David, speaking of evince, maybe you experience the same problem with
exaggerated barline thickness that I reported here some time ago. If
you know about other evince&lilypond users, please let me know.

On latest Ubuntu, sadly this has not been fixed. The issue is a very
strange one because:
- a command-line lpr of the pdf gives a good output;
- kpdf does not show this behaviour, being based on the same rendering
engine, namely xpdf (am I wrong?)
- thickened barlines are shown both in screen and onto printer.

The core developers pointed me that this might be a bug in the form
that evince renders the (thin!) rounded rectangles that barlines are
made from.
