Yes, in 'Tool -> Preferences -> Look & Feel -> Screen Fonts' I've tried
all the serif faces that I've got: the all have the same problem.
I believe I've read that LyX (actually TeX) uses bit mapped fonts by
default. It wasn't clear how to get non-bitmapped fonts.

Monitor resolution: 1920 x 1080 (not HiDPI)
Here are links to screenshots (files on google drive)
eg 0 zoom=150% (default)
eg 1 zoom=125%
eg 2 zoom=100%
eg 3 zoom=75%
The "zoom" refers to zoom specification in Tool -> Preferences -> Look &
Feel -> Screen Fonts. 150% was the initial value.
Note that e.g going from 150% to 125%, the darkness of letters becomes
uneven.
Have you tried changing the display font? See Tools > Prefs > Screen fonts.

On a new, vanilla LyX installation (version 2.2.0-1), all the 'Help'
documents (Introduction, Tutorial, etc.) are displayed with very large
fonts. However, if I zoom to correct this ('alt -' on my system), the
quality of the font degrades badly. Going in the other direction does NOT
effect the quality.
What resolution, and is it HiDPI? Please provide a screenhot (before
and after the problem).

I've tried changing various fonts (using Tools -> Preferences -> Look & Feel
-> Screen Fonts) and get the same effect for all the fonts I've tried. I
also note that in the preferences, the default zoom is 150%, which seems
odd.
I wonder if the problem has to do with the font's being used. I've looked
through the LyX documentation, but it's not clear how to use non-bitmapped
fonts in Tools->Preferences-> ... -> Screen Fonts. I haven't found any
reference to this problem in the LyX documentation, LyX mailing lists, or
anywhere else
FYI I'm running on Arch Linux. I tried installing texlive. That had no
apparent effect, although I it's not clear whether LyX detects it
automatically, of if I have to do something.
I'd appreciate any thoughts on how to fix this. I really can't proceed to
learn and use LyX if I can't fix this.
Thanks
