Thanks Paul, I don't see a "Apply to current session only" warning. However I can write to the preferences file.
However, I learned that while the lyx doc is open, ALT + or Alt - works great, so I will just do that until I figure out the problem (which is there is no "save" option on the screen when adjusting screen fonts).
