Thank you very much for your replies. I use A4 paper and I was able to
get the page count down to a comfortable 14, with vanilla LaTeX, without
having to make it *too* hard to read. With two pages per sheet, this
ends up being 7 sheets, which is a reasonable compromise.
The skeleton of the LaTeX file, in case anybody is interested is this:
,----[ ksp-dc10.tex ]
| \documentclass[landscape,8pt,twocolumn]{scrartcl}
|
| \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
| \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
| \usepackage{pxfonts}
| \usepackage{savetrees}
| \pagestyle{empty}
|
| \begin{document}
| \thispagestyle{empty}
| \begin{verbatim}
| \end{verbatim}
| \end{document}
`----
Just put the contents of the ksp-dc10.tex inside the \begin{verbatim}
\end{verbatim} pair, compile it with pdflatex (recommended instead of
plain latex, to take advantage of microtypographic features) and that's
it.
Thank you very much for your feedback,
