Yeah the fonts take alot. Why do you need to slim the images down? Do you really need the fonts present to archive the content, I thought you were saving the HTML, wouldn't these fonts just be needed to render?

The fonts are for PDF and screenshot rendering.

Have you considered doing the install at usage time? If you're trying to save on bandwidth of downloaded images....
