A first draft of a patch to allow FreeType 2 (current CVS) to read gzipped font files is available from
http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/files/freetype2-gzip-20021019.patch.gz This patch works by keeping in memory the part of the uncompressed font file that has already been seen. The weak point is that compressed files are detected by filename extension; a cleaner solution would be to have the stock stream implementations invoke it when they detect the signature of a gzipped file. I didn't try to make it optional. Feel free to include a suitably modified version of this patch in FreeType if you find it suitable.
