As David says, this is only a display problem in LyX. If you when you preview the file as a PDF everything looks OK, eventhewordsstucktogether, then this is a known bug. It's fixed in LyX 2.0.0, which comes out very soon. In the meantime, you try other screen fonts (in Tools>Preferences), some of which might not suffer so badly from this problem. This won't affect the PDF output, which instead uses the font in Document>Settings. On the other hand, if you see the problem even in the PDF, and you're sure you entered spaces, please file a bug.
