[Tex/LaTex] Editor font in LyX

The font used in LyX editor is very small for me to read. I want to increase it. Please not that I am not asking how to change the font size in the output. I could not find in the menu. (I am using LyX with MiKTeX in Windows 7)

Menu Tools > Preferences > Look & Feel > Screen Fonts

As commented, also with Ctrl + mouse wheel you can increase the font size at any time.

[Tex/LaTex] Custom title font in LyX

It sounds like LyX is not running XeTeX at all. Here’s a simple way to check it: run the following document in Lyx

\documentclass{minimal}

\usepackage{ifxetex}

\begin{document}

\ifxetex{I'm running XeTeX}\else{I'm \textbf{not} running XeTeX}\fi

\end{document}

and see if the output file contains “I’m running XeTeX” or “I’m not running XeTeX”. In the latter case, you should go again through the instructions to set up LyX to use XeTeX and not pdfTeX (or whatever it’s using); I can’t really help you there, as I’ve never used LyX.

Also, if you’re going to use XeTeX and fontspec and use system fonts, you should absolutely not use the fontenc package. It’s not compatible with XeTeX. The line above it in your code (\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\rmdefault}) may also cause problems, and interacts anyway with what fontspec does, so you’re better off deleting it.

Under the Tools menu, choose Preferences. Then, in preferences dialog, under File Handling, in Converters, find the one for converting from TeX to PDF that you use (pdflatex, lualatex, xelatex, ...) and edit its command line.
