I don't see any reason for using or learning a new file format, since I 
have experience with and tools to work with postscript.
Also, I have printed pdf formely, and they did not come out the way I 
wanted. So for me, pdf is less control.

If the question is 2.8 vs. 2.6 it's simply so that I get 2.6 with a 
simple apt-get install. Also, since I guess I am seeing the same
problem with otf fonts as John Hawkinson
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2006-04/msg00315.html)
I didn't test 2.8.
