[Cuis-dev] Shrinking Cuis image

[Luciano Notarfrancesco]

Juan, have you considered loading the fonts incrementally as they are
needed instead of all at once? I don’t see an easy way to do it, but maybe
you gave it some thought already.
Another option is to unload the font data to disk and load it as it’s
needed. I did this before for a text-to-speech system that used a diphones
database. I first loaded all in memory and then saved them on disk using
image segments. Then whenever a diphone is needed I loaded it and
referenced it weakly (like WeakArray with: diphone), so later if it is not
used it can be automatically garbage collected. Loading from disk with
image segments is very fast, it worked in real time with small memory
footprint.
