My Lyx used exactly the same font! A simple solution is to delete the Algerian

Wish it were that simple. When I deleted Algerian, Allegro BT was next
in line, and it's even harder to read than Algerian was. When I deleted
that as well, Qt moved on to American Typewriter, which is next
alphabetically (and at least legible).
Anyway, I think you've provided a useful clue to where the problem lies.
Even though the Edit->Preferences->Look and feel->Screen fonts dialog
shows Arial as the sans-serif choice, it's not being used in the
dialogs. For what it's worth, on my system Algerian is the *third* font
alphabetically (Agency and Agency Bold are the first two). If Algerian
is missing, Qt moves down the list alphabetically. It seems odd that it
skips the first two fonts.
Should someone report this to the Qt developers, or could it possibly be
a LyX bug? (In other words, does LyX assert any control over the font
selection in the dialogs?)
