Re: No screen font smoothing in a Parallels VM
Why on Earth would one want to run LyX on the Mac in a Virtual Machine using linux which runs LyX in X-WIndows or whatnot?

Re: No screen font smoothing in a Parallels VM
Problem solved! I upgraded to KDE Plasma version 5.14.2 (via the backports PPA) and LyX 2.3.1 and that solved the problem. (Not sure if either of itself would have done the job.) Thanks again to the LyX (and KDE) developers.
