This (bitmap as default) has always been puzzling to me. Even though it's a small thing to correct, I've seen it be a barrier to adoption by the less-technically-inclined. It seems like making a scalable font the default would go a long way to making LyX "just work" out of the box. Of course, there is probably another side to the story.
