I'm not sure about Slackware, but on Mint (and Ubuntu) there is a utility named qt5ct (Qt5 Configuration Tool). On Mint (and presumably Ubuntu) it's available from the system menu by searching "qt5". If you install it and run it, you should get a simple GUI interface that lets you set all sorts of things. In the Fonts tab, click the ellipsis next to "General", leave the font selection alone but switch the font style to "Regular", pick a larger font size, click OK and then (back in the main window) Apply. You should see the font in the LyX menus change immediately (no restart required). There's a caveat: this will apply to all Qt5 apps (including the configuration tool), not just LyX.
Thanks, Paul! I had not installed that package from SBo; it's building now. I kept looking in /etc/, ~/.config, and other places but found nothing relevant.
If you want larger toolbar icons in LyX, that's handled from within LyX. Right click in any empty space on any toolbar and, at the bottom of the context menu, pick your preferred icon size.
The pictures I can easily see and recognize; it's the words that need enlarging to accomodate the many miles logged by my eyeballs. Stay well, Rich -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
