sorry about the previous reply, i misunderstood what you wanted
to do.
as jens suggested, use the DeclareMathSizes command in the
preamble. you'll need four sizes:
\DeclareMathSizes{12}{10}{7}{5}
This assumes that the non-math text is 12pt.
You'll get 10pt for the math-font, 7pt for script fonts and 5pt for
script script font sizes.
One visually good thing is to use a 10:7:5 ratio for the mf, sf,
ssf so scale appropriately.

one silly thing to do is to increase the zoom size, which will
increase the font size for the entire document including math
fonts.
go to the preferences, screen fonts and then adjust the zoom
size.
hope that helps.

Yes, it wasn't clear what he means, but I'm guessing he wants a
larger font in the _output_ file (PDF). How about the following
method:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=mathsize
You should modify the \DeclareMathSizes command so that its first
argument is the document's text size, and the other arguments give
the desired math size.

Hi, sorry to not clarify.. Yes, when I input the text in Lyx it
is fine
and I can read it. But when I output the PDF, it is much much
smaller
and its hard to see. I looked at the link provided, but am not
clear on
what to do. I need to use the \DeclareMathSizes {x}
in my preamble? And that will make the output math text size x?
This is
a rather long document(thesis) so zooming in and changing that
would
alter figures which are set to a specific size etc so I would
rather not
go that route if possible...
Thanks!
Charles
I don't see any reason why figures should be affected in any way.
Maybe you should clarify some more. Are you trying to resize only one
single math equation, or only part of a single math equation, or all
math equations in your document?
I am trying to get all the math in my document appear larger in the
PDF
output. The \DeclareMathSizes{12}{10}{7}{5} didnt change anything
with
the math font. I ran lyx a few times to make sure it got it, but I
didnt see any difference... As for the zooming in, wouldnt I have to
change everything else to be smaller so that when it comes up it
doesnt
look huge? That seems more of a pain than to just make one small part
bigger.. Or am I missing the point? Thanks for the help,
Charles
What is the font size you chose in the LyX Document settings? If it's
not 12pt, the above by ittself won't work. To cover all the bases,
you can put in multiple declarations like
\DeclareMathSizes{12}{18}{12}{10}
\DeclareMathSizes{11}{18}{12}{10}
\DeclareMathSizes{10}{18}{12}{10}
What counts is that the first argument in one of these lines must be
the text font size of your document, as chosen in the Settings
dialog. You'll have to play with the math sizes yourself, it's a
matter of taste.
