So, I read this as: it does not work yet and needs to be implemented in
fontconfig.
So, can you please take this issue to upstream fontconfig and ask them
to implement this feature?
Thanks

I don't know the technical solution. I just highlighted this missing
feature.

Jérôme: have you actually tested that your proposed solution works? Does
the font still get loaded into the cache when the font file is
compressed with one of those methods?
To test: remove (or move) your fonts cache after you compressed the
file. Does the font still appear in your system?

It appears that the best compression is achieved with lzma:
-

uming.ttc.gz
j...@j-lt:~$ bzip2 --best -c /usr/share/fonts/truetype/arphic/uming.ttc >
uming.ttc.bz2
j...@j-lt:~$ lzma --best -c /usr/share/fonts/truetype/arp
Currently the uncompressed fonts slow down the install process (writes
to disk when unpacking). Moreover most of them will not be used during
the whole life of the system.

All the used fonts seem to be cached anyway in the "~/.fontconfig" user
file directory and the "/var/cache/fontconfig" file directory.
I think that the "fontconfig" package could automatically handle the
font files decompression before caching them into the above file
directories.
Once the font i
Have you tested that the font can still be detected by the system when
compressed?
Does it work also with bzip2 or lzma compression?
How about the performance? I guess either rendering or startup should be
slower, because of the need to uncompress the font again.
IMHO, disk space is cheap nowada
