You have to add these texlive fonts to your system.

1.) create file "/etc/fonts/conf.d/09-texlive-fonts.conf"
    e.g.
	$ sudo cp `kpsewhich -var-value
		TEXMFSYSVAR`/fonts/conf/texlive-fontconfig.conf /etc/fonts/conf.avail/09-texlive-fonts.conf
    make a symbolic link for your system
	$ sudo ln
		-s ../conf.avail/09-texlive-fonts.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/09-texlive-fonts.conf
    The content should be something like:
	<?xml version="1.0"?>
	<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
	<fontconfig>
	  <dir>/usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype</dir>
	  <dir>/usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype</dir>
	  <dir>/usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-dist/fonts/type1</dir>
	  <dir>/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/opentype</dir>
	  <dir>/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/truetype</dir>
	  <dir>/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/type1</dir>
	</fontconfig>
    provided you installed texlive under /usr/local/texlive/2021
2.) Make your system aware of this
    $ sudo fc-cache -fsv

3.) Reconfigure lyx
