[pdf-devel] Font subsetting

[Peter Thomassen]

Hi,

I've got many PDF files that have UTF-8 fonts embedded, but only are 
using a hundred characters or so. This makes the files bigger as needed.

I'm not sure if this list is right for my question, but I'd like to know 
if there's any approach of GNU PDF in the direction of such problems.

Maybe, there already is existing software to reduce the embedded fonts 
to the subset that is actually used? Or is that impossible?

Thanks,
Peter
