Re: Screen font question-inline
ok, than we'll move to the deep stuff :-)-O I don't have Debian, but on my Mac there is a ~/.lyx directory where there is a file called lyxrc which has, in my case, \screen_font_roman "Noto Serif" \screen_font_sans "Noto Sans" \screen_font_typewriter "Noto Sans Mono" so you want end LyX, then locate the file and change that to read something like \screen_font_roman "DejaVu Serif" \screen_font_sans "DejaVu Sans" \screen_font_typewriter "Hack" and then start LyX again and see what that does. el On 20/04/2023 20:27, John White wrote: > Thank for the suggestion.

Not sure I understand "windowed" but nothing I do allows me to see the buttons. Again, Alt + or Alt - while in the lyx document being edited, works great. I have no need to fix it in Preferences.

A couple of things you might try with the dialog: 1. if the dialog is opening maximized (full screen), try clicking the middle button in the upper right corner to toggle it from full screen to windowed; and 2. if it is windowed (not maximized) and you still can't see the buttons, try grabbing the upper edge or top left corner with the mouse and resizing it. On my system, you can stretch or shrink the dialog window up to a point, but there is a minimum size below which you cannot go.

Re: Screen font question-inline
Thanks Pavel (and Doc - last email), Nothing I do seems to make the screen larger (or smaller) while on the screen-fonts page in Preferences. I will try again upon receiving further (and more specific) instructions. However, now that I know about (Alt - and Alt +) while in the lyx document, I am a happy camper and have no need to change screen fonts in Preferences.

Indeed it looks your screen is too small to show the whole dialog. It will be even worse with 2.4 and we should perhaps do something about it. Anyway for the moment, even though you don't see the buttons you should still be able to use them via accelerators, i.e. for OK button you need to press Alt+O.

John That's very odd. On my system, all the Tools > Preferences dialogs have the same frame, including buttons at the bottom labeled "Restore", "OK", "Apply" and "Close", along with a check box labeled "Apply to current session only". Could you post a screenshot of the preferences dialog you get? It may indicate a bug (or maybe something funky about Qt on your system?).

Re: Screen font question
On Lyx, my screen font window does not show an "Apply to current session only"
dialog.
Nor does it show any way to save the changes.

You can choose the fonts serif, sans & mono (drop down menu).
Next several options for the size (UI only).
And there is a bottom line with a check box ("Apply to current session only"), next to

Thanks Paul, I don't see a "Apply to current session only" warning. However I can write to the preferences file. However, I learned that while the lyx doc is open, ALT + or Alt - works great, so I will just do that until I figure out the problem (which is there is no "save" option on the screen when adjusting screen fonts).
