Looking into the docs I noticed a seemingly general issue: that graphics
included inline in the body text suffer from different problems that
negatively influence the overall appearance.

In the attached screenshot from fr Tutorial.lyx:
– the default line-spacing is used (which might be considered a bit too
small for Palatino anyway)
– the picture is offset from the baseline
– it's too big to be in the borders set by font-size and line-height
– therefore breaking the uniformity of the baselines

Now for the docs this example could be partially fixed by scaling this
normal picture to a smaller size an/or increasing the line-spacing
value. The optical misalignment to the baseline cannot be fixed now
(without ERT)?

However inset-info generated graphics do not allow to be scaled
separately? Are there ways to force them to scale?

Even if this scaling is indeed not wanted for the official LyX docs, and
therefore less of a problem for the inset-infos, it would be nice to
have have two things, at least for 'normal' graphics that should go into
inline-text:
– letting them align with the baseline of the text (visually – means
they might also need to go slightly below!)
- having an option to scale them to % of line-height
(settings>Graphics>Set_Height)

greetings
Mike
