It should be "ignore" and they are right maybe the inherit is not needed
at all, the problem that we have now is that the "document_language" is
not known inside the LyXFont and so all this inherit_stuff for language
is only a work around for the unknown "document_language"! Maybe this can
be easily fixed by always realizing the language when saving the font in
the font-vector of the paragraph! That would be he fastes fix for all our
problems right now! So the inherit is only temporary until we save it in
the paragraph then it gets it's REAL language till the end of times ;)
