The first is definitely true due to the grunge effect adding lots of lines to the letters. The font after converting to opentype is 7.8 meg, the truetype is 1 meg. So I'll need to get rid of the glyphs I'm not using. And maybe research how to make smaller opentype files with FontForge. The license.txt file says "This font is free for both personal and commercial use" with no mention of any limits or devices. It's FFF Tusj Bold.
