[Lilypond-auto] [LilyIssues-auto] [testlilyissues:issues] #5330 Allow use of Identity-H CMap and CID versions of Emmentaler

[Auto mailings of changes to Lily Issues via Testlilyissues-auto]

Any notion of what problems this might alleviate? Is there a conceivable rationale for "Without '-O TeX' or '-O TeX-GS' we still use the traditional postscript code." apart from being cautious by default? Without a tangible reason, it might make stuff more predictable by not differentiating in minor details. It might also be possible to provide a separate option that can then be used independent of the -O setting for special needs.

But in general, without a good reason otherwise it would seem to cause less trouble by making such changes completely. Can you think of a good reason otherwise?

I think we should remove the use of three encodings/subsets of emmentaler fonts from our postscript code and use CID versions of the emmentaler fonts combined with the Identity-H CMap instead.

Attached is a patch that implements (and uses) this enhancement:

• When -O TeX or -O TeX-GS is given, lilypond generates postscript code that instructs ghostscript to use the Identity-H CMap and CID versions of the emmentaler fonts.
• Without '-O TeX' or '-O TeX-GS' we still use the traditional postscript code.
• Documentation is still missing.

Only a proof of concept, not ready for release, definitely not for lilypond 2.20.
