Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ttf-unfonts

Why not compressing the ttc file of this package ? Here is a comparaison with the gzipped version: ----- j...@j-laptop:~$ du -h /usr/share/fonts/truetype/unfonts/*.ttf 3,9M /usr/share/fonts/truetype/unfonts/UnBatangBold.ttf 3,6M /usr/share/fonts/truetype/unfonts/UnBatang.ttf 2,7M /usr/share/fonts/truetype/unfonts/UnDotumBold.ttf 2,2M /usr/share/fonts/truetype/unfonts/UnDotum.ttf j...@j-laptop:~$ gzip --best -c /usr/share/fonts/truetype/unfonts/UnBatangBold.ttf > UnBatangBold.ttf.gz j...@j-laptop:~$ du -h UnBatangBold.ttf.gz 2,4M UnBatangBold.ttf.gz j...@j-laptop:~$ ----- ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Oct 12 12:08:26 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 Package: ttf-unfonts-core 1.0.1-7ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-13.44-generic SourcePackage: ttf-unfonts Uname: Linux 2.6.31-13-generic i686 ** Affects: ttf-unfonts (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 -- the ttc file isn't compressed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449406 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
