How much do you think it will grow ? A compressed TTF fonts (from win95)
typically is 50-100K. I don't think one uses more than 4..5 fonts
in a set of slides, and having a 200KB overhead in the postscript
would be (to me) perfectly acceptable if this is the price to
pay for good match between video and printed things. The native
format for the presentations should be mgp files anyways.

(if you note, my mgpm distribution/patches can parse a single "tarball"
file which includes everything you need for the presentation, and having
also a windows port makes it feasible to distribute these tarballs on
the web)
