Thank you for posting that screenshot, Stephan. However, I believe I'm getting much better resolution than in your screenshot (under Lyx 2.1.2.2) on both my rMPB and my retina iMac by scaling up the resolution to the next higher setting above the default (on the iMac, the Displays preference pane calls it "2880x1620", but of course with the far higher retina pixel density) and using MinionPro as the screen font: http://cmenzel.org/LyX-screenshot.pdf. To my eyes, the scaled up setting has no effect on the quality of the display in other programs (though you might want to use larger fonts than you would with the default setting). Others screen fonts that (unlike MinionPro <http://kieranhealy.org/blog/archives/2012/11/10/installing-minion-pro/>) are part of the MacTeX 2014 distribution, e.g., Palatino, seem to me to look almost as good.
