Multiple Fonts should have "latin-ext" Subsets

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Many fonts listed as supporting only "Latin" support much of the 
Latin-extended character set.
2. I know this from examining the TTF Font Files for these fonts.
3. You cannot force WebFonts to deliver these extra characters for you,
even if you want them, by specifying "subset=latin-ext"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect that if I demand the extra characters in "latin-ext" that Google will 
deliver these characters.

Regardless of whether or not there is "complete support" for the Latin Extended 
block or not, and regardless of the "official classification" of the Font on 
http://www.google.com/webfonts

Besides, who decides this? What consititutes "Latin Extended" support? Many 
fonts include most of the characters I need (and I know this for a fact because 
I examined the TTF files), and yet Google refuses to deliver the fonts with 
these characters.  Why not let the user decide?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Any.

Please provide any additional information below.

Example fonts:  Sancreek, Terminal Dosis, PT Sans Narrow, Nova Oval, Nova 
Square.

And many many others.

The Google Chrome font set (Arimo, Tinos and Cousine) also has this issue. The 
source files include a *bunch* of extended characters, but these fonts are 
currently only subsetted for basic Latin.

Codeman83,

I went to the Webfonts Discussion group, and David Crossland explained some of 
the issues about this point.
You should bring this up on the Discussion group with these specific fonts, and 
there is a chance David can do something about it (but only if the resulting 
"latin-ext" font isn't "too big")
