macros. It is easy to do and
can save you a lot of time.

\newcommand\stacia[1]{%

and then in your text an ert with for example \stacia{Hartleben}
and then in your text an ert with for {\large example \stacia{Hartleben} and
so on}
also works.

I guess it is \bgroup
Herbert, can you explain what is the purpose of \begingroup \endgroup ? The
TLC2 (my Bible) is not very clear about it.

inside a group everything is local. And I have the old
behaviour after leaving this macro (group). Means same font,
same lengths, etc

selecting special fonts
Is there a better way to select special special fonts other than doing
ERT? I know under character I can change it to san serif or whatever
but for a special font I installed I have to do something like this:
\usefont{T1}{stacish}{m}{n} \selectfont myword \usefont{T1}{ae}{m}{n}
\selectfont
in a huge ERT snippet.
