That reminds me of this thread with lilypond-devel and gs-devel lists, 
and Ken Sharp from Artifex the GhostScript place.

<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2017-09/msg00096.html>

Ken Sharp's position was, "Risking incorrect output for the minimal 
benefit of a slightly smaller file seems unwise to me."

Then a large technical discussion ensued about edge cases of PDF font
