Hi,
How does one change the font that is used (a) for the "LyX-Code"
environment, (b) for "typewriter" character markup?
I would like to modify the font size, and/or eventually change the font for
these two completely. Maybe I have searched in the wrong places ;-), but I
have not found an answer to this question yet ... ?
Thanks for any hint,
and have a nice day!

If you mean you want to change LyX-Code globally (for all documents on
your system), you need to hack the file lyxmacros.inc in the
...\Resources\lyx\layouts directory on Windows systems (at least for
versions 1.3.6 and 1.3.7) or .../share/lyx/layouts on Unix-like systems.
You might want to put the hacked version in your "local" layouts
directory (under your home) and leave the original intact, just in case.
In the section beginning "Style LyX-Code" there is a \newenvironment
command, near the end of which is "\normalfont\ttfamily". You can
change \ttfamily to something like \rmfamily or \sffamily (although IMHO
a monospaced font would seem to be needed here). You should also be
able to append a size command, for instance
\normalfont\rmfamily\large
or
\normalfont\sffamily\fontsize{9pt}{11pt}.
Beneath the preamble insertion in the .inc file is a subsection
Font
Family Typewriter
EndFont
I think you'll want to change Typewriter to Roman (or whatever) there as
well, so that the screen display matches what you'll get in the output.
Changing the typewriter font itself, so that for instance \ttfamily does
something different from what it does now, is something I think you'll
have to do with LaTeX commands in the preamble. Perhaps a LaTeX guru
(which decidedly excludes me) can help.
