Possible way to do TTF size reduce on larger files

 

Dear user,

For doing TTF size reduce, you need to convert everything in your data to straight lines. Now, you will see some fine rough texture, now, removal of your data for curves will make your file smaller and will not affect the results much.

To convert to straight lines, you have to select your data, then right click on it, select Retract BCPs.

Hope this will help you.

Thank you.
