Question. Almost stupid.

I have a font file *.ttf size 1.5 MB. I rename the font using TypeLight and immediately save the file. The new version has 1.1 MB. Is this normal? I mean, other than changing the name, no other actions were performed. What is happening? Compression? It removes certain data from the file?

On a second note, the Cecilia Condensed mechanism can be replicated? I.E. having FontName and FontName Condensed, from a single, non-condensed series of files.

Thanks for any input.
