Do you think it is related to the evince-lilypond-barline problem? If
poppler acts like a printer, that would explain thick barlines both on
screen and on printer when printed from evince. I have been suffering
that issue for AGES now, see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-01/msg00696.html
It would be absolutely great if the stock PDF viewer that comes with
gnome/ubuntu were able to display/print simple lilypond scores
correctly. Sorry if it sounds stupid and/or it is unrelated.
