Confirming that the .pdf size doubles, but only if we measure relative to the size of the smaller .pdfs we get if we know to use -dno-point-and-click. The time required to process the larger .ps was less that 1% the total time to compile my test .ly files.
Confirming that the resulting larger .pdf has better and more consistent line thickness when previewed with Adobe Reader on WinXP. I had to look for a while to find a PDF previewer that showed the original problem. Maybe no-pretty-previews by default? The Evince shipped with Gnome as DocumentViewer 2.32.0 using poppler/cairo (0.14.4) shows no problem (good previews with visually consistent line thicknesses at all zoom). SumatraPDF, using the MuPDF engine, shows no problem. AcroRead on WinXP shows a minor problem, that only becomes obvious I we turn on the setting "Enhance Thin Lines". (I just did a fresh install of Adobe Reader XI and found "EnhanceThinLines" is set by default.) Once I found the problem, this patch did fix it. https://codereview.appspot.com/8663044/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
