Pro tip for anyone exporting SVG web images where the fonts are converted to outlines:
If the typefaces in your original design files are offered as both .otf and .ttf fonts, use the .otf fonts.All the major design apps use significantly more data points when outlining TTF curves, resulting in much larger file sizes (with or without compression).
In my tests on a large set of type specimen graphics, exporting identical designs with TTF fonts resulted in SVGs that were almost double the size.
