When I was digging for shrinking tools for Hitch I also searched for minification tools which could be applied to the epub's CSS and sources, but found only *. js stuff for use with webservers. Have no idea how to utilise it. Minification could be worth being looked up too.

No, I do not use Zopfli. I know it compresses even more, but the speed is ridiculous compared to the saved space. I just use the highest compression level. BTW, Sigil uses the same compression. I will check about minification, but I don't expect much from it.

Yes, I have created the tools for font subsetting myself and it is using intelligent algorithms to check the actual glyph usage. I can stand that I haven't solved the OTF issue so far... For the imaging I am using standard applications which are available and the standard zip-routines (although not a standard zip-library).
