I think the easiest way to test the code thoroughly is to apply the patch,
do a full build, and then  change

       "bool bigpdfs = false"

in global-vars.cc to "bool bigpdfs = true" and do a full build again.

Postprocess the doc pdfs according to

         gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -o outgs.pdf  notation.pdf
         pdfsizeopt --use-multivalent=no outgs.pdf outfinal.pdf

and verify that everything went ok.

It is expected that the english notation.pdf processed this way should
contain 72 fonts (instead of the 3548 of an original notation.pdf).

@everybody:

It would be nice if someone could add translations for other languages
than german.
