I do not see the same effect with lualatex, here the output size is identical between 2025 (1.22) and 2026 (1.24) On windows I get no size differences (tested with an up-to-date tl2025 and tl2026-pretest) > Let me know if you need more information (such as generated PDFs, which I don’t want to attach unasked-for). Yes, log and pdf-files would be useful. Add \ExplSyntaxOn\sys_ensure_backend:\pdf_uncompress:\ExplSyntaxOff before \documentclass to uncompress the PDF, then it is easier to see the differences. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/
