It should be possible to download the package from CTAN and install by
hand. However, font installation is a bit tricky and details depend on the
distribution -- I cant help with miketex as I use TeXLive under Debian.

 Using my current way the footnotes, headlines, page 
 numbers don't use the frutiger font :-(

Find out if there is a font package coming with your font. If not, create
one (requires lots of documentation-reading) or whatever.

Best try this under LaTeX without LyX - removes one layer of obscurity.

Don't expect to show the font in the LyX menu. Use [default] there and
insert the code you would normally put in the preamble of the LaTeX
document into the user-preamble.

 The question is: As the new font FGrutiger doesn't appear at the font list
 in Dokument -- Preferentes -- Fonts - how to set them as the standard
 font for the document? As a workarround I added the command
 '\fontfamily{pfr}\selectfont' at an TEX-Environment at the beginning of the
 lyx-file - but is this the right way?


No. Probably you should do something like
\usepackage{frutiger}

instead (given that you use Walter Schmidt's frutiger package from here:

LOL. 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.

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?

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.

LOL. 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.

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?

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.
