I sincerely hope you mean music fonts, not sound fonts. The PS is bigger since the fonts are included completely in the PS, while the PS -> PDF converter only includes the subset of the font that is actually used. It also compresses the data. > When I compile the same on my compute at home, the ps file is ten > times bigger again, also apparently due to sound fonts.

Again, LilyPond does not include sound fonts, only the PostScript/TrueType/OpenType fonts for the texts and music symbols. > I have never used a sound font, or MIDI output.

A modern computer should not have problems with a multi-megabyte PostScript document. But why not use the PDF instead? -- Johan _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
