Will,

on my 64 bit system, it works
and I have only these fonts installed

font-adobe-dpi75                        1.0.2-1
font-adobe-utopia-dpi75                 1.0.3-1
font-alias                              1.0.3-1
font-bh-dpi75                           1.0.2-1
font-bh-lucidatypewriter-dpi75          1.0.2-1
font-bitstream-dpi75                    1.0.2-1
font-bitstream-type1                    1.0.2-1
font-cursor-misc                        1.0.2-1
font-encodings                          1.0.4-1
font-misc-misc                          1.1.1-1
font-tektronix-misc                     2.6-4
ghostscript-fonts-other                 6.0-1
ghostscript-fonts-std                   8.11-1
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended

Looking at strace output it seems to use only

font-bitstream-type1-1.0.2-1
font-adobe-dpi75-1.0.2-1
and its own fonts in
/usr/share/lyx/fonts/

Regards
Marco
