About slugfont.exe params
Did you use -no-compress explicitly so compression of font files was off?
Else they should get compressed by default, but yeah the size is bigger than otf/ttf files before.

I also noticed the following comment in defaultfontstrings_simplifiedchinese.xml:
Code:
<!-- Split out from GAMEPAD_MEDIUM_FONT so we don't have to generate outlines for large CJK fonts.
This currently saves about 100 MB of memory, but is only useful as long as we only use outlines with latin characters (usually numbers). -->
<String name="GAMEPAD_MEDIUM_FONT_LATIN" value="EsoUI/Common/Fonts/FTN57.slug" />
So maybe disabling outlines could help reduce the size? |
Thanks for the reply. I have not changed the default parameters. The font is compressed. Since there are so many Chinese characters, the font is still very large after compression. I have given up on uploading a new version of the font plugin.
