Your "hefty PDFs" would be entirely correct if paps had been used for the conversion. The result is a 156551 sized file for me. gs2pdf comes up with a whopping 11540827 and takes 18 s to do so. An explantation is given by a Ghostscript developer at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26066535/ps2pdf-creates-a-very-big-pdf-file-from-paps-created-ps-file The same page has > As the author of paps,...I have just released a new version of paps... The new version's README has > paps is a command line program for converting Unicode text > encoded in UTF-8 to postscript and pdf by using pango. That was in 2015, Debian's paps does not relect the existence of a 7.0 version. I wonder why? -- Brian.
