Issue 519: PDF filesize has increased between 1.9.8 and 2.10
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=519
Comment #7 by hanwenn:
everyone is getting very confused here.
The issue is that (except for the music fonts, and the Century
Schoolbook), the fonts
that lilypond embeds is platform dependent. eg.if you use a sans font,
it will go to
/usr/share/fonts/ (linux) /Library/Fonts (mac) or \WINDOWS\FONTS to
find an
appropriate font.
Hence, if you use chord names (which use a sans font), you will get
different PDFs
across platforms.
the question is: should we bother to include a standard sans font? It
would blow the
installer by probably 0.5 Mb
It could be that Verdana (windows) is larger than Vera Sans (linux),
but I am not sure.
