Issue 519: PDF filesize has increased between 1.9.8 and 2.10

Comment #7 by hanwenn:
everyone is getting very confused here.

The issue is that (except for the music fonts, and the Century 
Schoolbook), the fonts
that lilypond embeds is platform dependent. eg.if you use a sans font, 
it will go to
/usr/share/fonts/ (linux) /Library/Fonts (mac) or \WINDOWS\FONTS to 
find an
appropriate font.

Hence, if you use chord names (which use a sans font), you will get 
different PDFs
across platforms.

the question is: should we bother to include a standard sans font?  It 
would blow the
installer by probably 0.5 Mb

It could be that Verdana (windows) is larger than Vera Sans (linux), 
but I am not sure.
