I played a bit with convttf and noticed that this isn't quite true. The
bitmap data is 4x bigger (see MWIMAGEBITS in [1]), but the other data
stays the same. Depending on the font size the bitmap data can be rather
negligible. Converting SansDroid.ttf (from android) in size 15 grows
from 225k (mono) to 245k (alpha).
