even when it looks nice, is great with scaling and also compatible with

I just downloaded TrueType.zip from the github project page,
decompressed it to its own subfolder, and recompressed it to 7zip
format using p7zip -mx9 (maximum compression). The resulting packaged
size is 2MB

2MB doesn´t seem like a killer size increase to me...

sure, but where should we draw the line? At 5 or 10 MB? IMHO every addition - that increases the install base - should have a reason.

Adding a font just because it's nice looking or compatible with our license is not enough.

My 2 ct.
