As Werner said, it's the included font that's causing the size. On Windows the font containing the undertie is Arial-Unicode and its size is whopping 28 MB. If you'd like to get the PS files smaller you could try installing a smaller Unicode font e.g. DejaVuGSCSans. The same small test file created a PS file of just 1,2 MB. You probably have to uninstall the ArialUNI.ttf first and then remove the LP font cache folder in your home / profile folder to make LP recognise the new font. -Risto _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
