>Say, what? When would a compressed image of text be smaller than just text?

Since every character in text shares compressible ligaments with every other character, maybe? Or, more finite, every pixel representing a ligature component in a character can be compressed against other pixels in the path set.

I think, at scale, this is very important - folks training models on near-petabyte sized corpus would have cause to want to use this in pipelines, I imagine ..
