It appears that the best compression is achieved with lzma:
-----
j...@j-lt:~$ gzip --best -c /usr/share/fonts/truetype/arphic/uming.ttc >
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/arphic/uming.ttc >
uming.ttc.lzma
j...@j-lt:~$ du uming.ttc.* /usr/share/fonts/truetype/arphic/uming.ttc
9024 uming.ttc.bz2
9988 uming.ttc.gz
7248 uming.ttc.lzma
20564 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/arphic/uming.ttc
j...@j-lt:~$
-----
Moreover lzma is most of the time the faster method for uncompressing.
Bzip2 decompression is the slowest.
