Yup. I agree that it is a valid point. I made the same point several times in
the past.
But the problem keeps popping up again and again into the face of
unsuspecting users. So, it looks like having some kind of defaults could
be a net win, after all.
For example, we can make the above 3 fonts defcustoms with default
values of 'auto. Then, if we detect non-ascii characters in latex
export, we can auto-detect fonts (from some pre-populated constant list)
and raise a warning message while proceeding with export. It is probably
better than producing pdfs with unreadable characters.
