Screen font question

[John White]

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).
