I'm ambiguous about this.  In my opinion, if LilyPond is running PostScript as 
part of its PDF production process, things like gs-load-fonts and epsfile 
inclusion at runtime are perfectly valid means to increase efficient and reduce 
the size of intermediate PostScript files.

Where PostScript is the _final_ format, fonts as well as epsfile and similar 
should be embedded in the file.

Also, we do have the problem that _any_ use of `\epsfile` and other embedded 
user-specified PostScript content means that Ghostscript should _only_ be run 
with -dSAFER.  In other words: there is no actual use case for letting 
`\epsfile` work by reading an external file: we should really always embed the 
file directly into the PostScript output and _only_ run the result with the 
equivalent of `-dSAFER` which rules out use of `gs-load-fonts` (unless we load 
all fonts before dropping file access privileges).

** [issues:#4882] Replace `-dgs-load-fonts' to `--bigpdfs' in lilypond-book**

Replace `-dgs-load-fonts' to `--bigpdfs' in lilypond-book

Some fonts cannot use with `-dgs-load-fonts' option
(also `-dgs-load-lily-fonts' option).

`--bigpdfs' option is more suitable than `-dgs-load-fonts'
because the common font that is used by multiple snippets
in the document becomes integrated into one.
