I suspect that one glyph or character was missing in a font somehow,
and fontconfig used a fallback font, which often is a CJK font, thus
the huge size.

Please bear in mind that EPS files as produced by LilyPond should be
run through ps2pdf to reduce the size *enormously* since LilyPond
doesn't do font subsetting.  Normally, even a 20MByte EPS condenses to
just a few kByte.
