On a new, vanilla LyX installation (version 2.2.0-1), all the 'Help'
documents (Introduction, Tutorial, etc.) are displayed with very large
fonts.  However, if I zoom to correct this ('alt -' on my system), the
quality of the font degrades badly.  Going in the other direction does NOT
effect the quality.  

I've tried changing various fonts (using Tools -> Preferences -> Look & Feel
-> Screen Fonts) and get the same effect for all the fonts I've tried.  I
also note that in the preferences, the default zoom is 150%, which seems odd.

I wonder if the problem has to do with the font's being used.  I've looked
through the LyX documentation, but it's not clear how to use non-bitmapped
fonts in Tools->Preferences-> ... -> Screen Fonts.  I haven't found any
reference to this problem in the LyX documentation, LyX mailing lists, or
anywhere else

FYI I'm running on Arch Linux.  I tried installing texlive.  That had no
apparent effect, although I it's not clear whether LyX detects it
automatically, of if I have to do something.

I'd appreciate any thoughts on how to fix this.  I really can't proceed to
learn and use LyX if I can't fix this.

Thanks
