I found org-article when trying to find out how to control fonts,
etc. Basically, I have my own LaTeX template I use when
hand-constructing documents, and I was hoping to be able to use those
same settings when org creates a LaTeX document for me. I thought
org-article would give me that degree of control, but it probably
hasn't been updated since some prior version of org (based on the
variable names), and so is probably broken.

Since most of these settings I'll want to use in *all* my documents,
putting all the parameters in each org file would be pretty
tedious. I'll keep looking for a more elegant solution. I'll be happy
to post here when I find something (that works!)
Thank you!
