This makes no sense to me as a Cairo feature. Such PDF snippets would need custom post processing to assemble into the full document. If we do custom post processing, we might as well postprocess the final PDF directly to make all snippets point to a single music font object? IMO, working with a 35mb user manual isn't materially different from working with a 10mb user manual. Both take a while to download. I also wonder how people actually use the PDF manual. It's very big to print out, and compared to the HTML manual, unwieldy to use on screen. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - hanw...@gmail.com - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen
