For projects containing smaller flash, large RAM and displays with large font sizes, PNG compression is more effective in saving flash than RLE compression.

Guix and GUIX Studio documentation describe supporting font compression and it seems to be only RLE compression.

In our previous system, we used a 1 x n character PNG image for each font taking ~50KB flash space in total assets. Porting the same fonts to GUIX Studio outputs over 700KB (uncompressed).

Understanding that PNG inflate/deflate is already available in the Guix code, is there an easy way to PNG compression for fonts?
