d via either Ctrl+R within LyX, or by lyx --export pdf4, the two instances of ascii quotes become two closing smart quotes. If one wants to use the Liberation fonts (they're very safe from a legal standpoint), how does one get the PDF conversion to leave ascii quotes as ascii quotes? Thanks, Ste

(within its limits). TeX is **HUGE**, and you don't want it unless you need it. And any author using asciidoc with the idea of outputting to PDF knows he needs either TeX (LaTeX probably) or some ugly XSLT transform, and can install the necessary stuff.
