PT Sans should be split into Latin & Cyrillic subsets #33

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently, the PT Sans font is embedded as a single monolithic file including 
both Latin and Cyrillic characters.

This is not the case for most fonts on the Font Directory; for most of the 
multilingual fonts on the directory, such as Ubuntu, the Latin and Cyrillic 
characters are separated into subsets.

As a result, using PT Sans on my English-only blog carries a larger download 
size than a comparable font that is split into subsets, such as Ubuntu or 
Arimo. The TTF is a 300 KB download for <em>each</em> font in the family.

On a related note, incidentally, there's a new version of PT Sans released on 
Christmas of last year that has better hinting, and the version in the Font 
Directory probably should be updated.

I spoke too soon about closing it-- it's been subsetted in the hg repository, 
but the subsets aren't being served by the Font API server.

Now the subsets are being served by the server, but the wrong ones-- if I 
specify Latin only, what's actually transferred is the cyrillic-ext+latin 
subset.
