Enabling compression gives a ~26% *reduction* over non-compressed Type 3 font 
embedding.
ie. 4.5 K/pg (compressed graphic) vs. 17.5 K/pg (uncompressed Type 3 font) vs 
111 K/pg
(uncompressed graphic).

It also appears that most other applications that export in pdf use compression 
by
default. (OO Writer, etc.) So this approach appears justified. One could always 
add code
to allow the user to select embedding mode and compression.

Also correcting mode parameter value.
