Description

I ask because I find [opentype.js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/opentype.js) and [fontkit](https://www.npmjs.com/package/fontkit) lacking in subsetting variable fonts compared to harfbuzz/Klippa.

Klippa works without any code changes with wasm32-wasip2 but needs code changes to target wasm32-unknown-unknown.
