You can save these changes in your lyxrc File. Look at the
following lines:
--snip---
# The zoom percentage for screen fonts.
# A setting of 100% will make the fonts roughly the same size as on paper.
# However, since a screen is wider than a piece of paper, the default setting
# is 150%.
#\screen_zoom 100
# The screen fonts used to display the text while editing
# The defaults are:
#\screen_font_roman "-*-times"
#\screen_font_sans "-*-helvetica"
#\screen_font_typewriter "-*-courier"
# For some, this font looks better:
#\screen_font_roman "-*-utopia"
# Allow the use of scalable screen fonts? Default is true.
# If you choose "false", LyX will use the closest existing size for a match.
# Use this if the scalable fonts look bad and you have many fixed size fonts.
#\screen_font_scalable false
