Comment #7 on issue 838 by pnorcks: Inconsistency in tests output size
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=838

Okay, I think I've narrowed down the issue:

It appears that when LilyPond compiles multiples files, the font  
configuration is
only reset "once in a while", roughly after every 40 files.  This means  
that fonts
can leak into some of PS or EPS files that don't even use them, because the  
hash
table is kept around.

Is there a reason why the font configuration isn't reset after every file is
compiled?  There doesn't seem to be any extra overhead.

With this patch, fonts are reset after every file is processed, and the  
bzipped
test-output is reduced to 56MB, instead of the current 195MB.  This should  
give us
more consistent tarball sizes, since extra fonts will never leak into the  
EPS files.
