John> Rescale bitmap fonts

So those of us who do not have nice truetype fonts installed (or no
support for them in the X server) have to endure crappy scaled PS
fonts instead of hand-made bitmap fonts? Damn.

Use some fixed dictionary name instead of just passing the lyx
language name

I think it is a bad solution to some problem

Don't know.

I guess it is the shortcut which is used in menu entries.

John> What is the meaning of extra flags in convertors ? 

A lot of special esoteric things that are not documented anywhere.

John> What does "adapt output" do ? (been over this one before) 

Says whether you want to pass -Pprinter option to dvips. A normally
configured site wants this, but crappy linux sites in general do not
have properly configured dvips for their printers. Old dvips used to
break on non-existing config file name.

John> Is there any point in "ascii line length" ? 

Control the line-length of all the ascii files we output (latex,
ascii, docbook...)

John> "Auto reset class options" - don't understand

When you change the textclass of a document, do you want to reset the
options of this class (number of columns, ...) to the new class defaults.
