[ft] Compressing CJK Fonts effectively

[Matthew Tippett]

Hi,

I am working on an embedded project which requires CJK truetype fonts.  
Since it is an embedded system, I want to save as much disk space as 
possible.

The fonts we are using seem to compress to about 70% of their original 
size - which could save around 13 MB on the ROM image.

I noticed the post in 2002 from David Turner when he completed the gzip 
support talking about not wanting to encourage stupid choices (like 
gzip-compressed truetype fonts).

What is the current best practice for managing large CJK fonts in a 
storage efficient manner?
