Try changing the font of your LyX document. To do this, open the document, and then open the "document" menu and choose the "settings" item. Now choose the "fonts" page, and choose something for the "Roman" font.
To get the default font but less pixelated (what you call "pale"), choose "Latin Modern Roman". Or, try experimenting with other fonts in that list. For example, my preferred choice is "Palatino".
