Hello,

Anyone can tell me if this is a bug? I have 2 pdf
files created differently on my latest MiKTeX and the
output file sizes are incredibly different.

1. pdflatex -> 1.3MB
2. latex+dvips+ps2pdf -> 378KB

I've tried \pdfcompresslevel9 but it doesn't help.
These are the files:

http://dump.nasabox.net/dump/testotf-pdflatex.pdf
http://dump.nasabox.net/dump/testotf-pdflatex.log
http://dump.nasabox.net/dump/testotf-latex.pdf
http://dump.nasabox.net/dump/testotf-latex.log

>From the log files:
pdflatex: 1011303 words of font info for 152 fonts
latex: 650836 words of font info for 86 fonts

Any idea would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Rob.
