I've just checked my local Emmentaler fonts (created with self-compiled 
FontForge 2010-Oct-16), and I can't see any problems.

Please give more details which program you are using for displaying and 
printing your document.  Additionally, please provide a small snippet which 
exhibits the issue.

[James Lowe] Werner, attached is a simple file I used for testing. I used Foxit 
PDF viewer on Windows and Preview on Mac OS X, but I have just used Adobe 
Acrobat 8.1 (because I have a copy at work) and it does NOT display these 
symptoms! The counters are all rectangular.

So I guess this is a PDF viewer issue.

Sorry for the noise. I've never had any issues with these PDF viewers in the 
past, so just assumed it was something else.

It is still interesting (to me anyway) why if I do not use any global font size 
setting that I get square counters in the same viewers, but that does not seem 
like a LilyPond issue.
