This is a nice idea! However, I consider it a bug in ghostscript that
you can't suppress subsetting for the Emmentaler fonts. Can you send
a bug report to the gs people?

Indeed.

Mhmm. Having a `-dSubsetFonts=false' option is certainly a good idea
(and please provide a patch for that :-). However, I would rather
favor that the bug gets fixed in gs – or finding out what we are
missing.

This is a very good question. IIRC, it comes from headers or footers
added by lilypond. It is obviously not possible to *completely*
disable that, hence the silly whitespace. This is a bug in lilypond,
I think...
