What are you doing in order to retain the links? I suppose that LuaTeX's epdf library > > In the latter case Ghostscript must be able to find the fonts. > > Yes, I really hope that! It actually works. Some companies in Japan offer PDF datasheets which have only references to Windows fonts but the fonts are not included. Thus, when I view them on Unix, I only see the graphics but no text. A few years ago some guys from Japan asked me to add a cidfmap file to our Ghostscript distribution for Windows. http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/tlpkg/tlgs/lib/cidfmap.TeXLive Now I can make these files portable ps2pdf -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress .... If this works we can expect that Ghostscript embeds fonts mentioned in Fontmap[.TeXLive] too. > Yes.

But for testing I wouldn't change the LiliPond sources. IMO it's easier to write a tiny script which removes fonts from the PostScript files.
