Re: lilypond-book DVI to PDF problems

[pdflatex vs. latex + dvipdfmx]

Consider this simple Russian input:


  \documentclass{article}

  \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  \usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}


  \begin{document}

  тест

  \end{document}


pdflatex creates a file which has a size of 7732 Bytes.  If you do cut
and paste of `тест' with acroread, you get `òåñò'.

dvipdfmx creates a file which has a size of 2873 Bytes; cut and paste
works correctly.

BTW, dvipdfmx *can* include other PDF files (cf. dvipdfmx.def in the
TeXLive package).
