I fixed it, too: first made byte arrays be strings of simple characters (code <
256), then modified zlib.lisp a bit (not using salza), and finally modified
sbcl-naturalize-cstring from uffi a bit. I did not like the last part because I
am not very familiar with cl-pdf and uffi, so I will probably use your
solution. Or, anyway, attached is a patch to my previous solution.

Using fontforge and Times New Roman to make a TTF font with three alphabets,
together with the fixed compression, I got ex1-ttu.pdf drop from around 470kB
to around 86kB.
