Is this something on the TransType horizon?

Thanks.

Is it also something on the FLS6 Victoria Horizon?

Hey folks,

Although as somebody with a web fonts background, I am of course familiar with subsetting. But I am wondering if you could flesh out a bit more detail about what you would want from this feature and how it might work:

1) In font editors
2) In TransType

I can say that an obvious first step would be that a font would not fail to compile just because of missing glyphs—even if those glyphs were referenced by OpenType code. But after that, it gets complicated in terms of user interface and options.

I was thinking of this as something similar to what Font Squirrel does, allowing the font to be remade for web use with any number of glyphs as a way of making the font smaller and faster to serve

Ah, that's a helpful and actionable approach. Probably lots of work, but duly noted. (ID 80340778 in our database)

We are using ttfsubset and then ttf2woff from FontUtils (http://scripts.sil.org/FontUtils)
