It's not just a matter of formatting, although Richard's uses very small letters - I think it would be hard to read printed on A4 or US Letter.
That dictionary has the gismu, the cmavo, and a grammar. Mine also has lujvo and fu'ivla - everything in jbovlaste. That's why mine needs a new edition every couple of months - stuff changes.

Lojban Dictionary.pdf is 373 pages, whereas Richard Curnow's dict.pdf is only 25, due to the change in formatting. I would much, much, much rather have a 25 page document than a 373 page one, especially if I were to decide for some reason that I wanted to print said document.
Any chance you could change the format of Lojban Dictionary.pdf to address this?

I fracking love this pdf and have been using it for a while now. Keep up the good work everyone. Hey Yoav, do you know what the deal is with the comment on the page that: "Lojban Dictionary.pdf is the same as ld.pdf except that AmberShadow has added bookmarks for your navigating pleasure. It also appears to be about half the size in megabytes for no apparent reason."
IMO this is essentially what the published dictionary should look like .a'ocai (with some obvious edits since you can't use 'search' in a paper copy.

Richard Curnow once made a very exhaustive & compact set of cheat sheets
(including the {gismu} & {cmavo} lists), available at
<http://www.rpcurnow.force9.co.uk/lojban/index.html> (under "Reference
Material"). I'm sure you could use a good portion of that, assuming that he
approves, of course.
