The average percentage of points that can be predicted (and therefore, eliminated from a compressed font file) inched a bit higher to ~2%. Let's discuss this tomorrow during the telcon.

It seems to me that a big factor in this will be the legacy workflow 
path of the fonts in question, what tools were used to convert to 
quadratic splines from other outline format, and whether the outlines 
have been subject to any manual optimisation in TT format.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make tomorrow's call.
