Preloader 35kB. But Why?

[anjelika]

Recently I made my first preloader, but I can't understand why it is so big (35KB)? What could I possibly have made wrong?

It looks like you may have embedded the fonts. You might not think so, but fonts can be huge. Change the field to dynamic text and leave the "embed font" button unchecked, and set the font to sans.

See how big it is then. (Or, easier, just deleted all the words... then test. The above solution is how _not_ to include fonts while still including text)
