When you say "Check Qt4 Settings", do you mean in somewhere in LyX? Or qt's settings? (assuming it has settings: I've never had to deal with qt expliclty). It appears my version of LyX (2.2.0, 6/23/2016) is using Qt5: 'Build Info' shows "Qt version: 5.7.0". Might there be an advantage to

I'm running Arch Linux with OpenBox. Other applications don't have this problem and anti-aliasing appears to be working. E.g. I can zoom in and out in FireFox with no font degradation. Fonts are from the xorg packages (xorg-server, xorg-server-utils, xorg-apps) and Infinality

Yes, in 'Tool -> Preferences -> Look & Feel -> Screen Fonts' I've tried all the serif faces that I've got: the all have the same problem. I believe I've read that LyX (actually TeX) uses bit mapped fonts by default. It wasn't clear how to get non-bitmapped fonts. On 07/04/2016 03:26 PM,

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
