Subsetting
Subsetting means that all superfluous characters are removed. Whether or
not this is actually necessary depends on the respective font. Some fonts
can easily contain thousands of characters of various writing systems which
bloats the font file considerably. Without subsetting such fonts are not
suitable for use as web fonts.
The option Basic Subsetting is set as default and offers the usual Western
European glyph allocation based on the character set MacRoman. Custom
Subsetting ... allows for a custom defined scope of contained characters
and glyphs. Whereas, the option No Subsetting deactivates subsetting
completely and converts the font with all contained characters and glyphs.
