When using custom Fonts, is there a way to minimize the size they use?

We've added Arial, Arial Italic, Arial Bold, and Georgia Italic - the APK jumped from ~ 500K to > 1.5MB

Is there any way at all to minimize the cost of file size with using custom fonts?

You can always remove the characters that you are not using (for example if the font manages Cyrillic characters and you don't want to provide the corresponding translation) with Font Forge.

Google Web fonts could be another way, they typically make ~100ko and they are compatible with android >= 2.2 (which is all you need anyway).
