HTH,
I had a bad link to qtconfig, but when I installed qtconfig-qt4 it now 
works.  Excellent, thanks.  I can't imagine why that wasn't a part of 
the qt package in debian.  I can now read the menus.

I recommend compiling LyX 2.2.0 with Qt 5.6. The latter knows about
high-dpi monitors, and it uses the system settings to select the
appropriate magnification.
And what "system settings" allow me to change the fontsize globally?  I 
use xfce4, and have also been looking for that.

Have you tried
Right click on the menu panel and select Huge icons?

That changes the size of the icons, not the text of menus.

Most things are working great, but some, like LyX, do not make it easy
to enlarge the menu fonts.  With a standard HD monitor, 1920x1080 in a
12.6" size (32cm), and my cruddy vision, menu fonts are impossible.  I
found advice to adjust the Qt fonts with "qtconfig" -- but the program
does not exist (its a broken symlink).  The suggestions I read were from
2010.  Does anyone have a more recent experience with this font
problem?  I want to make all of the menu and related fonts considerably
larger.  I am using LyX 2.2.0, with Qt 4.8.7, which is standard on
debian testing.



I recommend compiling LyX 2.2.0 with Qt 5.6. The latter knows about
high-dpi monitors, and it uses the system settings to select the
appropriate magnification.

Great, thanks a lot.

This  edits the ~/.config/Trolltech.conf file.
Any way to set these preferences globally on a site ?

I would like a fresh lyx-1.5.0 user to get the right font menu
without calling qtconfig.
