Well, the fix to that one was easy - don't use both glyphshow and show in the PostScript:

\version "2.13.12"

\relative c' {
    c c^\markup {
\postscript #"/Emmentaler-20 findfont 4 scalefont setfont 2.5 1 scale /scripts.ufermata glyphshow"
    }
}

Here's a stretched out fermata using PostScript:

\relative c' {

\postscript #"/Emmentaler-20 findfont 4 scalefont setfont 2.5 1 scale /scripts.ufermata glyphshow show"
    }
}

Unfortunately, although Lilypond generates the ps file without error, Ghostscript barfs when converting the ps to pdf, and although the stretched fermata appears in the output, the notes don't. Also, the result isn't very satisfactory because the dot in the centre of the fermata has been stretched into an ellipse:

thanks for your help, I tried your trick, but it seams to only "blow up" the
fermata mark.
I was was hoping for something more adequate, like stretching the fermata
mark or somehow expanding it, I don't know. But thanks once again.
