Just to emphasize what Paul said: Font size in LyX, as well as other 
things, like widget style, is controlled by Qt, so running qtconfig, or 
qtconfig-qt4, or whatever it's called on your system, will allow you to 
change font size.

This is because LyX will try block layout (with even right and left
borders) by default. And as LyX cannot split words, large inter-word spaces
appear :-(

As LyX is not WYSIWYG, it should be possible to have left aligned text on
screen and block alignment in the output, the attached module is an
attempt to do so. However it does not work nicely for the standard
paragraph, as there is an interference with the indent vs. skip
setting for paragraph separation.


Usage: put in LYXDIR/layouts (~/.lyx/layouts on Unix) and select from the
DocumentSettings.

Dear LyX experts!

[M . Kocinski]

Can You, please, answer me on following questions?

1. Why in my text long spaces between words appear, it seems especially
after using zoom? In Yap they are yet ok. on the other hand...

2. Since I have high myopia it would be useful me to have really large
buttons (as in Excel for example...). I am afraid it is not possible. Am I
right?

And yet anothe question: is there LyX on CDLive versions of Linux?

Best regards,

LyX cannot break words while LaTeX ca do this and will do this correctly. So you can ignore large 
whitespace between words in LyX.



2. Since I have high myopia it would be useful me to have really large
buttons (as in Excel for example...). I am afraid it is not possible. Am I
right?


What you can do is right-clicking on a toolbar and then choosing big icons.

Marek,

  This is a display issue. LyX automatically removes more than a single
space anywhere in the text (it assumes the space separates words). If you
see uneven spaces it may be the display font you use.

  I've noticed that some fonts (e.g., Palatino) print very well but do not
display well on my systems. Therefore, I use a display font that is more
readable even though it is different from the typeface used in producing
.dvi/.ps/.pdf output.

  I've no idea what Yap is other than the sound of a small dog.


2. Since I have high myopia it would be useful me to have really large

  This, too, is a display issue. You can run qtconfig and set the display
options for all your Qt-using applications.


And yet anothe question: is there LyX on CDLive versions of Linux?


  Don't know. Probably not because it's not part of TeX or LaTeX.
