Sorry, the png gave me a wrong impression about font-size.  However,
there *is* something wrong - stem length is reverted wrongly (unless
you want them to be lengthy).  To have regular stem length you have to
use

        \override Stem #'length-fraction = #(magstep 0)

instead of 1.

Please do.  An exact suggestion will be appreciated
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/contributor/documentation-suggestions);
i can't take care of this now.  If you could prepare a formal patch,
that would be even better! (but it's not required).

yeah, i occasionally do some funny misspellings because i'm not native
English speaker.
