lzma would compress better than gzip

[Jérôme]

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
j@j-desktop:~$
