The follow glyphs were enlarged:
The following glyphs were made to be lower on "the line" when in a word.
The following honorifics were added (note: these honorifics are set to be included in Unicode 14)
./subset.mjs
(requires pyftsubset and zx) -- it will output build/{kitab-base,kitab-base-bold,kitab-phrases}.{woff,woff2}

The following code can create a valid CSS unicode-range from a set of characters.
import itertools
def ranges(i):
for a, b in itertools.groupby(enumerate(i), lambda pair: pair[1] - pair[0]):
b = list(b)
yield b[0][1], b[-1][1]
def unicode_range(chars):
ints = sorted([ord(c) for c in set(chars)])
groups = list(ranges(ints))
groups1 = [(hex(a), hex(b)) for a, b in groups]
groups2 = [(f'{a}-{b}' if a != b else a) for a, b in groups1]
return ', '.join(groups2).replace('-0x', '-').replace('0x', 'U+').upper()
