Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xfonts-base
The /usr/share/fonts directory uses a lot of disk space.
All the fonts inside this directory are compressed by using gzip.
I think that using lzma would decrease the disk space used.
Below is a comparaison for the file /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/18x18ko.pcf.gz:
-----
j...@j-desktop:~$ du 18x18ko.pcf*
2920 18x18ko.pcf
724 18x18ko.pcf.gz
372 18x18ko.pcf.lzma

lzma would compress better than gzip
