Description
Description:
- A-Frame Version: 0.8.2
- Platform / Device: all
- Reproducible Code Snippet or URL: https://cdn.aframe.io/fonts/Roboto-msdf.png
I noticed that the PNG file for the Roboto font can be compressed:
Using ImageOptim with Insane optimisation level, I can squeeze 17% off the initial weight for the same quality.
I can push a branch with all the assets optimised, but in the long term, it'd be better to integrate it in the publishing workflow.
