If you want to stick with LaTeX, try the Latin Modern fonts which are modern book fonts; if you enable XeTeX, you can have whatever system fonts you have. Note that these changes will make no difference to your input screen fonts which are controlled by Tools>Preferences>Screen fonts. BTW this forum is for problems with the documentation, rather than general problems with LyX for which you should consult the maiin user forum. John --
