When comparing PDFs generated from LyX 2.1.4 with those posted on the
wiki I noticed some weird differences. Looking for an explanation I came
to the following reproducible peculiarity:

now with LyX 2.2rc1, while switching UI-locales:

UI: English, en-UserGuide.lyx; generated PDF reads:
Normal This is the “Normal” font size. It’s also the default size. (key
bindings Control-S N, Control-S 5)
Larger This is the “Larger” font size. (key bindings Control-S Shift-L,

UI: German, en-UserGuide.lyx; generated PDF reads:

bindings Kontroll-S N, Kontroll-S 5)
Larger This is the “Larger” font size. (key bindings Kontroll-S Shift-L,

UI: English, de-UserGuide.lyx; generated PDF reads:
Normal Dies ist die „normale” Schriftgröße. Dies ist auch die Standard-
größe (Tastenkürzel: Alt+S N oder Alt+S 5)


UI: German, de-UserGuide.lyx; generated PDF reads:
Normal Dies ist die „normale” Schriftgröße. Dies ist auch die Standard-
größe (Tastenkürzel: Alt+S N oder Alt+S 5)


As you can see in the above example, German UserGuide yields the same
characters/words and also better line-breaking regardless of UI-choice.
Further, the English UserGuide produces differing output, dependent on
UI-Choice.
Therefore en-UserGuide violates the margins in different ways.
The “Larger” example shows where the line not only runs out of the
margin but off the page completely.
(My viewer didn’t let me copy more than what is shown above.)

If this locale-switching is indeed a feature of en-UserGuide, then
hunting for margin violations and fixing them manually becomes even more
tedious than it is. What would be a more general solution to this?
