Description

Hi thanks for this awesome project

Would it be possible to provide subset charsets for web as 100kb is a reasonably large file to be dropping on someone's machine and the google fonts version is way out of date

For instance:

  • cyrillic
  • greek
  • latin
  • cyrillic ext
  • greek ext
  • latin ext

Using the latin set (as I have no chars that are part of other sets) I can reduce that to 21kb

Thank you 😄

Research direction

The issue does not name specific files, tests, or build entry points. Start by locating the webfont generation setup and determine how the requested cyrillic, greek, latin, and extended subsets are produced; done means the subsets are available and the latin output is substantially smaller than the full font.
