sorry about the previous reply, i misunderstood what you wanted to do.
as jens suggested, use the DeclareMathSizes command in the preamble.
you'll need four sizes:
\DeclareMathSizes{12}{10}{7}{5}
This assumes that the non-math text is 12pt.
You'll get 10pt for the math-font, 7pt for script fonts and 5pt for
script script font sizes.
One visually good thing is to use a 10:7:5 ratio for the mf, sf, ssf
so scale appropriately.

one silly thing to do is to increase the zoom size, which will
increase the font size for the entire document including math fonts.
go to the preferences, screen fonts and then adjust the zoom size.
hope that helps.

Hi, I have inserted a few equations using the math panel and I
want to
enlarge the font so its easier to read. I tried to just highlight
the
text and make it bigger, but that didnt work. Is there something
else I
need to add or some other menu to do this that I havent seen? Im
running lyx 1.4. Thanks,

Yes, it wasn't clear what he means, but I'm guessing he wants a
larger font in the _output_ file (PDF). How about the following
method:

You should modify the \DeclareMathSizes command so that its first
argument is the document's text size, and the other arguments give
the desired math size.

Hi, sorry to not clarify.. Yes, when I input the text in Lyx it is
fine
and I can read it. But when I output the PDF, it is much much smaller
and its hard to see. I looked at the link provided, but am not
clear on
what to do. I need to use the \DeclareMathSizes {x}
in my preamble? And that will make the output math text size x?
This is
a rather long document(thesis) so zooming in and changing that would
alter figures which are set to a specific size etc so I would
rather not
go that route if possible...
Thanks!
Charles
