I am assuming that you want to know how big nxzilla + nanox + fonts + libs
are. Here is the rough breakdown:
nxzilla (Standard build, browser/mail-news/composer, no components removed)
approx 56M
nanox (standard build, server and libraries only) approx 680K
true type fonts (standard font package from ftp.microwindows.org) 3.6M
libttf (standard build) approx 500K
Total: approx 60M
This is big, but remember Mozilla (and hence nxzilla) is very modular. We
have had browsers with full web support (HTML4, cookies, JS) compress to
around 4M. We also have plans to get this smaller.
