Thank-you both for the replies. Liviu, the scroll bar + Control combo
is exactly the sort of thing that may be buried in the docs somewhere,
but I had no idea about. If it is buried somewhere therein, I'm glad I
didn't have to read through a lot of tiny font first to find it, so
thank-you. As I wrote, I did find the Preferences -> Screen fonts and
changed that from 120% to 200%, but thanks for your comments. My point
is just that mentioning this as item #1 would be helpful for others like
me so we don't have a bunch of eye strain before finding that out.

I am a brand new user to Lyx. The first thing I noticed when I started
to read the documentation after downloading it was how small the font
was and how hard on my eyes. I did find the preferences and changed it
from 120% to 200% but saying a word about that up front would help
prevent eye strain for others like me, prior to reading a bunch of tiny
font to learn about the system first.

Hi James
If you are reading the files within LyX you can go to Tools>Preferences>Look
and feel>Screen fonts and adjust the Zoom%. Mine is currently 150%.
You can also adjust the zoom using the ctrl+scrollwheel combo. And you
can simply compile (View) the document, read it in your PDF viewer,
and adjust the zoom as per your preferences.
This said, I agree, perhaps mentioning this in the docs is worthwhile.

Liviu
This setting only applies to the screen fonts; it has no effect on the fonts in
the document.
