Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ttf-indic-fonts
There are many fonts installed by default but only a few are actually used. The xfonts-base package compresses all the pcf files by using the gzip method. Why not compressing the ttf files of this package ? Here is a comparaison with the gzipped version: ----- j...@j-laptop:~$ du -h /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-indic-fonts-core/Rachana_04.ttf 380K /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-indic-fonts-core/Rachana_04.ttf j...@j-laptop:~$ gzip --best -c /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-indic-fonts-core/Rachana_04.ttf > Rachana_04.ttf.gz j...@j-laptop:~$ du -h Rachana_04.ttf.gz 160K Rachana_04.ttf.gz j...@j-laptop:~$ ----- ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Oct 12 12:47:24 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 Package: ttf-indic-fonts-core 1:0.5.4ubuntu2 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-13.44-generic SourcePackage: ttf-indic-fonts Uname: Linux 2.6.31-13-generic i686 ** Affects: ttf-indic-fonts (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 -- the ttf files aren't compressed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449432 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
