Using Ubuntu breezy with 1.2.3 I created a 97 KByte sla file with 3 fonts and zero images. The sla file was for one page only of about 300 words.
The fonts were; DejaVu sans oblique 6pt DejaVu mono roman 10pt DejaVu serif bold only two of these were used and all were embedded in postscript Exporting this to pdf gave a 5.7 MByte pdf file. Changing the fonts to the Free* series didn't alter the pdf size much, nor did exporting the pdf at 75 dpi Is all this reasonable? TIA Owen
