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.
